Upgrade Debian:9 nginx to version 1.9.10-1 or higher.
NVD Description

See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted UDP DNS response.
