How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:10 gdm3.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdm3 package and not the gdm3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

gdm3 versions before 3.36.2 or 3.38.2 would start gnome-initial-setup if gdm3 can't contact the accountservice service via dbus in a timely manner; on Ubuntu (and potentially derivatives) this could be be chained with an additional issue that could allow a local user to create a new privileged account.
