The Compress::Zlib is a Perl module which provides an interface to
the zlib compression library.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Compress::Zlib 1.34 contains a local vulnerable version of zlib,
which may lead to a buffer overflow.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers
can overwrite data structures for applications that use Compress::Zlib,
resulting in a Denial of Service and potentially arbitrary code
execution.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Compress::Zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=perl-core/Compress-Zlib-1.35&quot;</code>
</resolution>
