Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-05:14.bzip2.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:14.bzip2.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:14.bzip2.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
bzip2 is a block-sorting file compression utility.

Two problems have been discovered relating to the extraction of
bzip2-compressed files. First, a carefully constructed invalid bzip2
archive can cause bzip2 to enter an infinite loop. Second, when
creating a new file, bzip2 closes the file before setting its
permissions.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
