How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 virtualbox to version 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 4.2.6, and Xen 4.3.x through 4.6.x, allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS panic or hang) by triggering many #DB (aka Debug) exceptions, related to svm.c.
