How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wolfssl to version 5.9.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The PKCS#7 decode path ignores the caller-supplied output buffer size (outputSz), allowing decoded content to be written past the bounds of the provided buffer. This affects wolfSSL 5.9.0 and earlier and was fixed in the 5.9.1 release.
