How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 cups to version 1.3.8-1lenny4 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups package and not the cups package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the _cupsImageReadPNG function in CUPS 1.1.17 through 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PNG image with a large height value, which bypasses a validation check and triggers a buffer overflow.
