How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libav to version 6:11.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

libavcodec/on2avc.c in FFmpeg before 2.4.2 does not constrain the number of channels to at most 2, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted On2 data.
