How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 gdk-pixbuf2-tests.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdk-pixbuf2-tests package and not the gdk-pixbuf2-tests package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

io-tga.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.32.0 uses heap memory after its allocation failed, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Truevision TGA (TARGA) file.
