How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 python3.5 to version 3.5.3-1+deb9u2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.5 package and not the python3.5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the X509 certificate parser of Python.org Python 2.7.11 / 3.6.6. A specially crafted X509 certificate can cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a denial of service. An attacker can initiate or accept TLS connections using crafted certificates to trigger this vulnerability.
