How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libx11 to version 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libx11 package and not the libx11 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier do not restrict the recursion depth when processing directives to include files, which allows X servers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted file.
