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.

In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match.
