Devscripts Devel Team DevscriptsCode Injection

Risk 48
Severity
6.8
Code Injection
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

A flaw was reported in the uscan script of devscripts:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=731849

From that bug report:

"" The newfangled debian/copyright-driven repacking can be exploited by malicious upstream to execute arbitrary code. ""

The fix:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/devscripts.git;a=commitdiff;h=91f05b5

devscripts is not included in Fedora 18 or 19. It looks to be part of rawhide/the upcoming Fedora 20.

Although some Debian stuff is bundled in the rpmdevtools package, uscan does not appear to be.
