This was caused by incorrect reference counting handling within for/while loops that convert system data into said Python objects.

CVE-2019-18874

psutil (aka python-psutil) through 5.6.5 can have a double free. This occurs because of refcount mishandling within a while or for loop that converts system data into a Python object.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-psutil packages.
