How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 opencv to version 2.4.9.1+dfsg-1.5ubuntu1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_pxm.cpp, the length of buffer AutoBuffer _src is small than expected, which will cause copy buffer overflow later. If the image is from remote, may lead to remote code execution or denial of service. This affects Opencv 3.3 and earlier.
