It was discovered that the Compress::Raw::Zlib Perl module incorrectly handled certain zlib compressed streams. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted compressed stream or file, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
