How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 7zip to version 22.01+dfsg-8+deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream 7zip package and not the 7zip package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The NtfsHandler.cpp NTFS handler in 7-Zip before 24.01 (for 7zz) contains a heap-based buffer overflow that allows an attacker to overwrite two bytes at multiple offsets beyond the allocated buffer size: buffer+512*i-2, for i=9, i=10, i=11, etc.
