There is no fixed version for Debian:8 wireshark.

NVD Description

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

In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.4, the DOCSIS protocol dissector could crash. This was addressed in plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c by removing the recursive algorithm that had been used for concatenated PDUs.
