The Fedora toolchain enhancement tackles vulnerabilities while boosting efficiency and speeding up compilation processes for increased security.
An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available.

Description

This update for blosc fixes the following issues:

codecs. For details, see our new blog post:

https://blosc.org/posts/beast-release/

* Fixed the _xgetbv() collision. Thanks to Micha?? G??rny (@mgorny).

Update to version 1.19.0:

* The length of automatic blocksizes for fast codecs (lz4, blosclz) has

been incremented quite a bit (up to 256 KB) for better compression

ratios.

* The performance in modern CPUs (with at least 256 KB in L2 cache) should

be better too (for older CPUs the performance should stay roughly the

same).

* For small buffers that cannot be compressed (typically < 128 bytes),

blosc_compress() returns now a 0 (cannot compress) instead of a negative

...
