How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 gnome-screensaver to version 2.28.3-1 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 2.28.x before 2.28.3 does not properly synchronize the state of screen locking and the unlock dialog in situations involving a change to the number of monitors, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass screen locking and access an unattended workstation by connecting and disconnecting monitors multiple times, a related issue to CVE-2010-0414.
