How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 jackson-databind to version 2.9.8-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow attackers to conduct external XML entity (XXE) attacks by leveraging failure to block unspecified JDK classes from polymorphic deserialization.
