Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: important

When the -c option is used to launch a process with reduced privileges the
setsid() system call should be used to prevent ioctl(fd, TIOCSTI, &c) being
used to push characters in to the sys-admin terminal input buffer.

setsid() is currently called when the -b option is used, I believe that this
needs to be extended to support all uses of -c.
