How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:9 scala.

NVD Description

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

The compilation daemon in Scala before 2.10.7, 2.11.x before 2.11.12, and 2.12.x before 2.12.4 uses weak permissions for private files in /tmp/scala-devel/${USER:shared}/scalac-compile-server-port, which allows local users to write to arbitrary class files and consequently gain privileges.
