[Zlib-announce] zlib 1.2.3 released

I am forwarding this message since zlib security issues become 
GraphicsMagick security issues.  Zlib is used (in part) to support the 
MIFF, PNG, and TIFF file formats.

Subject: [Zlib-announce] zlib 1.2.3 released

zlib users,

zlib verison 1.2.3 has been released.  It eliminates a newly discovered 
security vulnerability in zlib 1.2.2 for which specially crafted compressed 
input can cause inflate to overflow a fixed-size array in the internal inflate 
data structure.  All users of zlib 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 should upgrade to zlib 1.2.3. 
It is available here:

     http://www.zlib.net/

For now, you should use the first link for each of the distribution files, the 
one on zlib.net, as not all of the links work yet.
