Detail
| 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. |
