gzip: arbitrary-file-write vulnerability

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...
