How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 perl to version 5.22.1-9ubuntu0.6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Perl before 5.26.3 has a buffer over-read via a crafted regular expression that triggers disclosure of sensitive information from process memory.
