The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'musl' package(s) announced via the DLA-2474-1 advisory. The wcsnrtombs function in all musl libc versions up through 1.2.1 has been found to have multiple bugs in handling of destination buffer size leading to an infinite loop or writing past the end of destination buffers

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.16-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your musl packages.
