Description Stephen Herr 2018-08-16 01:41:25 UTC 
Flaw bug created to hold information about an old flaw we knew something about. For more details see the MITRE CVE description.
Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2018-08-16 17:18:55 UTC 
MITRE description:

The decompression algorithm in zlib 1.1.3 and earlier, as used in many different utilities and packages, causes inflateEnd to release certain memory more than once (a "double free"), which may allow local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a block of malformed compression data.
