zlib: Denial of service vulnerability

Background zlib is a general-purpose data-compression library. Description zlib contains a bug in the handling of errors in the "inflate" and "inflateBack" functions. Impact An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a Denial of Service attack on any application using the zlib library...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : zlib (MDKSA-2002:022)

Matthias Clasen found a security issue in zlib that, when provided with certain input, causes zlib to free an area of memory twice. This 'double free' bug can be used to crash any programs that take untrusted compressed input, such as web browsers, email clients, image viewing software, etc. This...
