How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 super to version 3.30.0-7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

super.c in Super 3.30.0 does not check the return value of the setuid function when the -F flag is set, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, aka an RLIMIT_NPROC attack.
