How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 expat to version 2.1.0-7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Multiple integer overflows in the XML_GetBuffer function in Expat through 2.1.0, as used in Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 and other products, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XML data, a related issue to CVE-2015-2716.
