How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 openexr to version 2.2.0-11+deb9u3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

There's a flaw in OpenEXR's ImfDeepScanLineInputFile functionality in versions prior to 3.0.5. An attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to an application linked with OpenEXR could cause an out-of-bounds read. The greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability.
