Upgrade Debian:11 libsass to version 3.6.3-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsass package and not the libsass package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
In LibSass prior to 3.5.5, functions inside ast.cpp for IMPLEMENT_AST_OPERATORS expansion allow attackers to cause a denial-of-service resulting from stack consumption via a crafted sass file, as demonstrated by recursive calls involving clone(), cloneChildren(), and copy().
