How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libpng1.6 to version 1.6.28-1+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng1.6 package and not the libpng1.6 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

png_image_free in png.c in libpng 1.6.x before 1.6.37 has a use-after-free because png_image_free_function is called under png_safe_execute.
