Debian · Dpkg · CVE-2010-0396
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
dpkg versions prior to 1.14.29
**Description**
A directory traversal issue exists in the dpkg-source component, allowing remote attackers to modify arbitrary files via a crafted Debian source archive. Multiple vulnerabilities in the dpkg-dev package may lead to disruption of integrity and availability of protected information, and exploitation can be done remotely.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.14.29, update to version 1.14.29 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the dpkg-source component until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted Debian source archives in the affected dpkg versions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
