Upgrade Debian:unstable
dpkg
to version 1.18.24 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dpkg
package and not the dpkg
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:unstable
relevant fixed versions and status.
dpkg-source in dpkg 1.3.0 through 1.18.23 is able to use a non-GNU patch program and does not offer a protection mechanism for blank-indented diff hunks, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks via a crafted Debian source package, as demonstrated by use of dpkg-source on NetBSD.
