How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libxml2 to version 2.9.3+dfsg1-1.1 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.

The xmlParseElementDecl function in parser.c in libxml2 before 2.9.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer underread and application crash) via a crafted file, involving xmlParseName.
