How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable freeimage.

NVD Description

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

When FreeImage 3.18.0 reads a special JXR file, the StreamCalcIFDSize function of JXRMeta.c repeatedly calls itself due to improper processing of the file, eventually causing stack exhaustion. An attacker can achieve a remote denial of service attack by sending a specially constructed file.
