Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : gzip (MDKSA-2006:027)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20832

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script.

This was previously corrected in MDKSA-2005:092, however the fix was incomplete. These updated packages provide a more comprehensive fix to the problem.

Solution

Update the affected gzip package.
