Affected versions are dpkg before 1.21.8, 1.20.10, 1.19.8, and 1.18.26. Mitigation: upgrade to a fixed dpkg version (e.g., 1.21.8 or ...

CVE-2015-0860

CVE-2015-0860 affects the dpkg-deb component of dpkg. An off-by-one error in extracthalf/extract.c can cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the archive magic version number in an old-style Debian binary package, enabling remote code execution. The issue affects dpkg 1.16.x before 1.16.17 and 1...

CVE-2026-2219

The dpkg-deb tool, a component of the dpkg package management system, contains a vulnerability where it fails to properly validate the end of the data stream when uncompressing zstd-compressed .deb archives . This flaw can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted archive to tri...

CVE-2025-6297

The dpkg package manager, specifically the dpkg-deb utility, is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition due to improper sanitization of directory permissions during the extraction of a control member into a temporary directory. If automated and repeated commands are executed on adversar...

CVE-2010-1679

CVE-2010-1679 describes a directory-traversal flaw in dpkg-source (dpkg prior to 1.14.31 and 1.15.x) where a patch for a source-format 3.0 package can be exploited to modify arbitrary files. The root cause is insufficient validation of patch-driven file paths during source-package processing, ena...

CVE-2015-0840

CVE-2015-0840 affects dpkg before 1.16.16 and 1.17.x before 1.17.25.

Impact stated in sources:...

CVE-2010-0396

CVE-2010-0396 affects the dpkg package, specifically the dpkg-source component, where a directory traversal flaw in crafted Debian source archives could let an attacker modify arbitrary files. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 1.14.29; Debian’s security advisory references DSA-2011 an...

CVE-2014-8625

CVE-2014-8625 affects dpkg prior to 1.17.22, where the parse_error_msg function in parsehelp.c is vulnerable to format-string processing via the package or architecture name, enabling a denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution. Public references in the connected docs consistentl...

CVE-2014-0471

CVE-2014-0471 describes a directory-traversal in dpkg’s unpacking code (C-style filename quoting) that lets remote attackers write arbitrary files via a crafted source package. Affected are dpkg versions before 1.15.9, 1.16.x before 1.16.13, and 1.17.x before 1.17.8. The root cause is mis-handlin...

CVE-2014-3227

The CVE-2014-3227 entry concerns dpkg components: dpkg 1.15.9, 1.16.x before 1.16.14, and 1.17.x before 1.17.9 may rely on a patch program’s handling of the C-style encoded filenames feature. If the patch program is noncompliant, this leads to an interaction error that enables a directory travers...

CVE-2017-8283

CVE-2017-8283 concerns dpkg-source in dpkg 1.3.0 through 1.18.23, which can invoke a non-GNU patch program and lacks protection for blank-indented diff hunks. This enables remote attackers to perform directory traversal via a crafted Debian source package, demonstrated by using dpkg-source on Net...

CVE-2011-0402

CVE-2011-0402 affects dpkg-source in dpkg before 1.14.31 and 1.15.x, enabling a user-assisted remote attacker to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unspecified files in the .pc directory. The connected OpenVAS entries and Fedora/Debian advisories reference this CVE alongside updates (...

CVE-2014-3127

CVE-2014-3127 concerns dpkg 1.15.9 on Debian squeeze where enabling the C-style encoded filenames feature, without the corresponding patch in the squeeze patch program, can trigger an interaction error allowing directory traversal via a crafted source package. The note ties this to release engine...

CVE-2004-2768

The CVE-2004-2768 entry concerns dpkg 1.9.21 where metadata for a file is not properly reset during package upgrades. This could let local attackers gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable (1) setuid, (2) setgid, or (3) device file; the issue is related to CVE-2010-2059. The initi...
