USN-1038-1 -- dpkg vulnerabilityID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:700221 | Date: (C)2011-01-28 (M)2021-06-06 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
Jakub Wilk and Raphaël Hertzog discovered that dpkg-source did not correctly handle certain paths and symlinks when unpacking source-format version 3.0 packages. If a user or an automated system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted source package, a remote attacker could modify files outside the target unpack directory, leading to a denial of service or potentially gaining access to the system.
