How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 file to version 4.20-1 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.

Integer underflow in the file_printf function in the "file" program before 4.20 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
