Great to see audits of widely used code!  Gzip next?

That vulnerability seems to require that zlib was built with
-DNO_vsnprintf -DNO_snprintf, targetting a system lacking 'snprintf'.

Does anyone know of a real-world environment using that configuration?

I don't see the applicability discussed in the report, and before
assigning a severity rating to this problem, I think it is relevant to
understand what environments really are affected.
