How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 sudo to version 1.8.15-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

sudo_noexec.so in Sudo before 1.8.15 on Linux might allow local users to bypass intended noexec command restrictions via an application that calls the (1) system or (2) popen function.
