   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for coreutils provides the following fixes and enhancements:

       * cp(1) could read from freed memory and could even make corrupt
         copies. This could happen with a very fragmented and sparse input
         file, on file systems supporting filemap extent scanning.
         (bnc#892862)
       * Improve ls(1) efficiency on large directories by caching some system
         call error codes (ENOTSUP for example) and not calling them again
         for files in the same device. (bnc#886129)
