As I mentioned in IRC: I can probably easily shave another 2½K off .text by removing stub support for multiple compressors and using the gzopen() API already shipped by klibc.
Note that klibc bundles zlib 1.2.3 whereas even MirBSD has 1.2.8 already. That would also need updating. But at least, MirBSD compress uses zlib for gzip I/O instead of bundling its own inflate/deflate functions as GNU gzip does. All is 2-clause and 3-clause BSD and MIT licence. ** Also affects: klibc Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to klibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358762 Title: Included gzip 1.2.4 has several vulnerabilities Status in klibc: New Status in “klibc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The included gzip version is quite old (version 1.2.4) and has several security vulnerabilities. Check http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search- results?adv_search=true&cves=on&cpe_version=cpe:/a:gnu:gzip:1.2.4 for example. I explicitly checked for CVE-2001-1228, which was not fixed by a patch in the klibc package, so I assume the other vulnerabilities are not fixed either. I think it would be a good idea to update the included gzip to a current version.
