How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libsndfile to version 1.0.20-1 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.

Heap-based buffer overflow in voc_read_header in libsndfile 1.0.15 through 1.0.19, as used in Winamp 5.552 and possibly other media programs, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a VOC file with an invalid header value.
