Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-741-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bzip2' package(s) announced via the DSA-741-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'bzip2' package(s) announced via the DSA-741-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Chris Evans discovered that a specially crafted archive can trigger an infinite loop in bzip2, a high-quality block-sorting file compressor. During uncompression this results in an indefinitely growing output file which will finally fill up the disk. On systems that automatically decompress bzip2 archives this can cause a denial of service. For the oldstable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-1.woody5. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-7. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-7. We recommend that you upgrade your bzip2 package. Affected Software/OS: 'bzip2' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
