How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 nss to version 2:3.14.3-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The TLS implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.
