How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libsndfile to version 1.0.19-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in libsndfile 1.0.18, as used in Winamp and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted description chunks in a CAF audio file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
