How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libffi to version 3.1-2+deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

libffi requests an executable stack allowing attackers to more easily trigger arbitrary code execution by overwriting the stack. Please note that libffi is used by a number of other libraries. It was previously stated that this affects libffi version 3.2.1 but this appears to be incorrect. libffi prior to version 3.1 on 32 bit x86 systems was vulnerable, and upstream is believed to have fixed this issue in version 3.1.
