zlib: backport security fix for a reproducible crash in compressor
Tavis has just reported, that he was recently trying to track down a reproducible crash in a compressor. Believe it or not, it really was a bug in zlib-1.2.11 when compressing (not decompressing!) certain inputs. Tavis has reported it upstream, but it turns out the issue has been public since 2018, but the patch never made it into a release. As far as he knows, nobody ever assigned it a CVE.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix a bug that can crash deflate on some input when using
+ Z_FIXED.
+
+This bug was reported by Danilo Ramos of Eideticom, Inc. It has
+lain in wait 13 years before being found! The bug was introduced
+in zlib 1.2.2.2, with the addition of the Z_FIXED option. That
+option forces the use of fixed Huffman codes. For rare inputs with
+a large number of distant matches, the pending buffer into which
+the compressed data is written can overwrite the distance symbol
+table which it overlays. That results in corrupted output due to
+invalid distances, and can result in out-of-bound accesses,
+crashing the application.
+
+The fix here combines the distance buffer and literal/length
+buffers into a single symbol buffer. Now three bytes of pending
+buffer space are opened up for each literal or length/distance
+pair consumed, instead of the previous two bytes. This assures
+that the pending buffer cannot overwrite the symbol table, since
+the maximum fixed code compressed length/distance is 31 bits, and
+since there are four bytes of pending space for every three bytes
+of symbol space.
