How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable freetype to version 2.3.4 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The ft_bitmap_assure_buffer function in src/base/ftbimap.c in FreeType 2.3.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving bitmap fonts, related to a "memory buffer overwrite bug."
