CVE-2005-0758  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 gzip to version 1.3.5-10 or higher.

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.

zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script.
