TITLE:
Perl Compress::Raw::Zlib Module Off-by-One Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35422

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35422/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Compress::Raw::Zlib module
for Perl, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service) or to potentially compromise an application using
the module.

The vulnerability is caused due to an off-by-one error within the
"inflate()" function in Zlib.xs. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow with a zero byte when specially crafted
compressed data is processed.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.017.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.017 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by Leo Bergolth in a Red Hat bug report.
