How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 libxpm to version 1:3.5.12-1.1~deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in libXpm. When processing a file with width of 0 and a very large height, some parser functions will be called repeatedly and can lead to an infinite loop, resulting in a Denial of Service in the application linked to the library.
