The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200508-01 (Compress::Zlib: Buffer overflow)

Compress::Zlib 1.34 contains a local vulnerable version of zlib,     which may lead to a buffer overflow.

Impact :

By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers     can overwrite data structures for applications that use Compress::Zlib,     resulting in a Denial of Service and potentially arbitrary code     execution.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
