As PostgreSQL uses the zlib library (for TOAST?), this is a headsup that a 
bug has been found in the zlib library that could  cause data corruption or a 
security breach.

See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.

Updating zlib is strongly recommended by many sources, and a patch is 
available.

I have only posted this to HACKERS; if a cross-post to GENERAL or ADMIN is 
useful, that can be arranged.
