For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

I.   Background

The compress utility reduces the size of files using adaptive Lempel-Ziv
coding, or LZW coding, a lossless data compression algorithm.

Both compress(1) and gzip(1) uses code derived from 4.3BSD compress(1).

II.  Problem Description

The code used to decompress a file created by compress(1) does not do
sufficient boundary checks on compressed code words, allowing reference
beyond the decompression table, which may result in a stack overflow or
an infinite loop when the decompressor encounters a corrupted file.

III. Impact

An attacker who can cause a corrupt archive of his choice to be parsed
by uncompress(1) or gunzip(1), can cause these utilities to enter an
infinite loop, to core dump, or possibly to execute arbitrary code
provided by the attacker.

IV.  Workaround

No workaround is available, but systems not handling adaptive Lempel-Ziv
compressed files (.Z) from untrusted source are not vulnerable.

V.   Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 7-STABLE or 8-STABLE, or to
the RELENG_8_2, RELENG_8_1, RELENG_7_4, or RELENG_7_3 security
branch dated after the correction date.

2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:

The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 7.4, 7.3,
8.2 and 8.1 systems.

a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-11:04/compress.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-11:04/compress.patch.asc

b) Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/compress
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/gzip
# make obj && make depend && make && make install

3) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:

Systems running 7.4-RELEASE, 7.3-RELEASE, 8.2-RELEASE, or 8.1-RELEASE on
the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8)
utility:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
