How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 rxvt.

NVD Description

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

Rxvt 2.7.10 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack by passing the value -2^31 inside a terminal escape code, which results in a non-invertible integer that eventually leads to a segfault due to an out of bounds read.
