How to fix?

There is no fixed version for libplist.

Overview

libplist is a library to handle Apple Property List format in binary or XML

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The vulnerability exists because the parse_string_node function in bplist.c does not properly handle malloc() failure , allowing the attacker to cause a denial of service through a plist file locally.
