MDKSA-2005:092: gzip |

Check for the version of the gzip package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:092 (gzip). Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the gzip package: Zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which permits local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script. (CVE-2005-0758) A race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier when decompressing a gzip file permits local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete. (CVE-2005-0988) A directory traversal vulnerability via 'gunzip -N' in gzip 1.2.4 through 1.3.5 permits remote attackers to write to arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in the original filename within a compressed file. (CVE-2005-1228) Updated packages are patched to address these issues.
