SCO Security Advisory

Subject: UnixWare 7.1.4 : Gzip Multiple Vulnerabilities
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.58
Issue date: 2005 December 16
Cross reference: sr894862 erg712915 fz532919
CVE-2005-0758 CVE-2005-0988 CVE-2005-1228
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

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

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-0758 to this issue.

Race condition in gzip, when decompressing a gzipped 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.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-0988 to this issue.

Directory traversal vulnerability in gunzip -N allows remote
attackers to write to arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot)
in the original filename within a compressed file.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2005-1228 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
