How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libxcursor to version 1:1.1.14-1+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

libXcursor before 1.1.15 has various integer overflows that could lead to heap buffer overflows when processing malicious cursors, e.g., with programs like GIMP. It is also possible that an attack vector exists against the related code in cursor/xcursor.c in Wayland through 1.14.0.
