MDKSA-2005:124: zlib |

Check for the version of the zlib package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:124 (zlib). A previous zlib update (MDKSA-2005:112 CVE-2005-2096) fixed an overflow flaw in the zlib program. While that update did indeed fix the reported overflow issue, Markus Oberhumber discovered additional ways that a specially-crafted compressed stream could trigger an overflow. A possible hacker could create such a stream that would cause a linked application to crash if opened by a user. The updated packages are provided to protect against this flaw. The Corporate Server 2.1 product is not affected by this vulnerability.
