How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 python2.7 to version 2.7.12-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2.7 package and not the python2.7 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The CGIHandler class in Python before 2.7.12 does not protect against the HTTP_PROXY variable name clash in a CGI script, which could allow a remote attacker to redirect HTTP requests.
