tag_insight = "A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ncompress:

  An integer underflow leading to array index error was found in the
  way gzip used to decompress files / archives, compressed with the
  Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm. A remote attacker could
  provide a specially-crafted LZW compressed gzip archive, which once
  decompressed by a local, unsuspecting user would lead to gzip crash,
  or, potentially to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of
  the user running gzip (CVE-2010-0001).

  is not vulnerable to this issue.";
