How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 avahi to version 0.6.16-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The consume_labels function in avahi-core/dns.c in Avahi before 0.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted compressed DNS response with a label that points to itself.
