There is no fixed version for Debian:13 mruby.

NVD Description

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

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Prism parser component of mruby 4.0.0. An attacker can provide a specially crafted Ruby source file that triggers the parser to pass a NULL pointer to nonnull string handling functions, resulting in undefined behavior and application crash.
