Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
zlib versions prior to the fixed version in AlmaLinux 8.1 and 8.2
Description:
The issue concerns the zlib packages, which provide a general-purpose lossless data compression library used by many programs. It involves problems with compression level switching and incorrect results from the inflateSyncPoint() function on certain systems.
Recommendations:
For AlmaLinux 8.1, update the zlib package to the version that fixes the DFLTCC compression level switching issues.
For AlmaLinux 8.2, update the zlib package to the version that fixes the issue with inflateSyncPoint() returning an incorrect result on z15.
