Severity

Medium

Vendor

Description

Max Justicz discovered that dpkg incorrectly handled unpacking certain 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. Update Instructions: Run `sudo ua fix USN-5446-1` to fix the vulnerability. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: dpkg-dev – 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4 dselect – 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4 libdpkg-dev – 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4 dpkg – 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4 libdpkg-perl – 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.4 No subscription required
