Hmm. Just maybe.... Check this out (Quote-malformed set of compressed
data-Unquote):
*** {02.10.014} Cross - zlib double free decompression bug

zlib library prior to version 1.1.4 contains a bug that could allow
a particularly malformed set of compressed data to execute arbitrary
code. All programs that use zlib are vulnerable. Programs could
include SSH, GPG and VNC.

Updated source is available at:
