How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 qt4-x11 to version 4.2.2-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qt4-x11 package and not the qt4-x11 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The UTF-8 decoder in codecs/qutfcodec.cpp in Qt 3.3.8 and 4.2.3 does not reject long UTF-8 sequences as required by the standard, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and directory traversal attacks via long sequences that decode to dangerous metacharacters.
