| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in dpkg. When unpacking source packages formatted with quilt, the packaging archive can include a quilt metadata directory containing attacker-controlled symbolic links (symlinks). If a patch within the package fails to apply, the cleanup and file restoration routines follow these symlinks outside the intended target directory. An attacker who convinces a user or automated build system to unpack a specially crafted source package can exploit this flaw to modify or delete arbitrary files on the host system.
