How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 util-linux to version 2.12p-8 or higher.

NVD Description

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

umount in util-linux 2.8 to 2.12q, 2.13-pre1, and 2.13-pre2, and other packages such as loop-aes-utils, allows local users with unmount permissions to gain privileges via the -r (remount) option, which causes the file system to be remounted with just the read-only flag, which effectively clears the nosuid, nodev, and other flags.
