The mingw-zlib package has been updated to version 1.2.2-2. zlib is a
standard lossless compression library; mingw-zlib is a version built 
using the standard windows runtime library and NOT cygwin; it is used by 
setup.exe among other tools.

This is a security bugfix release.

CHANGES:

Includes patch for security issue can-2005-2096 "Buffer overflow in zlib 
1.2 and later versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of 
service (crash) via a crafted compressed stream,"
