There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 restlet.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream restlet package and not the restlet package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
Restlet Framework before 2.3.12 allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files via a crafted REST API HTTP request that conducts an XXE attack, because only general external entities (not parameter external entities) are properly considered. This is related to XmlRepresentation, DOMRepresentation, SaxRepresentation, and JacksonRepresentation.
