Upgrade Debian:10 qemu to version 1:2.8+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 (aka Quick Emulator) built with the Virtio GPU Device emulator support is vulnerable to an information leakage issue. It could occur while processing 'VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_GET_CAPSET_INFO' command. A guest user/process could use this flaw to leak contents of the host memory bytes.
