How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 openssl1.0 to version 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl1.0 package and not the openssl1.0 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.3 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1o (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1n). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2ze (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zd).
