Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
CVE-2026-41991-a.patch gzexe: use -C if lacking mktemp
(Problem reported by Michał Majchrowicz.)
* gzexe.in: If mktemp is needed but not installed,
use ‘set -C’ to avoid a race when creating a temporary file.
* zdiff.in: Use the same pattern here, even though the old
code was probably OK anyway.
