Title:
  [Ubuntu 20.10] zlib: DFLTCC compression level switching issues

Status in zlib package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:   zlib: DFLTCC compression level switching issues
  Symptom:       Switching compression levels corrupts data
  Problem:       Hardware and software compression states become desynchronized.
  Solution:      Improve compression state synchronization. Since zlib project
                 does not accept patches at the moment, the fix has been
                 integrated into the DFLTCC pull request:
                 https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/410
                 The commitid is 992a7afc3edfa511dff0650d1c545b11bf64e655.
  Reproduction:  Not possible with popular command line tools. The issues were
                 discovered using example_call_fuzzer from:
                 https://github.com/iii-i/zlib-ng/tree/fuzz/test/fuzz/

  This needs also be applied against 20.04 !
