How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 php5 to version 5.1.4-0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The substr_compare function in string.c in PHP 5.1.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory access violation) via an out-of-bounds offset argument.
