GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200303-25
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : zlib
SUMMARY : buffer overrun
DATE : 2003-03-28 10:50 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <1.1.4-r1
FIXED VERSION : >=1.1.4-r1
CVE : CAN-2003-0107
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- From advisory:
"zlib contains a function called gzprintf(). This is similar in
behaviour to fprintf() except that by default, this function will
smash the stack if called with arguments that expand to more than
Z_PRINTF_BUFSIZE (=4096 by default) bytes."

sys-libs/zlib upgrade to zlib-1.1.4-r1 as follows:
emerge sync
emerge zlib
emerge clean
