Recently a bug was discoverd which affected various unix platforms

But it say it only affects the 5.x releases and not the 4. Is it
true only the 5.x releases are affected? (I think it rather odd,
because libz is pretty 'universal'
I believe FreeBSD-4.x ships with zlib-1.1.x, whereas the security
problem described above affects only the zlib-1.2.x branch found in
FreeBSD-5, Linux, and elsewhere. I seem to recall Colin Percival
saying as much, but you can double-check with the security officer if
you like...
