2010-01-29 CVE-2009-2624 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Gzip
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.

gnu CWE-20
6.8
2005-05-13 CVE-2005-0758 zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-0988 Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

2005-02-09 CVE-2004-0970 Insecure Temporary File Creation vulnerability in GNU Gzip 1.2.4A
The (1) gzexe, (2) zdiff, and (3) znew scripts in the gzip package, as used by other packages such as ncompress, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

2004-12-06 CVE-2004-0603 Unspecified vulnerability in GNU Gzip
gzexe in gzip 1.3.3 and earlier will execute an argument when the creation of a temp file fails instead of exiting the program, which could allow remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary commands, a different vulnerability than CVE-1999-1332.
