Probably not. The Compress::Raw::Zlib is used by Compress::Zlib
which is used by SpamAssassin to optionally decompress spamc/spamd
communication, at least the DependencyInfo.pm claims so.
This could potentially be exploited by a rogue spamc-lookalike
client (which could fabricate an arbitrary zip), but not by
mail compressed by a regular spamc. I think the mail compressed
attachments are not decompressed by SpamAssassin at all.

On the amavisd side (as mentioned in the CVE), the version 2.017
of Compress::Raw::Zlib is enforced since amavisd-new-2.6.4,
released in June 2009.
