"A race condition in the file permission restore code of bunzip2 was
discovered by Imran Ghory. While a user was decompressing a file, a
local attacker with write permissions to the directory containing the
compressed file could replace the target file with a hard link which
would cause bunzip2 to restore the file permissions of the original
file to the hard link target. This could be exploited to gain read or
write access to files of other users (CVE-2005-0953).

A vulnerability was found where specially crafted bzip2 archives would
cause an infinite loop in the decompressor, resulting in an
indefinitively large output file (also known as a 'decompression
bomb'). This could be exploited to cause a Denial of Service attack on
the host computer due to disk space exhaustion (CVE-2005-1260).

The provided packages have been patched to correct these issues."

"Problem Description Two problems have been discovered relating to the
extraction of bzip2-compressed files. First, a carefully constructed
invalid bzip2 archive can cause bzip2 to enter an infinite loop.
Second, when creating a new file, bzip2 closes the file before setting
its permissions. Impact The first problem can cause bzip2 to extract a
bzip2 archive to an infinitely large file. If bzip2 is used in
automated processing of untrusted files this could be exploited by an
attacker to create an denial-of-service situation by exhausting disk
space or by consuming all available cpu time.

The second problem can allow a local attacker to change the
permissions of local files owned by the user executing bzip2 providing
that they have write access to the directory in which the file is
being extracted. Workaround Do not uncompress bzip2 archives from
untrusted sources and do not uncompress files in directories where
untrusted users have write access."
