How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:21.04 libsass.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsass package and not the libsass package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:21.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is an illegal address access in Sass::Eval::operator() in eval.cpp of LibSass 3.4.5, leading to a remote denial of service attack. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2017-11555 but remains exploitable after the vendor's CVE-2017-11555 fix (available from GitHub after 2017-07-24).
