How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:21.10 maradns.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream maradns package and not the maradns package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:21.10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The authoritative server in MaraDNS through 2.0.04 computes hash values for DNS data without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which might allow local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted records in zone files, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-0024.
