- GOBBLES found a buffer overflow in gzip that occurs when compressing
- files with really long filenames. Even though GOBBLES claims to have
- developed an exploit to take advantage of this bug, it has been said
- by others that this problem is not likely to be exploitable as other
- security incidents.
- Additionally, the Debian version of gzip from the stable release does
- not segfault, and hence does not directly inherit this problem.
- However, better be safe than sorry, so we have prepared an update for
- you.
- Please make sure you are running an up-to-date version from
- stable/unstable/testing with at least version 1.2.4-33.
