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 Härnhammar 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.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you

        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
