How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 curl to version 7.51.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The curl_getdate function in curl before version 7.51.0 is vulnerable to an out of bounds read if it receives an input with one digit short.
