Name        : zchunk

Version     : 1.3.1
Release     : 1.fc38
URL         : https://github.com/zchunk/zchunk
Summary     : Compressed file format that allows easy deltas
Description :
zchunk is a compressed file format that splits the file into independent
chunks.  This allows you to only download the differences when downloading a
new version of the file, and also makes zchunk files efficient over rsync.
zchunk files are protected with strong checksums to verify that the file you
downloaded is in fact the file you wanted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix several low severity security bugs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Tue Apr  4 2023 Jonathan Dieter  - 1.3.1-1
- Fix a few low severity security bugs including
  - An off-by-one overflow when reading compressed integers from a
    malicious zchunk file
  - Error handling being skipped when the number of bytes read doesn't
    match what's expected
  - Not freeing memory when attempting to reallocate to size 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use
su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2023-86dce75007' at the command
line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at
