How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:18.04 librsvg.

NVD Description

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

In xml.rs in GNOME librsvg before 2.46.2, a crafted SVG file with nested patterns can cause denial of service when passed to the library for processing. The attacker constructs pattern elements so that the number of final rendered objects grows exponentially.
