Upgrade Debian:10 krb5 to version 1.4.4-8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream krb5 package and not the krb5 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The telnet daemon (telnetd) in MIT krb5 before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain system access via a username beginning with a '-' character, a similar issue to CVE-2007-0882.
