    Package : ncompress
    Vulnerability : integer underflow
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-0001

    Aki Helin discovered an integer underflow in ncompress, the original
    Lempel-Ziv compress/uncompress programs.
    This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code when trying to decompress
    a crafted LZW compressed gzip archive.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.2.4.2-1+lenny1.

    For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution, this
    problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4.3-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your ncompress package.

    Upgrade instructions
