Upgrade Debian:8 linux-4.9 to version 4.9.210-1+deb9u1~deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.9 package and not the linux-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Android kernel in the kernel MMU code there is a possible execution path leaving some kernel text and rodata pages writable. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
