There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 typo3-src.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream typo3-src package and not the typo3-src package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The sanitizeLocalUrl function in TYPO3 6.x before 6.2.15, 7.x before 7.4.0, 4.5.40, and earlier allows remote authenticated users to bypass the XSS filter and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a base64 encoded data URI, as demonstrated by the (1) returnUrl parameter to show_rechis.php and the (2) redirect_url parameter to index.php.
