"The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5122
advisory.
- An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the
attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content
to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing
filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in
crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write
arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2022-1271)
