CVE-2014-3127

dpkg 1.15.9 on Debian squeeze introduces support for the “C-style encoded
filenames” feature without recognizing that the squeeze patch program lacks
this feature, which triggers an interaction error that allows remote
attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and modify files outside
of the intended directories via a crafted source package. NOTE: this can
be considered a release engineering problem in the effort to fix
CVE-2014-0471.
