Just thought I'd let everyone know. Please download and upgrade
your zlib library, to fix a buffer overflow vulnerability. Almost
everyone
running Linux will have zlib. It is part of the base system and many
many programs 
require it. It is part of the base install I am requiring in my new
distro.

 "Three OS's from corporate-kings in their towers of glass, 
Seven from valley-lords where orchards used to grow, 
Nine from dotcoms doomed to die, 
one from the dark lord Gates on his dark throne 
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie. 
one OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, 
one OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, 
In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie."    john thrum
