How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 gnupg2 to version 2.0.24-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnupg2 package and not the gnupg2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The do_uncompress function in g10/compress.c in GnuPG 1.x before 1.4.17 and 2.x before 2.0.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed compressed packets, as demonstrated by an a3 01 5b ff byte sequence.
