How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 glibc to version 2.5-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The nscd daemon in the GNU C Library (glibc) before version 2.5 does not close incoming client sockets if they cannot be handled by the daemon, allowing local users to carry out a denial of service attack on the daemon.
