I do not know anything that is not in the articles I posted. I was basing
my comment on this passage at the end:
Activity at the Zlib development site has been sparse for some time, and
the main developers seem to have moved on to other projects. We received
no response to our attempts to contact the developers in time for this
story.
However, Ormandy said, "Zlib is very mature and stable, so development is
sporadic, but it's certainly not dead. Mark Adler [a Zlib co-author]
responded to my report with a patch and an in-depth investigation and
explanation within 24 hours, and I believe he expects to release a new
version of Zlib very soon."
