bzip2 Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The 'bzip2' utility is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability that arises when the application processes malformed archives.

A successful attack can exhaust system resources and trigger a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects bzip2 1.0.2; other versions are likely vulnerable as well.
