How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 mercurial to version 3.8.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The convert extension in Mercurial before 3.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted git repository name.
