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.
