checksum to verify. Before this release, applications could pass in
non-hex values for the checksum, which could cause zchunk to crash.
Now non-hex values will be rejected.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as
possible without introducing additional issues."
