Hello! Heads up! The fix given with this advisory seems to be buggy, at least in kernel part (sys/net/zlib.c, see kern/35969). Now, while PR is still open, what would be wise: use patched or non-patched kernel? Patched one could panic with PPP_DEFLATE - what could be done with non-patched one by hackers? Also, has fix for lib/libz/infblock.c been verified for correctness?
