The problem is that it only works with system libraries and when you have a central software repository. You couldn&#x27;t even do it with an appstore, as you can possibly break tons of software that you can&#x27;t patch yourself. So what actually happens with dynamic linking there is that old .dll&#x2F;.dylib files (with vulnerabilities) get copied around.<p>With zlib I agree though. Static linking doesn&#x27;t make sense with such a standard library, at least under unix systems.
