How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 libmspack.

NVD Description

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

The chmd_read_headers function in chmd.c in libmspack before 0.5 does not validate name lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file.
