How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 xpdf to version 3.02-9 or higher.

NVD Description

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

t1lib 5.1.2 and earlier, as used in Xpdf before 3.02pl6, teTeX, and other products, reads from invalid memory locations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Type 1 font in a PDF document, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0764.
