           Summary: Get rid of the code under native/java/util/zip
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: adam at spicenitz.org


Looks like openjdk is shipping a private (and old) copy of zlib.

First, there should not be a private zlib in java.
Second, java.util.zip shouldn't even be native. Java is fast enough these days
to implement this directly, and zlib has a history of buffer overflows, etc. 

Classpath seems to have a pure Java implementation. Can it be used?

Worst case, at least link against system zlib.
