dpkg vulnerabilities
3 known CVE vulnerabilities in dpkg, translated and rated.
- CVE-2014-3127High
Dpkg version 1.15.9 on Debian squeeze introduces support for the 'C-style encoded filenames' feature without recognizing that the squeeze patch program lacks this feature. This leads to an interaction error that allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and modify files outside of the intended directories via a crafted source package.
- CVE-2017-8283Critical
The dpkg-source program in versions 1.3.0 through 1.18.23 allows the use of a non-GNU patch program and does not provide a protection mechanism for blank-indented diff hunks, enabling remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks via a crafted Debian source package.
- CVE-2025-6297High
It was discovered that dpkg-deb does not properly sanitize directory permissions when extracting a control member into a temporary directory, which is documented as being a safe operation even on untrusted data. This may result in leaving temporary files behind on cleanup.
