Security issues fixed :

CVE-2019-9169: Fixed a heap-based buffer over-read via an attempted case-insensitive regular-expression match (bsc#1127308).

CVE-2009-5155: Fixed a denial of service in parse_reg_exp() (bsc#1127223).

Non-security issues fixed: Does no longer compress debug sections in crt*.o files (bsc#1123710)

Fixes a concurrency problem in ldconfig (bsc#1117993)

Fixes a race condition in pthread_mutex_lock while promoting to PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP (bsc#1131330)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
