Upgrade Debian:9 expat to version 2.1.0~beta3-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities.
