Well, yes, but anything can have security bugs, and I expect that the
libraries for gzip which have been around for a decade have been
audited a lot better than the ones for CBOR on which the paint is
still wet.  

People have beens mailing around vast numbers of DMARC reports, most
of which have an application/gzip body.  If there have been attacks
using DEFLATE bugs, nobody's gotten around to reporting them.

Perhaps it would be helpful to explain why it would be a good idea to
invent something new rather than adapt a an existing design that works
well in practice.
