How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable cyrus-sasl2 to version 2.1.19-1.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cyrus-sasl2 package and not the cyrus-sasl2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) libsasl and (2) libsasl2 libraries in Cyrus-SASL 2.1.18 and earlier trust the SASL_PATH environment variable to find all available SASL plug-ins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying the SASL_PATH to point to malicious programs.
