How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 nss to version 3.12.8-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The SSL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9 does not properly set the minimum key length for Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral (DHE) mode, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms via a brute-force attack.
