The gunzip decompressor of Busybox, tiny utilities for small and embedded systems, mishandled the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your busybox packages.
