How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 unzip to version 5.52-7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Buffer overflow in UnZip 5.50 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename command line argument. NOTE: since the overflow occurs in a non-setuid program, there are not many scenarios under which it poses a vulnerability, unless unzip is passed long arguments when it is invoked from other programs.
