How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 openldap to version 2.4.42+dfsg-2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The ber_get_next function in libraries/liblber/io.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.42 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reachable assertion and application crash) via crafted BER data, as demonstrated by an attack against slapd.
