As PostgreSQL uses the zlib library (for TOAST?), this is a headsup that a
bug has been found in the zlib library that could cause data corruption or a
security breach.

See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.

Updating zlib is strongly recommended by many sources, and a patch is
available.

I have only posted this to HACKERS; if a cross-post to GENERAL or ADMIN is
useful, that can be arranged.
