    The bzip2 packages contain a freely available, high-quality data compressor. It provides both standalone
    compression and decompression utilities, as well as a shared library for use with other programs.

    Security Fix(es):

    * bzip2: bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing (with data integrity tests fail). (CVE-2019-12900)

    * bzip2: bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing (with data integrity tests fail). [rhel-8.10.z]
    (CVE-2019-12900)

    Bug Fix(es):

    * Recent bzip2 RHEL8 update breaks data integrity tests (JIRA:RHEL-67824)
