| Category: Debian Local Security Checks | Risk factor: High | Added: 11 Mar 2010 |
| Synopsis: The remote host is missing the DSA-2011 security update Description: William Grant discovered that the dpkg-source component of dpkg, the low-level infrastructure for handling the installation and removal of Debian software packages, is vulnerable to path traversal attacks. A specially crafted Debian source package can lead to file modification outside of the destination directory when extracting the package content. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.14.29. See also: http://www.debian.org/security/2010/dsa-2011 Solution: The Debian project recommends that you upgrade your dpkg packages. Risk factor: High |
