NVD Description

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

The (1) gzexe, (2) zdiff, and (3) znew scripts in the gzip package, as used by other packages such as ncompress, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files. NOTE: the znew vulnerability may overlap CVE-2003-0367.
