**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** zlib versions 1.2.x **Description** The issue is related to error handling in the `inflate` and `inflateBack` functions of the zlib compression library, which can be exploited by local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. The vulnerability is associated with coding errors in the affected functions. **Recommendations** For zlib versions 1.2.x, consider disabling the `inflate` and `inflateBack` functions as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to these functions to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
