Debian Security Advisory DSA-2011-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
March 10th, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : dpkg
Vulnerability : path traversal
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: yes
Debian bug : none
CVE ID : CVE-2010-0396
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.
For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem
will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your dpkg packages.
Upgrade instructions
- --------------------
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
