Description

zgrep in gzip before 1.3.5 does not properly sanitize arguments, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via filenames that are injected into a sed script.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 1.3.5
Affected range stops below 1.3.5, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
