Description: 
 The huft_build function in inflate.c in the zlib routines in the Linux
 kernel before 2.6.12.5 returns the wrong value, which allows remote
 attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) via a certain
 compressed file that leads to a null pointer dereference, a different
 vulnerability than CVE-2005-2458.
Notes: 
 This is a bogus fix that was applied in 2.6.12.5 and reverted in 2.6.12.6

 We included the broken fix in the sarge1 releases, so this backs it out.
