How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 eglibc.

NVD Description

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

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) nan, (2) nanf, or (3) nanl function.
