How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 busybox to version 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1.4+esm1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

decompress_gunzip.c in BusyBox through 1.32.1 mishandles the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data.
