-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:019 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : gzip Date : January 20, 2010 Affected: Corporate 4.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A vulnerability has been found and corrected in 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 (CVE-2010-0001). The updated packages have been patched to correct thies issue. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0001 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 4.0: 5b8405131c7e6cee1ebd527877e1c126 corporate/4.0/i586/gzip-1.2.4a-15.4.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 1018f5b322c1fc0ec74771651475db2f corporate/4.0/SRPMS/gzip-1.2.4a-15.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm Corporate 4.0/X86_64: 6e581dca4d76c64ba34dff28254735a1 corporate/4.0/x86_64/gzip-1.2.4a-15.4.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 1018f5b322c1fc0ec74771651475db2f corporate/4.0/SRPMS/gzip-1.2.4a-15.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
