How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 cairo.

NVD Description

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

cairo-truetype-subset.c in cairo 1.15.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) because of mishandling of an unexpected malloc(0) call.
