How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 nagios.

NVD Description

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

Nagios Core through 4.3.4 initially executes /usr/sbin/nagios as root but supports configuration options in which this file is owned by a non-root account (and similarly can have nagios.cfg owned by a non-root account), which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this non-root account.
