Upgrade Debian:11 libpng1.6 to version 1.6.16-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpng1.6 package and not the libpng1.6 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
Buffer overflow in the png_read_IDAT_data function in pngrutil.c in libpng before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.16 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via IDAT data with a large width, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-9495.
