CVE-2006-4338
Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team discovered several
vulnerabilities in gzip, the GNU compression utility. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:
CVE-2006-4334
A null pointer dereference may lead to denial of service if gzip
is used in an automated manner.
CVE-2006-4335
Missing boundary checks may lead to stack modification, allowing
execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-4336
A buffer underflow in the pack support code may lead to
execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-4337
A buffer underflow in the LZH support code may lead to execution
of arbitrary code.
CVE-2006-4338
An infinite loop may lead to denial of service if gzip is used
in an automated manner.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been
fixed in version 1.3.5-10sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been
fixed in version 1.3.5-15.
We recommend that you upgrade your gzip package.
