How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 qemu to version 1:2.7+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The mptsas_process_scsi_io_request function in QEMU (aka Quick Emulator), when built with LSI SAS1068 Host Bus emulation support, allows local guest OS administrators to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and QEMU process crash) via vectors involving MPTSASRequest objects.
