How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 gif2png to version 2.5.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gif2png package and not the gif2png package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in gif2png.c in gif2png 2.5.3 and earlier might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long command-line argument, as demonstrated by a CGI program that launches gif2png.
