Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

An off-by-one error in Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::Bzip2
might lead to a Denial of Service.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::Bzip2 are Perl low-level
interfaces to the zlib and bzip2 compression libraries.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Leo Bergolth reported an off-by-one error in the inflate() function in
Zlib.xs of Compress::Raw::Zlib, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer
overflow (CVE-2009-1391).

Paul Marquess discovered a similar vulnerability in the bzinflate()
function in Bzip2.xs of Compress::Raw::Bzip2 (CVE-2009-1884).

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A remote attacker might entice a user or automated system (for instance
running SpamAssassin or AMaViS) to process specially crafted files,
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All Compress::Raw::Zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
    =3Dperl-core/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020


All Compress::Raw::Bzip2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
    =3Dperl-core/Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020
