Problem Description:
Matthias Clasen found a security issue in zlib that, when provided with certain input, causes zlib to free an area of memory twice. This
"double free" bug can be used to crash any programs that take untrusted compressed input, such as web browsers, email clients, image viewing software, etc. This vulnerability can be used to perform Denial of Service attacks and, quite possibly, the execution of arbitrary code on the affected system.
MandrakeSoft has published two advisories concerning this incident:
MDKSA-2002:022 - zlib
MDKSA-2002:023 - packages containing zlib
Update:
Additional package are now available. For a list of prior packages released, please see MDKSA-2002:023. The noted packages below are in addition to MDKSA-2002:023; no packages have been replaced.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate. The verification of md5
checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm". A list of
FTP mirrors can be obtained from:
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/ftp.php
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig
All packages are signed by MandrakeSoft for security. You can obtain
the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team from:
https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
