Background

BusyBox is a set of tools for embedded systems and is a replacement for GNU Coreutils.

Description

It was discovered that BusyBox mishandled the error bit on the huft_build result pointer when decompressing GZIP compressed data.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted GZIP file using BusyBox, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All BusyBox users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/busybox-1.32.1"
