Package : gzip Vulnerability : several Problem type : local (remote) Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CVE-2009-2624 CVE-2010-0001 Debian Bug : 507263

Several vulnerabilities have been found in gzip, the GNU compression utilities. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-2624 Thiemo Nagel discovered a missing input sanitation flaw in the way gzip used to decompress data blocks for dynamic Huffman codes, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code when trying to decompress a crafted archive. This issue is a reappearance of CVE-2006-4334 and only affects the lenny version.

CVE-2010-0001 Aki Helin discovered an integer underflow when decompressing files that are compressed using the LZW algorithm. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code when trying to decompress a crafted LZW compressed gzip archive.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.12-6+lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.5-15+etch1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your gzip packages.

Upgrade instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below:

apt-get update

        will update the internal database apt-get upgrade

        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
