Updated john packages fix crash at startup with old CPUs

Publication date: 19 Nov 2017
Modification date: 19 Nov 2017
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 6

Description

john was built with automatic cpu detection. So it enabled SSE3 and AVX
instructions even for 32 bit packages. This update limits the authorised
cpu instructions for both i586 and x86_64.
