How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libgd2 to version 2.2.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgd2 package and not the libgd2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The gdImageScaleTwoPass function in gd_interpolation.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.0, as used in PHP before 5.6.12, uses inconsistent allocate and free approaches, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted call, as demonstrated by a call to the PHP imagescale function.
