Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68104
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-10:08.bzip2.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-10:08.bzip2.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-10:08.bzip2.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The bzip2/bunzip2 utilities and the libbz2 library compress and decompress
files using an algorithm based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. They are
generally slower than Lempel-Ziv compressors such as gzip, but usually
provide a greater compression ratio.

When decompressing data, the run-length encoded values are not adequately
sanity-checked, allowing for an integer overflow.

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

CVSS Score:
5.1

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
