In other words, there's no point in fixing it because Debian doesn't build the vulnerable binary component.
Very low priority.

so, this CVE is telling you about a bug which is not affecting Debians
zlib1g since it doesn't build minizip.

I can still find "minizip" binary in bookworm which depends on "zlib1g". So what does it mean that "it doesn't build minizip"?

Thanks for trying and patience :-)

that is what your job is: finding out wether the bug is really
affecting you and if so, how to mitigate it.

So, if I use "minizip" or any other package based on vulnerable "zlib1g" in bookworm, that may be a security risk, right?
