How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 elog to version 2.6.2+r1754-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The show_elog_list function in elogd.c in elog 2.6.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by attempting to access a logbook whose name begins with "global," which results in a NULL pointer dereference. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
