How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:9 adns.

NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in adns before 1.5.2. adnshost mishandles a missing final newline on a stdin read. It is wrong to increment used as well as setting r, since used is incremented according to r, later. Rather one should be doing what read() would have done. Without this fix, adnshost may read and process one byte beyond the buffer, perhaps crashing or perhaps somehow leaking the value of that byte.
