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.
