How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 grub2-tools-minimal.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream grub2-tools-minimal package and not the grub2-tools-minimal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in grub2 where the grub_extcmd_dispatcher() function calls grub_arg_list_alloc() to allocate memory for the grub's argument list. However, it fails to check in case the memory allocation fails. Once the allocation fails, a NULL point will be processed by the parse_option() function, leading grub to crash or, in some rare scenarios, corrupt the IVT data.
