How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable firefox to version 49.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 does not properly restrict the scheme in favicon requests, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by a jar: URL for a favicon resource.
