Debian: New bzip2 packages fix file unauthorised permissions modification
by Patrick Lenz, in Security - Fri, May 27th 2005 10:52 UTC
Imran Ghory discovered a race condition in bzip2, a high-quality block-sorting file compressor and decompressor. When decompressing a file in a directory an attacker has access to, bunzip2 could be
tricked to set the file permissions to a different file the user has permissions to. Fixed packages are available from security.debian.org.
