How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 virt:rhel/libnbd-bash-completion.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream virt:rhel/libnbd-bash-completion package and not the virt:rhel/libnbd-bash-completion package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libnbd. A server can reply with a block size larger than 2^63 (the NBD spec states the size is a 64-bit unsigned value). This issue could lead to an application crash or other unintended behavior for NBD clients that doesn't treat the return value of the nbd_get_size() function correctly.
