CVE-2009-2624 medium priority: Debian including 1 source packages (gzip), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The huft_build function in inflate.c in gzip before 1.3.13 creates a hufts (aka huffman) table that is too small, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or infinite loop) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted archive. NOTE: this issue is caused by a CVE-2006-4334 regression.
