How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 openssl to version 1.0.0h-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The mime_hdr_cmp function in crypto/asn1/asn_mime.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8t and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted S/MIME message.
