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)
