How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable firefox to version 48.0-1 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 48.0 mishandles changes from 'INPUT type="password"' to 'INPUT type="text"' within a single Session Manager session, which might allow attackers to discover cleartext passwords by reading a session restoration file.
