How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 openssl-libs to version 2:1.0.1e-51.ksplice1.el7_2.5 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2016-3556.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl-libs package and not the openssl-libs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The AES-NI implementation in OpenSSL before 1.0.1t and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2h does not consider memory allocation during a certain padding check, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information via a padding-oracle attack against an AES CBC session. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2013-0169.
