A double free vulnerability has been found in zlib which can be used in
a DoS or possibly in an exploit. Distributions are now shipping
upgraded versions of zlib, installing the new version of zlib will fix
programs that use the shared library.
modutils has an option --enable-zlib which lets modprobe and insmod
read modules that have been compressed with gzip. If you built your
modutils with --enable-zlib and are using insmod.static then you must
rebuild modutils after first upgrading zlib. This only applies if
modutils was built with --enable-zlib (the default is not to use zlib)
and you also use static versions of modutils.
