How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 jss to version 4.6.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the "Leaf and Chain" OCSP policy implementation in JSS' CryptoManager versions after 4.4.6, 4.5.3, 4.6.0, where it implicitly trusted the root certificate of a certificate chain. Applications using this policy may not properly verify the chain and could be vulnerable to attacks such as Man in the Middle.
