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 multiple integer overflows leading to a heap corruption in file2strvec function. This allows a privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which could result in crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users.
