Upgrade Debian:11 glibc to version 2.31-13+deb11u3 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc package and not the glibc package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
The mq_notify function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) versions 2.32 and 2.33 has a use-after-free. It may use the notification thread attributes object (passed through its struct sigevent parameter) after it has been freed by the caller, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly unspecified other impact.
