I'm more concerned about *statically* linked binaries, since dynamically
linked binaries should automagically use the patched libz when it is
installed.
# find / -type f -print0 |xargs -0 strings -af |grep '\(in\|de\)flate.*\(Gailly\|Adler\)'
(Apologies to Gailly and Adler.)
Besides the usual suspects (/usr/lib/libz*, etc.) here are some binaries I
would consider "sensitive":

Understandable, sa == Stand-Alone

So anoncvs can "fix" gcc to become like dmr's trusting-trust C compiler?

Now all you need to do is dial up and send some bogus compressed PPP?
Unlimited ISP access? Neat!
