Detail
Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System, Solaris 8 Operating System A security vulnerability in the bzip2(1) command may allow a local unprivileged user to be able to read or modify files owned by another local user who invokes bzip2(1) to either compress or decompress files in a world writable directory. This could include system files if bzip2(1) is issued by a privileged user. [CVE-2005-0953] A second security vulnerability in the bzip2(1) command may allow arbitrarily large files to be created when decompressing specially crafted bzip2(1) archives which may exhaust disk space and could cause a Denial of service (DoS). [CVE-2005-1260] These issues are described in the following documents: CVE-2005-0953 at: CVE-2005-1260 at: Avoidance: Patch, Workaround State: Workaround First released: 16-Oct-2007 |

16767 | bzip2 Malformed Archive Decompression DoS bzip2 contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to the handling of malformed bzip2 archives. It is possible for a remote attacker to send a malformed archive, which will cause the application to go into an infinite loop and consume a large amount of disk space and CPU resources, resulting in a loss of availability. |
