How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libvpx to version 1.4.0-4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.65 relies on libvpx code that was not built with an appropriate --size-limit value, which allows remote attackers to trigger a negative value for a size field, and consequently cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact, via a crafted frame size in VP9 video data.
