Upgrade Debian:8
libxml2
to version 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u4 or higher.
NVD Description

package and not the libxml2
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:8
relevant fixed versions and status.
xpointer.c in libxml2 before 2.9.5 (as used in Apple iOS before 10, OS X before 10.12, tvOS before 10, and watchOS before 3, and other products) does not forbid namespace nodes in XPointer ranges, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and memory corruption) via a crafted XML document.
