3. Description:
Bzip2 is a freely available, high-quality data compressor. It provides both
stand-alone compression and decompression utilities, as well as a shared
library for use with other programs.
A buffer over-read flaw was discovered in the bzip2 decompression routine.
This issue could cause an application linked against the libbz2 library to
crash when decompressing malformed archives. (CVE-2008-1372)
Users of bzip2 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
