Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
An off-by-one error in Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::Bzip2
might lead to a Denial of Service.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::Bzip2 are Perl low-level
interfaces to the zlib and bzip2 compression libraries.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 perl-core/Compress-Raw-Zlib < 2.020 >=3D 2.020
2 perl-core/Compress-Raw-Bzip2 < 2.020 >=3D 2.020
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Leo Bergolth reported an off-by-one error in the inflate() function in
Zlib.xs of Compress::Raw::Zlib, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer
overflow (CVE-2009-1391).
Paul Marquess discovered a similar vulnerability in the bzinflate()
function in Bzip2.xs of Compress::Raw::Bzip2 (CVE-2009-1884).
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker might entice a user or automated system (for instance
running SpamAssassin or AMaViS) to process specially crafted files,
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Compress::Raw::Zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
=3Dperl-core/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020
All Compress::Raw::Bzip2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
=3Dperl-core/Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020
