The huft_build function in inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux
kernel before 2.6.12.5 returns the wrong value, which allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a certain
compressed file that leads to a null pointer dereference, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2005-2458.
