There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 ming.

NVD Description

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

The printMP3Headers function in util/listmp3.c in libming v0.4.8 or earlier is vulnerable to a global buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-9264.
