An update that solves one vulnerability and has four security fixes can now be installed.

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)
