How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:18.04 libytnef.

NVD Description

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

The TNEFFillMapi function in lib/ytnef.c in libytnef in ytnef through 1.9.2 does not ensure a nonzero count value before a certain memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted tnef file.
