How to fix?

There is no fixed version for libtom/libtomcrypt.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. In LibTomCrypt through 1.18.2, the der_decode_utf8_string function (in der_decode_utf8_string.c) does not properly detect certain invalid UTF-8 sequences. This allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) or read information from other memory locations via carefully crafted DER-encoded data.
