Insight
The bzip2/bunzip2 utilities and the libbz2 library compress and decompress files using an algorithm based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. They are generally slower than Lempel-Ziv compressors such as gzip, but usually provide a greater compression ratio.
When decompressing data, the run-length encoded values are not adequately sanity-checked, allowing for an integer overflow.
