| Category: Ubuntu Local Security Checks | Risk factor: High | Added: 11 Mar 2010 |
| Synopsis: These remote packages are missing security patches : - dpkg - dpkg-dev - dselect Description: William Grant discovered that dpkg-source did not safely apply diffs when unpacking source 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. Solution: Upgrade to : - dpkg-1.15.4ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 9.10) - dpkg-dev-1.15.4ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 9.10) - dselect-1.15.4ubuntu2.1 (Ubuntu 9.10) Risk factor: High |
