The following package is affected: gzip CVE-2006-4334 Unspecified vulnerability in gzip 1.3.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted GZIP (gz) archive, which results in a NULL dereference. CVE-2006-4335 Array index error in the make_table function in unlzh.c in the LZH decompression component in gzip 1.3.5, when running on certain platforms, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GZIP archive that triggers an out-of-bounds write, aka a 'stack modification vulnerability.' CVE-2006-4336 Buffer underflow in the build_tree function in unpack.c in gzip 1.3.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted leaf count table that causes a write to a negative index. CVE-2006-4337 Buffer overflow in the make_table function in the LHZ component in gzip 1.3.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted decoding table in a GZIP archive. CVE-2006-4338 unlzh.c in the LHZ component in gzip 1.3.5 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted GZIP archive.
