There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 php-odbc.

NVD Description

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

The odbc_bindcols function in ext/odbc/php_odbc.c in PHP before 5.6.12 mishandles driver behavior for SQL_WVARCHAR columns, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging use of the odbc_fetch_array function to access a certain type of Microsoft SQL Server table.
