How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 systemd-pam.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in systemd. An uncontrolled recursion in systemd-tmpfiles may lead to a denial of service at boot time when too many nested directories are created in /tmp.
