Original advisory details:

 Raphael Geissert discovered that uscan, a part of devscripts, did not
 properly sanitize its input when processing pathnames. If uscan processed a
 crafted filename for a file on a remote server, an attacker could execute
 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
