+ <section name="Reporting New Security Problems with Apache Commons
Compress">
+ <p>The Apache Software Foundation takes a very active stance
+ in eliminating security problems and denial of service attacks
+ against its products.</p>
+
+ <p>We strongly encourage folks to report such problems to our
+ private security mailing list first, before disclosing them in
+ a public forum.</p>
+
+ <p>Please note that the security mailing list should only be
+ used for reporting undisclosed security vulnerabilities and
+ managing the process of fixing such vulnerabilities. We cannot
+ accept regular bug reports or other queries at this
+ address. All mail sent to this address that does not relate to
+ an undisclosed security problem in our source code will be
+ ignored.</p>
+
+ <p>If you need to report a bug that isn't an undisclosed
+ security vulnerability, please use the <a
+ href="issue-tracking.html">bug reporting page</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Questions about:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>if a vulnerability applies to your particular application</li>
+ <li>obtaining further information on a published vulnerability</li>
+ <li>availability of patches and/or new releases</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>should be addressed to the users mailing list. Please see
+ the <a href="mail-lists.html">mailing lists page</a> for
+ details of how to subscribe.</p>

+ <section name="Apache Commons Compress Security Vulnerabilities">
+ <p>This page lists all security vulnerabilities fixed in
+ released versions of Apache Commons Compress. Each
+ vulnerability is given a security impact rating by the
+ development team - please note that this rating may vary from
+ platform to platform. We also list the versions of Commons
+ Compress the flaw is known to affect, and where a flaw has not
+ been verified list the version with a question mark.</p>
+
+ <p>Please note that binary patches are never provided. If you
+ need to apply a source code patch, use the building
+ instructions for the Commons Compress version that you are
+ using.</p>
+
+ <p>If you need help on building Commons Compress or other help
+ on following the instructions to mitigate the known
+ vulnerabilities listed here, please send your questions to the
+ public <a href="mail-lists.html">Compress Users mailing
+ list</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>If you have encountered an unlisted security vulnerability
+ or other unexpected behaviour that has security impact, or if

+
+ <p>The bzip2 compressing streams in Apache Commons Compress
+ internally use sorting algorithms with unacceptable
+ worst-case performance on very repetitive inputs. A
+ specially crafted input to Compress'
+ <code>BZip2CompressorOutputStream</code> can be used to make

+ available processing time effectively leading to a denial of
