How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libxml2 to version 2.9.4+dfsg1-3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in libxml2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an incorrect limit for port values when handling redirects.
