[Zlib-devel] Bug in zlib 1.2.1 -- please test zlib 1.2.1.1forimminent release!

[Gilles Vollant]

I ask again : what is the risk, and how can we obtain a zipfile that zlib
1.2.1 did not inflate ?
The fix is not released four month after being wrote, so I suppose this is
not a big risk...

Best regards
Gilles Vollant

To known how dangerous was the bug, have you an idea of the risk (%) to
found this problem in a real life zipfile?

All,

A zip file was found that zlib 1.2.1 could not properly inflate, but
previous versions could (as well as various other versions of my inflate
code).  Oops.  I have fixed the bug, and a new version is now available
here:

     http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~madler/zlib-1.2.1.1.tar.gz

Please test this version.  The only source change is in inftrees.c, which
fixes a problem with dynamic blocks that have no distance codes.
