Description

A vulnerability in the BZ2_decompress function of bzip2 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive information, or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system. The vulnerability is due to an out-of-bounds write condition that exists in the BZ2_decompress function, as defined in the decompress.c source code file of the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a request that submits malicious input to the targeted system. A successful exploit could trigger an out-of-bounds write condition that the attacker could use to conduct further attacks.
