Urk. I have such a list generated from the packages found on ftp2.freebsd.org. I found approximately 774 binaries (some ports including more than one executable or shared object, of course) that referenced zlib in the packages. I also searched the distfiles on ftp2.freebsd.org for applications that included their own copy of zlib. There are approximately 78 of those. (The above numbers are from Feb 18.) I did not count applications which statically link zlib. I don't believe that we are affected, so the information did not turn out to be very useful :-) Cheers, -- Jacques A.
