How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:13 pcp.

NVD Description

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

A signed integer overflow in the PCP __pmGetPDU() function can be exploited via crafted network packets during PDU processing or SASL negotiation. This permanently blinds the affected daemon, resulting in a total denial of service (DoS) for subsequent packet reads.
