How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:13 rust-coreutils.

NVD Description

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

The cp utility in uutils coreutils, when performing recursive copies (-R), incorrectly treats character and block device nodes as stream sources rather than preserving them. Because the implementation reads bytes into regular files at the destination instead of using mknod, device semantics are destroyed (e.g., /dev/null becomes a regular file). This behavior can lead to runtime denial of service through disk exhaustion or process hangs when reading from unbounded device nodes.
