Descriptions

Off-by-one error in the inflate function in Zlib.xs in Compress::Raw::Zlib Perl module before 2.017, as used in AMaViS, SpamAssassin, and possibly other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (hang or crash) via a crafted zlib compressed stream that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, as exploited in the wild by Trojan.Downloader-71014 in June 2009.

Error de superación de límite (Off-by-one) en la función "inflate" en Zlib.xs en el modulo de Perl Compress::Raw::Zlib anteriores a v2.017, cuando es utilizado en AMaVis, SpamAssassin, y posiblemente otros productos, permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto, producir una denegación de servicio (cuelgue o caída) a través de un stream comprimido zlib manipulado que inicia un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria libre, como se explot activamente por Trojan.Downloader-71014 en Junio de 2009.
