There is no fixed version for Debian:13 lxd.

NVD Description

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

An improper neutralization of special elements vulnerability in LXD's NVIDIA instance configuration handling allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary configuration directives. By supplying newline characters within the 'nvidia.driver.capabilities' or 'nvidia.require.*' configuration values, an attacker can manipulate the generated lxc.conf file. This flaw enables the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system with the privileges of the LXD daemon.
