There is no fixed version for Debian:8 htslib.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream htslib package and not the htslib package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
An issue has been found in HTSlib 1.8. It is a memory leak in bgzf_getline in bgzf.c. NOTE: the software maintainer's position is that the "failure to free memory" can be fixed in applications that use the HTSlib library (such as test/test_bgzf.c in the original report) and is not a library issue
