How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 icoutils to version 0.31.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The extract_group_icon_cursor_resource in wrestool/extract.c in icoutils before 0.31.1 can access unallocated memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable.
