How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 e2fsprogs to version 1.42.12-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream e2fsprogs package and not the e2fsprogs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in openfs.c in the libext2fs library in e2fsprogs before 1.42.12 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via crafted block group descriptor data in a filesystem image.
