Summary:	The remote host is missing an update to gzip;announced via advisory DSA 308-1.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update to gzip announced via advisory DSA 308-1. Vulnerability Insight: Paul Szabo discovered that znew, a script included in the gzip package, creates its temporary files without taking precautions to avoid a symlink attack (CVE-2003-0367). The gzexe script has a similar vulnerability which was patched in an earlier release but inadvertently reverted. For the stable distribution (woody) both problems have been fixed in version 1.3.2-3woody1. For the old stable distribution (potato) CVE-2003-0367 has been fixed in version 1.2.4-33.2. This version is not vulnerable to CVE-1999-1332 due to an earlier patch. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your gzip package. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
