How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 tar to version 1.15.1-3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Buffer overflow in tar 1.14 through 1.15.90 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute code via unspecified vectors involving PAX extended headers.
