Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification
FEDORALEGACY-2005-157696
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157696

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : gzip
Versions    : rh73: gzip-1.3.3-1.1.legacy
Versions    : rh9: gzip-1.3.3-9.1.legacy
Versions    : fc1: gzip-1.3.3-11.1.legacy
Versions    : fc2: gzip-1.3.3-12.1.legacy
Summary     : The GNU data compression program.
Description :
The gzip package contains the popular GNU gzip data compression
program. Gzipped files have a .gz extension.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

An updated gzip package is now available.

The gzip package contains the GNU gzip data compression program.

A bug was found in the way zgrep processes file names. If a user can be
tricked into running zgrep on a file with a carefully crafted file name,
arbitrary commands could be executed as the user running zgrep. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-0758 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way gunzip modifies permissions of files being
decompressed. A local attacker with write permissions in the directory
in which a victim is decompressing a file could remove the file being
written and replace it with a hard link to a different file owned by the
victim, gunzip then gives the linked file the permissions of the
uncompressed file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0988 to this issue.

A directory traversal bug was found in the way gunzip processes the -N
flag. If a victim decompresses a file with the -N flag, gunzip fails to
sanitize the path which could result in a file owned by the victim being
overwritten. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1228 to this issue.

Users of gzip should upgrade to this updated package, which contains
backported patches to correct these issues.
