   Under some circumstances the zlib compression library can free dynamically
   allocated memory twice.  This is not a security issue on OpenBSD since the BSD
   <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=free&sektion=3">free(3)</a>
   function detects this.
   There is also a kernel zlib component that may be used by pppd and IPSec.
   The feasibility of attacking the kernel this way is currently unknown.
   <a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/3.0/common/015_zlib.patch">A source code patch exists which remedies the problem</a>.
