<impact type="normal">

</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade to the latest available version of zlib.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All zlib users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3"
|
|
# emerge ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r3"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You should also run revdep-rebuild to rebuild any packages that depend
|
|
on older versions of zlib :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# revdep-rebuild</code>
|
|
</resolution>
