How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 net-tools.

NVD Description

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

ifconfig, when used on the Linux kernel 2.2 and later, does not report when the network interface is in promiscuous mode if it was put in promiscuous mode using PACKET_MR_PROMISC, which could allow attackers to sniff the network without detection, as demonstrated using libpcap.
