Slackware 10.0/10.1 Update 2005-189-01 Moderate: Zlib DoS Threat

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/zlib-1.2.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched an overflow in zlib that could cause applications using zlib to crash. The overflow does not involve user supplied data, and therefore does not allow the execution of arbitrary code. However, it could still be used by a remote attacker to create a denial of service. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2005-2096 (* Security fix *)
