NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dpkg package and not the dpkg package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the parse_error_msg function in parsehelp.c in dpkg before 1.17.22 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in the (1) package or (2) architecture name.
