FEDORA-2025-69207650a4 created by fweimer a year ago for Fedora 40

This update addresses two security vulnerabilities: * CVE-2025-0395: A buffer overflow may occur in the assert function with certain large program names and assert expressions. * CVE-2025-0577: getrandom, arc4random can produce predictable randomness if a multi-threaded program creates additional threads after fork. The following non-security bugs are fixed: * Compatibility with certain programs that call free(environ) is improved (however, deallocating environ remains undefined in general). * Crashes in string functions on certain hypervisors that report L3 cache sizes above 4 GiB are avoided. * Poor performance of x86-64 string functions in certain cases. * Initialization of the restartable sequence area now follows recommended practices.
