How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:18.04 openssl to version 1.0.2g-1ubuntu9 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl package and not the openssl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The certificate parser in OpenSSL before 1.0.1u and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2i might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted certificate operations, related to s3_clnt.c and s3_srvr.c.
