zgrep applied to a crafted file name with two or more newlines can no longer overwrite an arbitrary, attacker-selected file

Summary

The gzip package contains the popular GNU gzip data compression

program. Gzipped files have a .gz extension.

Gzip should be installed on your system, because it is a

very commonly used data compression program.

zgrep applied to a crafted file name with two or more newlines can no longer

overwrite an arbitrary, attacker-selected file. reproducer: $ touch

foo.gz $ echo foo | gzip > "$(printf '|\n;e touch pwned\n#.gz')" $

zgrep foo *.gz (the unfixed version of zgrep creates the file called pwned)
