How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 spamassassin to version 3.4.2-0+deb8u2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

In Apache SpamAssassin before 3.4.3, nefarious CF files can be configured to run system commands without any output or errors. With this, exploits can be injected in a number of scenarios. In addition to upgrading to SA 3.4.3, we recommend that users should only use update channels or 3rd party .cf files from trusted places.
