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.

An integer overflow in ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages may allow local users to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a large -w value, which could be remotely exploited via applications that use ls, such as wu-ftpd.
