How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 ffmpeg to version 7:2.8.14-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The read_header function in libavcodec/ffv1dec.c in FFmpeg 2.4 and 3.3.4 and possibly earlier allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted MP4 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
