How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 bash to version 4.2-4 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.

Stack-based buffer overflow in lib/sh/eaccess.c in GNU Bash before 4.2 patch 33 might allow local users to bypass intended restricted shell access via a long filename in /dev/fd, which is not properly handled when expanding the /dev/fd prefix.
