-    <para>Gzip has 2 known security vulnerabilities.  The following patch
-    addresses both of them:</para>

-    <para>The <command>gzexe</command> command calls <command>tail</command>
-    with options that do not conform to newer versions of the POSIX standard,
-    and therefore are not accepted by current versions of Coreutils. Fix this
-    problem by issuing the following command:</para>

-<screen><userinput>sed -i 's/tail +/tail -n +/' gzexe.in</userinput></screen>

     <para>Prepare Gzip for compilation:</para>

-    <para>The <command>gzexe</command> script has the location of the
-    <command>gzip</command> binary hard-wired into it. Because the
-    location of the binary is changed later, the following command ensures
-    that the new location gets placed into the script:</para>
