How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 bzip2 to version 1.0.2-8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bzip2 package and not the bzip2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script.
