Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2005:474 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Low: bzip2 security update 2005-06-16 04:00:00 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2005-04-22 17:47:27 UTC 
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.
