How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 kvirc to version 4:4.0.0-3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The IRC Protocol component in KVIrc 3.x and 4.x before r4693 does not properly handle \ (backslash) characters, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary CTCP commands via vectors involving \r and \40 sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2451 and CVE-2010-2452.
