How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 qemu to version 2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.46 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In QEMU 3.1.0, load_device_tree in device_tree.c calls the deprecated load_image function, which has a buffer overflow risk.
