It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain malformed gzip
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted gzip archive, a remote attacker could use this issue to
cause BusyBox to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

possibly use this issue to cause BusyBox to crash, resulting in a denial
of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-48174)
