How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 gnome-screensaver to version 2.14.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

gnome screensaver before 2.14, when running on an X server with AllowDeactivateGrabs and AllowClosedownGrabs enabled, allows attackers with physical access to cause the screensaver to crash and access the session via the Ctl+Alt+Keypad-Multiply keyboard sequence, which removes the grab from gnome.
