How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 cairo to version 1.14.6-1ubuntu0.1~esm1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cairo package and not the cairo package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

cairo-truetype-subset.c in cairo 1.15.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) because of mishandling of an unexpected malloc(0) call.
