Subject: Stack overflows and out of bounds read in dpkg (Debian)
https://blog.fuzzing-project.org/30-Stack-overflows-and-out-of-bounds-read-in-dpkg-Debian.html
Two stack overflows and one stack out of bounds access were fixed in
dpkg, the package management tool from Debian.
A call to the function read_line didn't consider a trailing zero byte
in the target buffer and thus could cause a one byte stack overflow
with a zero byte. This issue was already fixed in the testing code when
I reported it, but the fix wasn't backported to stable yet.

A second almost identical stack overflow due to a call to the function
read_line was in the same file.

These issues got the id CVE-2015-0860.
A stack out of bounds read can happen in the function
dpkg_ar_normalize_name. There is a read access to an array where the
index can have the value -1. A check if the index is a positive value
fixes this.

All issues were found with the help of american fuzzy lop and address
