How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 opensc to version 0.11.4-5 or higher.

NVD Description

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

pkcs15-tool in OpenSC before 0.11.6 does not apply security updates to a smart card unless the card's label matches the "OpenSC" string, which might allow physically proximate attackers to exploit vulnerabilities that the card owner expected were patched, as demonstrated by exploitation of CVE-2008-2235.
