The following Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project ids have been
assigned to identify them:

CVE-2012-0210:

    arbitrary code and disclose system information.

    Raphael Geissert discovered that it is possible to inject or modify
    arguments of external commands when processing source packages with
    specially-named tarballs in the top-level directory of the .orig
