sos: Sos is a set of tools that gathers information about system hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging. Sos is commonly used to help support technicians and developers.
zlib: Zlib is a general-purpose, patent-free, lossless data compression library which is used by many different programs.
Security Fix(es):
sos: A flaw was found in the ovirt-log-collector, which led to the logging of plaintext passwords in the log file. This flaw allows an attacker with sufficient privileges to read the log file, leading to a loss of confidentiality.(CVE-2022-2806)
sos: bugfix
zlib: An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in zlib, which allows memory corruption when deflating (ex: when compressing) if the input has many distant matches. For some rare inputs with a large number of distant matches (crafted payloads), the buffer into which the compressed or deflated data is written can overwrite the distance symbol table which it overlays. This issue results in corrupted output due to invalid distances, which leads to out-of-bound access, corrupting the memory and potentially crashing the application.(CVE-2018-25032)
zlib: bugfix
