How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 apt to version 0.8.15.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

APT before 0.8.15.2 does not properly validate inline GPG signatures, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to install modified packages via vectors involving lack of an initial clearsigned message.
