How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 gdk-pixbuf to version 2.32.2-1ubuntu1.6+esm2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the GIF parser of GdkPixbuf’s LZW decoder. When an invalid symbol is encountered during decompression, the decoder sets the reported output size to the full buffer length rather than the actual number of written bytes. This logic error results in uninitialized sections of the buffer being included in the output, potentially leaking arbitrary memory contents in the processed image.
