How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:19.10 curl to version 7.65.3-1ubuntu3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:19.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

curl 7.20.0 through 7.70.0 is vulnerable to improper restriction of names for files and other resources that can lead too overwriting a local file when the -J flag is used.
