What is CVE-2009-2624?

The huft_build function in inflate.c of Gzip versions prior to 1.3.13 has a flaw that leads to the creation of an inadequately sized Huffman table. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers who craft malicious archive files, potentially resulting in application crashes or infinite loops. Moreover, there exists a risk of arbitrary code execution as a consequence of this flawed implementation, which is also linked to a regression from a previous vulnerability (CVE-2006-4334).
