    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in debdiff, a script used

    The following Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project ids have been assigned to identify them:

    CVE-2012-0210:

    Paul Wise discovered that due to insufficient input sanitising when
    processing .dsc and .changes files, it is possible to execute
    arbitrary code and disclose system information.

    CVE-2012-0211:

    Raphael Geissert discovered that it is possible to inject or modify
    arguments of external commands when processing source packages with
    specially-named tarballs in the top-level directory of the .orig
    tarball, allowing arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2012-0212:

    Raphael Geissert discovered that it is possible to inject or modify
    arguments of external commands when passing as argument to debdiff
    a specially-named file, allowing arbitrary code execution.


    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.69+squeeze2.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed in
    version 2.11.4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your devscripts packages.
