SUMMARY : buffer overrun
DATE : 2003-03-28 10:50 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote
VERSIONS AFFECTED : <1.1.4-r1

- From advisory:

behaviour to fprintf() except that by default, this function will
smash the stack if called with arguments that expand to more than
Z_PRINTF_BUFSIZE (=4096 by default) bytes."

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
sys-libs/zlib upgrade to zlib-1.1.4-r1 as follows:
emerge sync
emerge zlib
emerge clean
