How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 coreutils to version 8.23-1 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.

The parse_datetime function in GNU coreutils allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted date string, as demonstrated by the "--date=TZ="123"345" @1" string to the touch or date command.
