How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 dpkg to version 1.13.11 or higher.

NVD Description

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

zlib 1.2 and later versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted compressed stream with an incomplete code description of a length greater than 1, which leads to a buffer overflow, as demonstrated using a crafted PNG file.
