Severity: Normal
Title: dpkg: Directory Traversal
Date: August 12, 2024
Bugs: #847976
ID: 202408-30


Synopsis

A vulnerability has been discovered in dpkg, which allows for directory
traversal.

Background

Debian package management system.

Affected packages

Package Vulnerable Unaffected


app-arch/dpkg < 1.20.9-r1 >= 1.20.9-r1

Description

Please review the CVE indentifier referenced below for details.

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.

Resolution

All dpkg users should upgrade to the latest version:

emerge --sync

emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose “>=app-arch/dpkg-1.20.9-r1”
