How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 firefox-esr to version 45.0esr-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The nsNPObjWrapper::GetNewOrUsed function in dom/plugins/base/nsJSNPRuntime.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and memory corruption) via a crafted NPAPI plugin.
