|
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
|
|
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
|
|
following sections, please visit
|
|
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/security/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
zlib is a compression library used by numerous applications to provide
|
|
data compression/decompression routines.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
An error in the handling of corrupt compressed data streams can result
|
|
in a buffer being overflowed.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
By carefully crafting a corrupt compressed data stream, an attacker can
|
|
overwrite data structures in a zlib-using application. This may cause
|
|
the application to halt, causing a denial of service; or it may result
|
|
in the attacker gaining elevated privileges.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available.
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE, or to the RELENG_5_4 or
|
|
RELENG_5_3 security branch dated after the correction date.
|
|
|
|
2) To patch your present system:
|
|
|
|
The following patch has been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4
|
|
