How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 json-c to version 0.11-4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The hash functionality in json-c before 0.12 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted JSON data, involving collisions.
