NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bzip2 package and not the bzip2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Race condition in bzip2 1.0.2 and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by bzip2 after the decompression is complete.
