How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 unzip to version 5.52-11 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The NEEDBITS macro in the inflate_dynamic function in inflate.c for unzip can be invoked using invalid buffers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors that trigger a free of uninitialized or previously-freed data.
