Fedora 10 Update: perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020-1.fc10
Summary
This module provides a Perl interface to the bzip2 compression library.
It is used by IO::Compress::Bzip2.
Update Information:
Off-by-one error in the bzinflate function in Bzip2.xs in the Compress-Raw- Bzip2 module before 2.018 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or crash) via a crafted bzip2 compressed stream that triggers a buffer overflow, a related issue to CVE-2009-1391.
