 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:167
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/

 Package : gzip
 Date    : September 20, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
           Multi Network Firewall 2.0

 Problem Description:
 
 NULL Dereference (CVE-2006-4334)

 A stack modification vulnerability (where a stack buffer can be
 modified out of bounds, but not in the traditional stack overrun sense)
 exists in the LZH decompression support of gzip. (CVE-2006-4335)

 A .bss buffer underflow exists in gzip's pack support, where a loop
 from build_tree() does not enforce any lower bound while constructing
 the prefix table. (CVE-2006-4336)

 A .bss buffer overflow vulnerability exists in gzip's LZH support, due
 to it's inability to handle exceptional input in the make_table()
 function, a pathological decoding table can be constructed in such a
 way as to generate counts so high that the rapid growth of `nextcode`
 exceeds the size of the table[] buffer. (CVE-2006-4337)

 A possible infinite loop exists in code from unlzh.c for traversing the
 branches of a tree structure. This makes it possible to disrupt the
 operation of automated systems relying on gzip for data decompression,
 resulting in a minor DoS. (CVE-2006-4338)  Updated packages have been
 patched to address these issues.
