How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libpng1.6 to version 1.6.16-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng1.6 package and not the libpng1.6 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the png_combine_row function in libpng before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.16, when running on 64-bit systems, might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "very wide interlaced" PNG image.
