Zlib is used for Volume Files and the .png format.

Sounds like a bugger for sure, myself I ain't worrying too much about it though. They always scale the problem too large when something like this happends.

Zlib is a compression library, used for reading bitmaps mostly

From zlib.net

Quote:This vulnerability only affects versions 1.2.1 and 1.2.2. of zlib. Earlier versions, e.g. 1.1.4, are not affected.


from zlib.h

#define ZLIB_VERSION "1.1.3"

So it would seem that the current zlib used in tse is not affected by this bug.

No, but 1.1.3 is affected by a much earlier bug, so it still needs to be updated.

Hm, I could've sworn I'd submitted a patch for that.
