How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 icedove to version 2.0.0.16-1 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 before 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 do not properly handle an invalid .properties file for an add-on, which allows remote attackers to read uninitialized memory, as demonstrated by use of ISO 8859 encoding instead of UTF-8 encoding in a French .properties file.
