Upstream update.  Fixes a CVE:

 gzip -d could segfault and/or clobber the stack, possibly leading to
 arbitrary code execution.  This affects x86_64 but not 32-bit systems.
 This fixes CVE-2010-0001.
 For more details, see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/554418

 gzip -d would fail with a CRC error for some valid inputs.
 So far, the only valid input known to exhibit this failure was
 compressed "from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)".  In addition,
 to trigger the failure, your memcpy implementation must copy in
 the "reverse" order.


Signoff both,
Allan
