How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 libav.

NVD Description

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

The read_header function in libavcodec/ffv1dec.c in FFmpeg 2.4 and 3.3.4 and possibly earlier allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted MP4 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
