How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 v8-12.4-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream v8-12.4-devel package and not the v8-12.4-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

zlib before 1.3.2 allows CPU consumption via crc32_combine64 and crc32_combine_gen64 because x2nmodp can do right shifts within a loop that has no termination condition.
