An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the lzo library decompressed
certain archives compressed with the LZO algorithm. An attacker could
create a specially crafted LZO-compressed input that, when decompressed by
an application using the lzo library, would cause that application to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-4607)

Red Hat would like to thank Don A. Bailey from Lab Mouse Security for
reporting this issue.

All lzo users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take
effect, all services linked to the lzo library must be restarted or the
system rebooted.");
