**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** ncompress versions 4.2.4 and earlier **Description** The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files using (1) zdiff or (2) zcmp. **Recommendations** For versions 4.2.4 and earlier, consider restricting access to the zdiff and zcmp functions until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the zdiff and zcmp functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
