Fedora 27 Zziplib Security Update Critical: Memory Allocation Issues

The zziplib library is intentionally lightweight, it offers the ability to

easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file. Applications

can bundle files into a single zip archive and access them. The implementation

is based only on the (free) subset of compression with the zlib algorithm

which is actually used by the zip/unzip tools.
