I'd like to update the gnustep-base package in buster to fix #939119.
Additionally, the OP has also discovered a vulnerability in the gdomap
daemon which was reported to the Debian security team. Haven't got a
response from them but the patch was approved by the upstream
maintainer and subsequently committed to the upstream repository.
Tested on a buster system; debdiff attached.

+Description: Fix UDP amplification vulnerability
+ A couple of is_local_net() tests were wrong: they used "&&" with
+ masks, but that is the logical shortcut operator. The correct
+ bitwise operator is "&". The result was that is_local_net() was
+ always returning true.
+ .
+ Only allow local processes to send GDO_SERVERS requests. This
+ request is only useful locally. Do not allow remote requests for the
+ server list. Our response can be large, so it would make a great UDP
+ amplification attack.
+ .
+ Patch by Alan Jenkins <alan.christopher.jenkins@gmail.com>; issue
+ reported to the Debian security team.
