How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 procps to version 2:3.3.9-9+deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation in top. If a user runs top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could achieve privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the config_file() function.
