How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libapache2-mod-perl2 to version 2.0.10-2+deb9u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libapache2-mod-perl2 package and not the libapache2-mod-perl2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

mod_perl 2.0 through 2.0.10 allows attackers to execute arbitrary Perl code by placing it in a user-owned .htaccess file, because (contrary to the documentation) there is no configuration option that permits Perl code for the administrator's control of HTTP request processing without also permitting unprivileged users to run Perl code in the context of the user account that runs Apache HTTP Server processes.
