Description

Windows-targeted applications can use deflate compression through the MinGW-w64 zlib build. It helps cross-compiled software read and write gzip, ZIP-related streams, PNG internals, and other compressed data formats.

Compression libraries often process untrusted files. Keep them updated and test error handling for corrupted or hostile input.
