This is one of my long term gripes with RedHat (and its clones). The backporting of security fixes to older versions of software may be fine, but it is a nightmare when you're trying to remember which version is vulnerable or not. In this case, the simplest thing to do is to search for zlib over at rpmfind.net, grab zlib-1.2.2.2-1.src.rpm from the Fedora Core Development Sources and rebuild it (rpm -ba zlib-1.2.2.2-a.src.rpm) and install the binary. Worked for me on Fedora Core 1.
