Bug #76709 Minimal required zlib library is 1.2.0.4
Submitted: 2018-08-06 07:22 UTC Modified: 2018-08-06 10:12 UTC

Status: Closed Package: Zlib related
PHP Version: 7.1.20 OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
Documentation for the zlib says that minimal required version for zlib is 1.0.9:
http://php.net/manual/en/zlib.requirements.php

However there was an update of the zlib extension API and it now requires at least 1.2.0.4 version of zlib system library. The minimal required version is also reported in the 'configure --help' output. This affects active PHP 7.1+ versions.

Test script:
---------------
./buildconf
./configure --help | grep zlib

Expected result:
----------------
--with-zlib=DIR         Include ZLIB support (requires zlib >= 1.2.0.4)

Actual result:
--------------
--with-zlib=DIR         Include ZLIB support (requires zlib >= 1.0.9)

Seems like it happened 8 years ago with PHP 5.4?
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/11d24c1593d6617f73d3f290617bd8994182f4dc#diff-e6a0538da2ce7ab6c67ecf482c981f50

The docs need updating, but so does the .m4's description of --with-zlib.

Thanks, I've updated the config0.m4 file via the above patch. I'm also reopening this one since the docs need to be updated as well. I guess, this is best to be reported separately in such cases.
