How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 afflib to version 3.7.16-3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream afflib package and not the afflib package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The af_get_page() function in lib/afflib_pages.cpp in AFFLIB (aka AFFLIBv3) through 3.7.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a corrupt AFF image that triggers an unexpected pagesize value.
