Affected Packages

Package Vulnerable Unaffected ------------- ------------ ------------ app-arch/dpkg < 1.20.9-r1 >= 1.20.9-r1

Impact

Dpkg::Source::Archive in dpkg, the Debian package management system, is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. When extracting untrusted source packages in v2 and v3 source package formats that include a debian.tar, the in-place extraction can lead to directory traversal situations on specially crafted orig.tar and debian.tar tarballs.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.
