A vulnerability has been discovered in dpkg, which allows for directory
traversal.
Background
==========
Debian package management system.
Affected packages

Dpkg::Source::Archive in dpkg, the Debian package management system, is
prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. When extracting untrusted

debian.tar, the in-place extraction can lead to directory traversal
situations on specially crafted orig.tar and debian.tar tarballs.
