[cobalt-security] zlib - new security problem

["marcus miller" <cobalt_security_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have tried searching the cobalt user archives and can find no reference to 
this problem. ( there is a post that comes up but it seems to be some kind 
of flame! )

There is a new(ish) possible security hole relating to all packages that use 
zlib.

As to not spam this board the full details can be found here:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/JPLA-57DKCV

I would like to know if any of you are......
a) aware of this
b) concerned by this
c) aware of a fix

I was recently made painfully aware of the errors of not keeping fully 
up-to-date with the latest security measures so I would appreciate any 
replies.

Thanks in advance

Marcus Miller
