Vendor Solution
Update to Perl stable release 5.40.4 or 5.42.2 or later, which include Compress::Raw::Zlib 2.222.
Vendor Workaround
Install Compress::Raw::Zlib 2.220 or later into your @INC include path, so it takes precedence over the vulnerable core module shipped with Perl. Some OS distributions patch their perl package to build Compress::Raw::Zlib against the system zlib rather than the vendored copy. Users of these distributions may not be affected if their system zlib has been updated to 1.3.2 or later, or includes backported patches for the relevant vulnerabilities.
