How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 icedove to version 2.0.0.19-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 do not properly change the source URI when processing a canvas element and an HTTP redirect, which allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin policy and access arbitrary images that are not directly accessible to the attacker. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to enumerate software on the client by performing redirections related to moz-icon.
