I don't have the time/skill to try, but I'm guessing that if you can somehow actually build the package with that set as the architecture, unpacking the .deb file will also be vulnerable, which would defintley be a security-related bug.
My guess is that it _does_ exist in the unpacking phase too, since the bug seems to be triggered in lib/dpkg/parsehelp.c. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389135 Title: dpkg / dpkg-deb segfault -- possible format string bug/vuln?
