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
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in gzip:
A missing input sanitation flaw was found in the way gzip used to
decompress data blocks for dynamic Huffman codes. A remote attacker
could provide a specially-crafted gzip compressed data archive,
which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to denial
of service (gzip crash) or, potentially, to arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the user running gzip (CVE-2009-2624).
