NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl package and not the libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Off-by-one error in the bzinflate function in Bzip2.xs in the Compress-Raw-Bzip2 module before 2.018 for Perl allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang or crash) via a crafted bzip2 compressed stream that triggers a buffer overflow, a related issue to CVE-2009-1391.
