Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-020 - 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. An integer underflow leading to array index error was found in the way gzip used to decompress files / archives, compressed with the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted LZW compressed gzip archive, which once decompressed by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to gzip crash, or, potentially to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running gzip. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Package : gzip
Date : January 20, 2010
Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

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).

An integer underflow leading to array index error was found in the
way gzip used to decompress files / archives, compressed with the
Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm. A remote attacker could
provide a specially-crafted LZW compressed gzip archive, which once
decompressed by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to gzip crash,
or, potentially to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of
the user running gzip (CVE-2010-0001).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
