How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 dokuwiki.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dokuwiki package and not the dokuwiki package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The call parameter of /lib/exe/ajax.php in DokuWiki through 2017-02-19e does not properly encode user input, which leads to a reflected file download vulnerability, and allows remote attackers to run arbitrary programs.
