More information:

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenCV, the Open Computer Vision Library. Buffer overflows, NULL pointer dereferences and out-of-bounds write errors may lead to a denial-of-service or other unspecified impact.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.9.1+dfsg1-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your opencv packages.
