Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for zlib.

CVE-2026-85091[0]:
| zlib versions 1.3.1.2 through 1.3.2 contain a heap buffer overflow
| vulnerability in the gz_vacate() function when processing non-
| blocking gzwrite() operations with stale external buffer pointers.
| Attackers can trigger the overflow by calling gzprintf() or
| gzvprintf() after a write stall, causing an unchecked memmove() to
| write beyond the internal input buffer boundary.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
