[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: bzip2-1.0.3-1, libbz2_1-1.0.3-1

[Charles Wilson]

bzip2 provides the bzip2.exe / bunzip2.exe executables, a 
patent-unencumbered but highly effective compression tool.

CHANGES:

Routine update to upstream version 1.0.3

Addresses security issue CAN-2005-1260 "bzip2 allows remote attackers to 
cause a denial of service (hard drive consumption) via a crafted bzip2 
file that causes an infinite loop (a.k.a "decompression bomb")."

Addresses security issue CAN-2005-0953 "Race condition in bzip2 1.0.2 
and earlier allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files 
via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose 
permissions are changed by bzip2 after the decompression is complete."
