How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 gcc-4.9.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gcc-4.9 package and not the gcc-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the random values via unspecified vectors.
