How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 qemu to version 2.1+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Qemu 1.1.2+dfsg to 2.1+dfsg suffers from a buffer overrun which could potentially result in arbitrary code execution on the host with the privileges of the QEMU process.
