It seems that the latest version of zlib fixed the problem we found in lxml. Thanks! I think you can ship it.

[ Where problems could occur ] * Since this is limited to s390x and DFLTCC / hw acceleration active, any possible problems are limited to such environments. * Fix can be broken if the state handling (state->wrap), or the states mixed. * The translation from stream to parameter block could be broken (again due to wrong states) and the inflate as well. [ Other Info ] * The official upstream fix is here: https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/pull/1390 but it's for zlib-ng. * For zlib this needs to be adjusted and was done by the author here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/641454325/patch-1.2.11 * And again slightly adjusted by me (renamed, some white-space fixes and conversion into a quilt patch with proper dep3 header): https://launchpadlibrarian.net/645435847/1390.patch * The zlib version in Focal, Jammy, Kinetic and Lunar are affected. __________ It has been reported that 1.2.13 as well as the patch from LP#1990379 breaks libxml2 (and libxml) on s390x: (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2155328). The attached patch should fix the issue. The upstream author proposed a fix and a new test for zlib-ng (https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/pull/1390) in order to detect such breakages in the future. ___ This was initially reported as part of LP#1990379, especially: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zlib/+bug/1990379/comments/12 but needs a separate LP bug (number) - this one. ___ The proposed patch at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/641454325/patch-1.2.11 needed some tweaks regarding white-spaces, but then applied fine on focal, jammy, kinetic and also 1.2.13, which is what we currently have in lunar-proposed.
