How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 fscrypt to version 0.3.3-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The PAM module for fscrypt doesn't adequately validate fscrypt metadata files, allowing users to create malicious metadata files that prevent other users from logging in. A local user can cause a denial of service by creating a fscrypt metadata file that prevents other users from logging into the system. We recommend upgrading to version 0.3.3 or above
