How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 wpa to version 2.3-2.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Multiple integer overflows in the NDEF record parser in hostapd before 2.5 and wpa_supplicant before 2.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash or infinite loop) via a large payload length field value in an (1) WPS or (2) P2P NFC NDEF record, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
