How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 dbus to version 1.12.2-1ubuntu1.4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dbus package and not the dbus package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in D-Bus before 1.12.24, 1.13.x and 1.14.x before 1.14.4, and 1.15.x before 1.15.2. An authenticated attacker can cause dbus-daemon and other programs that use libdbus to crash when receiving a message where an array length is inconsistent with the size of the element type.
