The gunzip decompressor of Busybox, tiny utilities for small and embedded systems, mishandled the error bit on the huft_build result pointer, with a resultant invalid free or segmentation fault, via malformed gzip data.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.22.0-19+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your busybox packages.

For the detailed security status of busybox please refer to its security tracker page at:
