DSA-1149-1 ncompress Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Tavis Ormandy from the Google Security Team discovered a missing boundary check in ncompress, the original Lempel-Ziv compress and uncompress programs, which permits a specially crafted datastream to underflow a buffer with attacker controlled data. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4-15sarge2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.4-15sarge2. We recommend that you upgrade your ncompress package.
