Description

Previous versions of the gzip package contain multiple vulnerabilities

that enable user-complicit unauthorized access when a user attempts to

gunzip intentionally malformed gzip files. Some network services will

automatically run the gunzip program in some contexts, which may then

enable direct unauthorized access to the user account that provides

the network service.
