How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 requests to version 2.4.3-6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The resolve_redirects function in sessions.py in requests 2.1.0 through 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to conduct session fixation attacks via a cookie without a host value in a redirect.
