How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:11 sane-backends.

NVD Description

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

An issue in Sane 1.2.1 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file to the sanei_configure_attach() function. NOTE: this is disputed because there is no expectation that the product should be starting with an attacker-controlled configuration file.
