Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2005:973 (gzip)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2005:973. The installed version of gzip contains several vulnerabilities. A race condition vulnerability when decompressing a gzip file allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete. A directory traversal vulnerability[3] via 'gunzip -N' allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary directories via a '..' (dot dot) in the original filename within a compressed file. Solution: Upgrade your software. http://www.gzip.org http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=000974 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
