CVE-2010-0001 gzip: (64 bit) Integer underflow by decompressing LZW 
format files

An integer underflow flaw, leading to an array index error, was found in
the way gzip expanded archive files compressed with the Lempel-Ziv-Welch
(LZW) compression algorithm. If a victim expanded a specially-crafted
archive, it could cause gzip to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running gzip. This flaw only 
affects 64-bit systems. (CVE-2010-0001)
