How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 xorg-server to version 2:1.16.2.901-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The DBE extension in X.Org X Window System (aka X11 or X) X11R6.1 and X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before 1.16.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted length or index value to the (1) ProcDbeSwapBuffers or (2) SProcDbeSwapBuffers function.
