>Description:
The zlib sources supplied with gcc are now version 1.1.4. zlib/configure.in has yet to be notified of this change, and still believes that it is configuring version 1.1.3. Messages during the build process lead the user to believe that version 1.1.3 is in use, this can be frightening if the user is aware of the double-free vulnerability in 1.1.3 as described at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt .
>How-To-Repeat:
