    Summary: Moderate: gdisk security update

Security Fix(es): * gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc (CVE-2020-0256) * gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in ReadLogicalParts of basicmbr.cc (CVE-2021-0308) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
