How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 klibc to version 2.0.7-1ubuntu5.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream klibc package and not the klibc package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.
