How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libexif to version 0.6.16-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the exif_data_load_data_entry function in libexif/exif-data.c in Libexif before 0.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an image with many EXIF components, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
