How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 cups to version 1.5.0-16 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The OPVPWrapper::loadDriver function in oprs/OPVPWrapper.cxx in the pdftoopvp filter in CUPS and cups-filters before 1.0.47 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse driver in the same directory as the PDF file.
