How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 dpkg to version 1.17.25 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.

The dpkg-source command in Debian dpkg before 1.16.16 and 1.17.x before 1.17.25 allows remote attackers to bypass signature verification via a crafted Debian source control file (.dsc).
