How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 python3.4 to version 3.4.3-1ubuntu1~14.04.7+esm2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.4 package and not the python3.4 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 supports the local_file: scheme, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that blacklist file: URIs, as demonstrated by triggering a urllib.urlopen('local_file:///etc/passwd') call.
