+ zlib is a widely used free and patent unencumbered data + compression library. +

+
+ +

+ zlib improperly handles invalid data streams which could lead to a + buffer overflow. +

+
+ +

+ By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers + can overwrite data structures for applications that use zlib, resulting + in arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All zlib users should upgrade to the latest version: +
