Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200408-26.

Vulnerability Insight:
The zlib library contains a Denial of Service vulnerability.

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

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3'
# emerge '>=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3'

You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend on
older versions of zlib :

# revdep-rebuild

Please note that any packages which have the zlib library compiled
statically will not show up using revdep-rebuild. You will need to locate
those packages manually and then remerge them.
