| Summary: | Ubuntu USN-891-1 (lintian) |
| Description: | The remote host is missing an update to lintian announced via advisory USN-891-1. Details follow: It was discovered that lintian did not correctly validate certain filenames when processing input. If a user or an automated system were tricked into running lintian on a specially crafted set of files, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
