Debian: New afuse packages fix privilege escalation
LinuxSecurity.com: Anders Kaseorg discovered that afuse, an automounting file system in user-space, did not properly escape meta characters in paths. This allowed a local attacker with read access to the filesystem to execute commands as the owner of the filesystem.

dpigs

DPIGS(1)						   Debian-goodies documentation 						  DPIGS(1)

NAME

       dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space

SYNOPSIS

       dpigs [options]

DESCRIPTION

       dpigs sorts the installed packages by size and outputs the largest ones. Per default dpigs displays the largest 10 packages. You can change
       this value by using the -n option (see "OPTIONS"). The information is taken from the dpkg status file with grep-status(1).

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Display some usage information and exit.

       -n, --lines=N
	   Display the N largest packages on the system (default 10).

       -s, --status=FILE
	   Use FILE instead of the default dpkg status file (which is /var/lib/dpkg/status currently).

       -S, --source
	   Display the largest source packages of binary packages installed on the system.
