How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable adminer.

NVD Description

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

Adminer 4.8.1, when using Monolog for logging, allows a Denial of Service (memory consumption) via a crafted serialized payload (e.g., using s:1000000000), leading to a PHP Object Injection issue. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can trigger this by sending a malicious serialized object, which forces excessive memory usage, rendering Adminer’s interface unresponsive and causing a server-level DoS. While the server may recover after several minutes, multiple simultaneous requests can cause a complete crash requiring manual intervention.
