+Description:
+ According to a Debian bug report [0], Ulf Harnhammar discovered
+ an input validation error in the gzip data compressor [1]. Because
+ gzip(1) fails to properly validate file paths during decompression
+ with the '-N' argument, a remote attacker using a malicious archive
+ could corrupt arbitrary files with the privileges of the user that
+ is running gzip(1). The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
+ project assigned the identifier CAN-2005-1228 [2] to this problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
+ rpm -q bzip2". If you have the "bzip2" package installed and its
+ version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
+ upgrade it (see Solution) and any dependent packages as well [3][4].
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary
+ RPM from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.3, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.3/UPD
+ ftp> get gzip-1.3.5-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig gzip-1.3.5-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild gzip-1.3.5-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/gzip-1.3.5-2.3.1.*.rpm
+
+ We recommend that you rebuild and reinstall any dependent packages
+ (see above) as well [3][4]. The openpkg build tool can be instrumental
+ in consistently updating and securing the entire OpenPKG instance.
