How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 gnutls28 to version 3.2.11-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gnutls28 package and not the gnutls28 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.12 does not properly handle unspecified errors when verifying X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
