How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:10 colord.

NVD Description

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

There are two Information Disclosure vulnerabilities in colord, and they lie in colord/src/cd-device-db.c and colord/src/cd-profile-db.c separately. They exist because the 'err_msg' of 'sqlite3_exec' is not releasing after use, while libxml2 emphasizes that the caller needs to release it.
