How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 mercurial to version 1.0.1-5.1 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.

Mercurial before 1.0.2 does not enforce the allowpull permission setting for a pull operation from hgweb, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from a repository via an "hg pull" request.
