Upgrade Debian:10 file to version 4.20-6 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file package and not the file package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The gnu regular expression code in file 4.20 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted document with a large number of line feed characters, which is not well handled by OS/2 REXX regular expressions that use wildcards, as originally reported for AMaViS.
