Upgrade Debian:10 flac to version 1.3.2-2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

An error in the "read_metadata_vorbiscomment_()" function (src/libFLAC/stream_decoder.c) in FLAC version 1.3.2 can be exploited to cause a memory leak via a specially crafted FLAC file.
