New zlib packages are available for Debian GNU/Linux

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA 763-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone
July 20, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : zlib
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote DoS
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1849

Markus Oberhumer discovered a flaw in the way zlib, a library used for file compression and decompression, handles invalid input. This flaw can cause programs which use zlib to crash when opening an invalid file.

This problem does not affect the old stable distribution (woody).

For the current stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2-4.sarge.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your zlib package.



Upgrade instructions
---------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.


Debian 3.1 (stable)
--------------------

Stable was released for alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
