+ <title>gzip: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ gzip contains multiple vulnerabilities potentially allowing an attacker to
+ execute arbitrary commands.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">gzip</product>

+ <bug>89946</bug>

+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="app-arch/gzip" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.3.5-r6</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.3.5-r6</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ gzip (GNU zip) is a popular compression program. The included
+ zgrep utility allows you to grep gzipped files in place.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The gzip and gunzip programs are vulnerable to a race condition
+ when setting file permissions (CAN-2005-0988), as well as improper
+ handling of filename restoration (CAN-2005-1228). The zgrep utility
+ improperly sanitizes arguments, which may come from an untrusted source
+ (CAN-2005-0758).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ These vulnerabilities could allow arbitrary command execution,
+ changing the permissions of arbitrary files, and installation of files
+ to an aribitrary location in the filesystem.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All gzip users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-arch/gzip-1.3.5-r6&quot;</code>
