Upgrade Debian:8 shadow to version 1:4.1.5-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shadow package and not the shadow package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
There is a possible tty hijacking in shadow 4.x before 4.1.5 and sudo 1.x before 1.7.4 via "su - user -c program". The user session can be escaped to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the input buffer to be read by the next process.
