Debian Security Advisory DSA 752-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
July 11th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : gzip
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0988 CAN-2005-1228
Debian Bug : 305255
Two problems have been discovered in gzip, the GNU compression
utility. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems.
CAN-2005-0988
Imran Ghory discovered a race condition in the permissions setting
code in gzip. When decompressing a file in a directory an
attacker has access to, gunzip could be tricked to set the file
permissions to a different file the user has permissions to.
CAN-2005-1228
Ulf H舐nhammar discovered a path traversal vulnerability in
gunzip. When gunzip is used with the -N option an attacker could
this vulnerability to create files in an arbitrary directory with
the permissions of the user.
For the oldstable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.2-3woody5.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.5-10.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.5-10.
We recommend that you upgrade your gzip package.
