dpkg Directory-Traversal Vulnerabilities
dpkg is prone to multiple directory-traversal vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting these issues will allow local attackers to modify files outside the destination directory and possibly gain access to the system.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before being used.
