How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 lintian to version 1.23.6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

lintian 1.23 and earlier removes the working directory even if it was not created by lintian, which may allow local users to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.
