Revisions of gzip
Prepare for RPM 4.20 (forwarded request 1152170 from dimstar)
- update to 1.12 (CVE-2022-1271,bsc#1198062): * 'gzip -l' no longer misreports file lengths 4 GiB and larger. Previously, 'gzip -l' output the 32-bit value stored in the gzip header even though that is the uncompressed length modulo 2**32. Now, 'gzip -l' calculates the uncompressed length by decompressing the data and counting the resulting bytes. Although this can take much more time, nowadays the correctness pros seem to outweigh the performance cons. * 'zless' is no longer installed on platforms lacking 'less'. * zgrep applied to a crafted file name with two or more newlines can no longer overwrite an arbitrary, attacker-selected file. [bug introduced in gzip-1.3.10] * zgrep now names input file on error instead of mislabeling it as "(standard input)", if grep supports the GNU -H and --label options. * 'zdiff -C 5' no longer misbehaves by treating '5' as a file name. * Configure-time options like --program-prefix now work. - refresh zdiff.diff, zgrep.diff, zmore.diff
