This PR addresses CVE-2026-4738 which appears to have been patched in a downstream repository, but it doesn't look like it was ever been submitted to the upstream zlib repository.
I'm not knowledgeable on the specifics of this exploit, but I thought I'd offer it in case this fix simply fell through the cracks.
As noted in the downstream PR this is basically the fix for CVE-2016-9840 being applied to infback9.
