1. Problem Description

	The error handling in the (1) inflate and (2) inflateBack
	functions in ZLib compression library 1.2.x allows local users
	to cause a denial of service (application crash).

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the name CVE-2004-0797 to this issue.

	inftrees.h in zlib 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a
	denial of service (application crash) via an invalid file that
	causes a large dynamic tree to be produced.

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the name CVE-2005-1849 to this issue.

	Buffer overflow in zlib 1.2 and later versions allows remote
	attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
	compressed stream, as demonstrated using a crafted PNG file.

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
	has assigned the name CVE-2005-2096 to this issue.
