bug#30040: Mageia patching gzip with old CVE's

[Stig-Ørjan Smelror]

Hi everyone.

I'm a packager padawan with Mageia and started working on packaging
gzip-1.9 yesterday.

When looking through the list of patches for gzip, I noticed quite a few
CVE's lingering there and then looking through the code it "seemed to me"
that these CVE's are not included.

Then I thought, perhaps they've managed to fix these in other ways, but
since I'm no programmer and not really sure, I wanted to ask you.

Can you please take a look at the patches Mageia uses and let me know if
they are necessary or needs to be rebased for gzip-1.9?
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/gzip/current/SOURCES/

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
