There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:22.04 protobuf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream protobuf package and not the protobuf package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A parsing issue similar to CVE-2022-3171, but with Message-Type Extensions in protobuf-java core and lite versions prior to 3.21.7, 3.20.3, 3.19.6 and 3.16.3 can lead to a denial of service attack. Inputs containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields causes objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses. We recommend updating to the versions mentioned above.
