How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 jq-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jq-devel package and not the jq-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, jq accepts embedded NUL bytes in import paths at the jq-language level, but later resolves those paths through C string operations during module and data-file lookup. This creates a mismatch between the logical import string that policy or audit code may validate and the on-disk path that jq actually opens.
