How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libxtst to version 2:1.2.2-1+deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access operations by leveraging the lack of range checks.
