How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 libtasn1-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtasn1-devel package and not the libtasn1-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The _asn1_check_identifier function in GNU Libtasn1 through 4.12 causes a NULL pointer dereference and crash when reading crafted input that triggers assignment of a NULL value within an asn1_node structure. It may lead to a remote denial of service attack.
