There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:18.04 lwipv6.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lwipv6 package and not the lwipv6 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

resolv.c in the DNS resolver in uIP, and dns.c in the DNS resolver in lwIP 1.4.1 and earlier, does not use random values for ID fields and source ports of DNS query packets, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cache-poisoning attacks via spoofed reply packets.
