How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 cups to version 1.3.8-1lenny2 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.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_rle16 function in imagetops in CUPS before 1.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an SGI image with malformed Run Length Encoded (RLE) data containing a small image and a large row count.
