USN-2183-1 fixed a vulnerability in dpkg. Javier Serrano Polo discovered
that the fix introduced a vulnerability in releases with an older version
of the patch utility. This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Jakub Wilk discovered that dpkg incorrectly certain paths and symlinks when
unpacking source 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.
