Ubuntu Security Notice 986-3 – USN-986-1 fixed vulnerabilities in bzip2. dpkg statically links against libbz2 and needed to be rebuilt to use the updated libbz2. An integer overflow was discovered in bzip2. If a user or automated system were tricked into decompressing a crafted bz2 file, an attacker could cause bzip2 or any application linked against libbz2 to crash or possibly execute code as the user running the program.
