How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:11 golang-1.15.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.15 package and not the golang-1.15 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics. After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB.
