How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 tiff to version 3.8.2-6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize).
