How to fix?

There is no fixed version for libplist.

Overview

libplist is a library to handle Apple Property List format in binary or XML

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Heap-based buffer overflow in the parse_string_node function in bplist.c in libimobiledevice allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted plist file.
