Insight
Update Information: deltarpm prior to the current build ships with a bundled copy of zlib. This version of zlib has a known vulnerability with CVE identifier: CVE-2005-1849 This build of deltarpm patches the program to use the system zlib (which was fixed when the vulnerability was first discovered) instead of the bundled copy. ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 30 2009 Toshio Kuratomi - 3.4-11.1 - Build against the system zlib, not the bundled library. This remedies the fact that the included zlib is affected by CVE-2005-1849. - Fix cfile_detect_rsync() to detect rsync even if we don't have a zlib capable of making rsync-friendly compressed files.
