How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable qemu to version 1:6.2+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A stack-buffer-overflow was found in QEMU in the NVME component. The flaw lies in nvme_changed_nslist() where a malicious guest controlling certain input can read out of bounds memory. A malicious user could use this flaw leading to disclosure of sensitive information.
