How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 graphviz to version 2.2.1-1sarge1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

graphviz before 2.2.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files. NOTE: this issue was originally associated with a different CVE identifier, CVE-2005-2965, which had been used for multiple different issues. This is the correct identifier.
