zlib vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 21.10
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

zlib could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted input.

Software Description:
- zlib: Lossless data-compression library

Details:

performing certain deflating operations. An attacker could use this issue
to cause zlib to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
