How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 postgresql-9.1 to version 9.1.11-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream postgresql-9.1 package and not the postgresql-9.1 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The "make check" command for the test suites in PostgreSQL 9.3.3 and earlier does not properly invoke initdb to specify the authentication requirements for a database cluster to be used for the tests, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this cluster.
