gzip: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200505-05 (gzip: Multiple vulnerabilities) The gzip and gunzip programs are vulnerable to a race condition when setting file permissions (CVE-2005-0988), as well as improper handling of filename restoration (CVE-2005-1228). The zgrep utility improperly sanitizes arguments, which may come from an untrusted source (CVE-2005-0758). Impact These vulnerabilities could permit arbitrary command execution, changing the permissions of arbitrary files, and installation of files to an aribitrary location in the filesystem. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
