There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:18.04 suricata.

NVD Description

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

Suricata version 4.0.4 incorrectly handles the parsing of the SSH banner. A malformed SSH banner can cause the parsing code to read beyond the allocated data because SSHParseBanner in app-layer-ssh.c lacks a length check.
