Debian 10232 Published by

Another busybox update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 8 LTS to address a regression introduced by the previous update



Package : busybox
Version : 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u3

The security update of busybox announced as DLA-1445-1 introduced a
regression due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-9261. It was no
longer possible to decompress gzip archives which exceeded a certain
file size.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1:1.22.0-9+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your busybox packages.
