    Package : devscripts
    Vulnerability : arbitrary code execution
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2013-6888

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in uscan, a tool to scan
    upstream sits for new releases of packages, which is part of the
    devscripts package. An attacker controlling a website from which uscan
    would attempt to download a source tarball could execute arbitrary code
    with the privileges of the user running uscan.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project id CVE-2013-6888 has
    been assigned to identify them.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.12.6+deb7u2.

    For the testing distribution (jessie) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.13.9.

    We recommend that you upgrade your devscripts packages.
