zlib v1.2.3 is the security fix.
As the SSH-fanatic|firewall-GESTAPO-man I'm very anxious about getting those as current as possible...

Notice the file in the patches directory... It's there for a half year at least..
OK.
I'm sorry, I came from QNX4 world where everything is linked statically, so after any update in any of used libs I had to recompile...
Well, as it's there for a long time, everything is recompiled against the fixed version, anyway 
BTW, welcome to the light side of the force 
I'm kind of newb here, I could not find patches directory but I've talked about this file...
Just reassure me that everything is under control.
You can find the patches which were applied to the official 1.2.2 release when building the zlib_1.2.2-2 package at https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/tags/wh … b/patches/ .

Do you mean to say that v1.2.3 is not official?
(Why not just use v1.2.3 directly?)
zlib 1.2.3 is of course an official release.
When the package you refered to (http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussi … mipsel.ipk) was built, zlib 1.2.2 + patches were used. In the current svn trunk zlib 1.2.3 is already used. (Without security patch, as this is already fixed in 1.2.3)
OK.
Don't get me for troller.
I'm an admin rather than the programmer, so I'm very paranoid about having everything patched and recent.
Alright.
The svn trunk contains the most recent version of OpenWrt - but rember that it is codenamed "Kamikaze"
The discussion might have continued from here.
