+Description:
+ Triggered by Debian bug report [1], a denial of service vulnerability
+ was found in the ZLib compression library [0] versions 1.2.x
+ (older versions are not affected). The problem is an incorrect
+ error handling in the inflate() and inflateBack() functions. The
+ Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
+ CAN-2004-0797 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
+ rpm -q zlib". If you have the "zlib" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
+ (see Solution) and its dependent packages (see above), too [3][4].
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.1, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.1/UPD
+ ftp> get zlib-1.2.1-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig zlib-1.2.1-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild zlib-1.2.1-2.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/zlib-1.2.1-2.1.1.*.rpm
+
+ Additionally, you have to rebuild and reinstall at least all dependent
+ packages (see above), if they are installed in your OpenPKG instance.
+ Just updating the "zlib" package is NOT sufficient because all
+ executables in dependent packages have to be relinked against the
+ fixed static library "libz.a". Because of transitive dependencies and
+ the fact that "zlib" is used by lots of libraries and programs, the
+ ultimate safest way is to just rebuild all packages in your OpenPKG
+ instance.
