Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in minigzip

The 'minigzip' tool is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.

Mitigation:

Apply the vendor-supplied patch or upgrade to a non-vulnerable version.
