It has (undocumented, at least thru menuconfig) options for zlib compression and decompression. First, what do these options do for the kernel, and second, is the zlib library that the kernel uses up-to-date with regards to the recent zlib vulnarabiliy? The kernel.org CHANGELOG says the zlib bug was fixed in -pre4. Any info on this is much appreciated, thx. Should I post this on the gentoo-user ML? Dave
