Subject: [CVE] zlib (< 1.2.12) memory corruption
Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2022 14:56:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aeecafc4-da37-240f-8f3e-ca2ca58f364f@arm.com> (raw)
Hi,
There is a CVE [1] for zlib < 1.2.12 (released march 27th).
GCC currently uses zlib 1.2.11, and binutils-gdb imports the zlib
directory from GCC. The recommendation is to get it updated to 1.2.12,
which contains the proper fix [2].
It might not affect gcc/binutils/gdb since the code doesn't seem to be
using the problematic option Z_FIXED, but it seems like a good idea to
consider bumping the version of zlib we use.
