How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 eglibc to version 2.19-0ubuntu6.15+esm3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eglibc package and not the eglibc package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

nscd in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before version 2.20 does not correctly compute the size of an internal buffer when processing netgroup requests, possibly leading to an nscd daemon crash or code execution as the user running nscd.
