How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 krb5 to version 1.13.2+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5 package and not the krb5 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

MIT krb5 1.6 or later allows an authenticated kadmin with permission to add principals to an LDAP Kerberos database to circumvent a DN containership check by supplying both a "linkdn" and "containerdn" database argument, or by supplying a DN string which is a left extension of a container DN string but is not hierarchically within the container DN.
