shield Recommended update for gzip
SUSE-SLE-Module-Basesystem-15-SP1-2020-3792


This update for gzip fixes the following issues: Update from version 1.9 to version 1.10 (jsc#ECO-2217, jsc#SLE-12974) - Enable `DFLTCC` (Deflate Conversion Call) compression for s390x for levels 1-6 to `CFLAGS`. (jsc#SLE-13775) Enable by adding `-DDFLTCC_LEVEL_MASK=0x7e` to `CFLAGS`. - Fix three data corruption issues. (bsc#1145276, jsc#SLE-5818, jsc#SLE-8914) - Add support for `DFLTCC` (hardware-accelerated deflation) for s390x arch. (jsc#SLE-5818, jsc#SLE-8914) Enable it using the `--enable-dfltcc` option. - Compressed gzip output no longer contains the current time as a timestamp when the input is not a regular file. Instead, the output contains a `null` (zero) timestamp. This makes gzip's behavior more reproducible when used as part of a pipeline. - A use of uninitialized memory on some malformed inputs has been fixed. - A few theoretical race conditions in signal handlers have been fixed. - Update gnulib for `libio.h` removal.
