Dist Debian Esm H88
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5001-1 tackles various vulnerabilities in bash, advising users to perform updates.
Busybox, utility programs for small and embedded systems, was affected by several security vulnerabilities

Summary

A path traversal vulnerability was found in Busybox implementation
of tar. tar will extract a symlink that points outside of the
current working directory and then follow that symlink when
extracting other files. This allows for a directory traversal
attack when extracting untrusted tarballs.

CVE-2013-1813

When device node or symlink in /dev should be created inside
2-or-deeper subdirectory (/dev/dir1/dir2.../node), the intermediate
directories are created with incorrect permissions.

CVE-2014-4607

An integer overflow may occur when processing any variant of a
"literal run" in the lzo1x_decompress_safe function. Each of these
three locations is subject to an integer overflow when processing
zero bytes. This exposes the code that copies literals to memory
corruption.

CVE-2014-9645

The add_probe function in modutils/modprobe.c in BusyBox allows
local users to bypass intended restrictions on loading kernel
