How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 rkhunter to version 1.2.7-14 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The (1) check_update.sh and (2) rkhunter script in Rootkit Hunter before 1.2.3-r1 create temporary files with predictable file names, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
