    Rhodri James discovered an infinite loop vulnerability within the
    entityValueInitProcessor() function while parsing malformed XML

    the Expat library.

    in version 2.1.0-6+deb8u4.

    For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.0-2+deb9u1. For the stable distribution (stretch),
