How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 qemu to version 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.42 or higher.

NVD Description

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

qemu-bridge-helper.c in QEMU 3.1 and 4.0.0 does not ensure that a network interface name (obtained from bridge.conf or a --br=bridge option) is limited to the IFNAMSIZ size, which can lead to an ACL bypass.
