Vulnerability Insight:
zlib is a compression library used by numerous applications to provide
data compression/decompression routines.

A fixed-size buffer is used in the decompression of data streams. Due
to erroneous analysis performed when zlib was written, this buffer,
which was believed to be sufficiently large to handle any possible input
stream, is in fact too small.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
