Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: gzip versions 1.2.4 through 1.3.5

Description: A directory traversal issue exists in the gunzip -N function of gzip, allowing remote attackers to write to arbitrary directories by including a .. (dot dot) in the original filename within a compressed file.

Recommendations: For versions 1.2.4 through 1.3.5, consider updating to a version that fixes this issue, as using the gunzip -N function with untrusted compressed files may lead to arbitrary directory writing. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
