Discussion

Zlib Compression Library Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Zlib is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate input data before using it in a memory copy operation.

In certain circumstances, malformed input data during decompression may cause a memory buffer to overflow. This may result in denial-of-service conditions or may allow remote code to execute in the context of applications that use the affected library.
