Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'dpkg' package(s) announced via the USN-1038-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Jakub Wilk and Raphael Hertzog discovered that dpkg-source did not correctly handle certain paths and symlinks when unpacking source-format version 3.0 packages. If a user or an automated system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted source package, a remote attacker could modify files outside the target unpack directory, leading to a denial of service or potentially gaining access to the system. Affected Software/OS: 'dpkg' package(s) on Ubuntu 9.10, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
