... it seems,
that i'm the only one, who wants to build/install the newest snaphost on RHEL4 .... ain't i ?
... and if so, does anybody knows which latest snapshot will build on RHEL4 with zlib-version 1.2.1.2
.. by the way, i see in this moment .. :-)
the latest rpm for rhel4 from Buchan is from the second of april ...
http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/rhel4/hobbit/i386/

thanks & cheers

Hi, Henrik !
Well - a "1.2.1.2" version really *is* older than 1.2.3.
... indeed, that is clear :-)
But unfortunatley on Scientific Linux 4, RHEL4 ..
there is no zlib-version 1.2.3 available ...
only 1.2.2
Obviously , it has to be written "1.2.1.2" ! .. typing error ...
and this version should be secure

Hmm, have i to patch test-zlib.c to compile hobbit-snapshots on Scientific Linux 4/ RHEL4 System for myself, or is there any other chance ?
Thanks & Cheers,
Martin

According to www.zlib.net "Version 1.2.3 eliminates potential security vulnerabilities in zlib 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, so all users of those versions should upgrade immediately."
The reason you didn't see the problem with the April snapshots was that zlib wasn't used back then.
... i remember a problem from September
Different problem, the zlib test in Hobbit back then used some non-standard ZLIB macros.
