How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 botan1.10 to version 1.10.8-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream botan1.10 package and not the botan1.10 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Miller-Rabin primality check in Botan before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.9 improperly uses a single random base, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a DH group.
