The previous zlib update for CAN-2005-2096 fixed a flaw in zlib that could allow a carefully crafted compressed stream to crash an application. While the original patch corrected the reported overflow, Markus Oberhumer discovered additional ways a stream could trigger an overflow. This update fixes those problems as well. This issue is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2005-1849. Since only zlib 1.2.x is affected, older SUSE products are not affected by this problem.

Solution

There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
