Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 8.10 Ubuntu 9.04 Ubuntu 9.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Ubuntu 8.10: Ubuntu 9.04: Ubuntu 9.10: In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that gzip incorrectly handled certain malformed compressed files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted gzip file, an attacker could cause gzip to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-2624) Aki Helin discovered that gzip incorrectly handled certain malformed files compressed with the Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) algorithm. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted gzip file, an attacker could cause gzip to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-0001) |

| Title: | Integer underflow in the unlzw function in unlzw.c in gzip before 1.4 on 64-bit platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive that uses LZW compression, leading to an array index error. | ||
| Description: | Integer underflow in the unlzw function in unlzw.c in gzip before 1.4 on 64-bit platforms, as used in ncompress and probably others, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive that uses LZW compression, leading to an array index error. | ||

| Title: | DSA-2074-1 ncompress -- integer underflow | ||
| Description: | Aki Helin discovered an integer underflow in ncompress, the original Lempel-Ziv compress/uncompress programs. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code when trying to decompress a crafted LZW compressed gzip archive. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4.2-1+lenny1. For the testing and unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ncompress package. | ||
