How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libgd2 to version 2.2.4-1 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 gdImageCreateFromGd2Ctx function in gd_gd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka libgd) before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted image file.
