Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 openssh to version 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.10+esm5 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
In ssh in OpenSSH before 9.6, OS command injection might occur if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters, and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. For example, an untrusted Git repository can have a submodule with shell metacharacters in a user name or host name.
