How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 shadow to version 1:4.0.14-9 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.

The installation of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r1 from the network install CD creates /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf with world writable permissions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption).
