How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 expat to version 2.2.10-2+deb11u2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream expat package and not the expat package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.5, an attacker can trigger stack exhaustion in build_model via a large nesting depth in the DTD element.
