How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 glibc to version 2.15 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.

scanf and related functions in glibc before 2.15 allow local users to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a large string of 0s.
