    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.
