How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 lrzip to version 0.631+git180528-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In Long Range Zip (aka lrzip) 0.631, there is a use-after-free in read_stream in stream.c, because decompress_file in lrzip.c lacks certain size validation.
