   An update that solves one vulnerability and has four fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   This update for binutils fixes the following issues:

   - For compatibility on old code stream that expect 'brcl 0,label' to
 not
     be disassembled as 'jgnop label' on s390x.  (bsc#1192267) This
 reverts
     IBM zSeries HLASM support for now.
   - Fixed that ppc64 optflags did not enable LTO (bsc#1188941).
   - Fix empty man-pages from broken release tarball
   - Fixed a memory corruption with rpath option (bsc#1191473).
   - Fixed slow performance of stripping some binaries (bsc#1183909).

   Security issue fixed:

   - CVE-2021-20294: Fixed out-of-bounds write in print_dynamic_symbol in
     readelf (bnc#1184519)
