How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 gnupg2 to version 2.0.19-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnupg2 package and not the gnupg2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The read_block function in g10/import.c in GnuPG 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 2.0.x through 2.0.19, when importing a key, allows remote attackers to corrupt the public keyring database or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted length field of an OpenPGP packet.
