How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libproxy to version 0.4.14-2+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

url::recvline in url.cpp in libproxy 0.4.x through 0.4.15 allows a remote HTTP server to trigger uncontrolled recursion via a response composed of an infinite stream that lacks a newline character. This leads to stack exhaustion.
