The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:20.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream zabbix package and not the zabbix package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The mysql user parameter configuration script (userparameter_mysql.conf) in the agent in Zabbix before 2.0.18, 2.2.x before 2.2.13, and 3.0.x before 3.0.3, when used with a shell other than bash, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or SQL commands via the mysql.size parameter.
