How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libxml2 to version 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1839.
