The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200908-07 (Perl Compress::Raw modules: Denial of Service)
Leo Bergolth reported an off-by-one error in the inflate() function in Zlib.xs of Compress::Raw::Zlib, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1391).
Paul Marquess discovered a similar vulnerability in the bzinflate() function in Bzip2.xs of Compress::Raw::Bzip2 (CVE-2009-1884).
Impact :
A remote attacker might entice a user or automated system (for instance running SpamAssassin or AMaViS) to process specially crafted files, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
