How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:10 salt.

NVD Description

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

Git Providers can read from the wrong environment because they get the same cache directory base name in Salt masters prior to 3005.2 or 3006.2. Anything that uses Git Providers with different environments can get garbage data or the wrong data, which can lead to wrongful data disclosure, wrongful executions, data corruption and/or crash.
