The CVS security ID is CAN-2004-0797. The fix is same as used by OpenBSD, Debian and Gentoo. (Didn't see any reference to issue on zlib webpages.) The OpenBSD announcement "zlib reliabilty fix" says: "could allow an attacker to crash programs linked with it." And the Gentoo announcement says "zlib contains a bug in the handling of errors in the inflate() and inflateBack() functions. ... An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a Denial of Service attack on any application using the zlib library." PKGREVISION is bumped and BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.zlib added to buildlink3.mk file. |
