Even though GOBBLES claims to have developed an exploit to take advantage of this bug, it has been said by others that this problem is not likely to be exploitable as other security incidents. Additionally, the Debian version of gzip from the stable release does not segfault, and hence does not directly inherit this problem. However, better be safe than sorry, so we have prepared an update for you. Please make sure you are running an up-to-date version from stable/unstable/testing with at least version 1.2.4-33. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
