Zlib: Security Vulnerabilities
When libcurl is asked to perform automatic gzip decompression of
content-encoded HTTP responses with the `CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING` option,
**using zlib 1.2.0.3 or older**, an attacker-controlled integer overflow would
make libcurl perform a buffer overflow.

MiniZip in zlib through 1.3 has an integer overflow and resultant heap-based buffer overflow in zipOpenNewFileInZip4_64 via a long filename, comment, or extra field. NOTE: MiniZip is not a supported part of the zlib product. NOTE: pyminizip through 0.2.6 is also vulnerable because it bundles an affected zlib version, and exposes the applicable MiniZip code through its compress API.

zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g., see the nodejs/node reference).

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pigz 2.3.1 allow remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via a (1) full pathname or (2) .. (dot dot) in an archive.

Race condition in pigz before 2.2.5 uses permissions derived from the umask when compressing a file before setting that file's permissions to match those of the original file, which might allow local users to bypass intended access permissions while compression is occurring.
