Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::Bzip2 are Perl low-level
interfaces to the zlib and bzip2 compression libraries.

<description>
<p>
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).
</p>
<p>
Paul Marquess discovered a similar vulnerability in the bzinflate()
function in Bzip2.xs of Compress::Raw::Bzip2 (CVE-2009-1884).
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Compress::Raw::Zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=perl-core/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020"</code>
<p>
All Compress::Raw::Bzip2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=perl-core/Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020"</code>
