Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 libonig to version 6.3.0-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libonig package and not the libonig package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue was discovered in Oniguruma 6.2.0, as used in Oniguruma-mod in Ruby through 2.4.1 and mbstring in PHP through 7.1.5. A heap out-of-bounds write occurs in bitset_set_range() during regular expression compilation due to an uninitialized variable from an incorrect state transition. An incorrect state transition in parse_char_class() could create an execution path that leaves a critical local variable uninitialized until it's used as an index, resulting in an out-of-bounds write memory corruption.
