How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 coreutils to version 5.2.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages allows local users to consume a large amount of memory via a large -w value, which can be remotely exploited via applications that use ls, such as wu-ftpd.
