Trustix has released a security patch to correct two vulnerabilities identified in Zlib and net-snmp. The first flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in Zlib when processing a malformed data stream, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted compressed stream embedded within network communication or an application file format. The second vulnerability resides in net-snmp when stream sockets have been configured for use, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service.
