How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 potrace.

NVD Description

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

The bm_readbody_bmp function in bitmap_io.c in Potrace 1.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted BMP image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-8698.
