How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 bash to version 4.3-9.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-026 does not properly parse function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169, and CVE-2014-6277.
