How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 ettercap to version 1:0.8.1-3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ettercap package and not the ettercap package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The dissector_postgresql function in dissectors/ec_postgresql.c in Ettercap before 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted password length, which triggers a 0 character to be written to an arbitrary memory location.
