    Summary: Recommended update for coreutils

    Details: This update for coreutils provides the following fixes and enhancements: * cp(1) could read from freed memory and could even make corrupt copies. This could happen with a very fragmented and sparse input file, on file systems supporting filemap extent scanning. (bnc#892862) * Improve ls(1) efficiency on large directories by caching some system call error codes (ENOTSUP for example) and not calling them again for files in the same device. (bnc#886129)
