Summary: CAN-2005-1849 zlib buffer overflows (CAN-2005-2096)
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: fc4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: security
          Priority: normal
         Component: perl-Compress-Zlib
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

perl-Compress-Zlib contains an internal version of the zlib source.  A number of
buffer overflow issues have been recently fixed in zlib.

See bug 163037 and bug 162391 for more information.

Ideally, we should build perl-Compress-Zlib to use the system zlib to avoid
having to rebuild it in the future.
