How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 suricata.

NVD Description

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

The MemcmpLowercase function in Suricata before 2.0.6 improperly excludes the first byte from comparisons, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intrusion-prevention functionality via a crafted HTTP request.
