How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 libnss-db to version 2.2.3pre1-3.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) Berkeley DB NSS module (aka libnss-db) 2.2.3pre1 reads the DB_CONFIG file in the current working directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack involving a setgid or setuid application that uses this module.
