On a freshly d/l'd and verified gzip package for RH 7.2, I get:

 6d13ebd9d0255cd1d51565ff4c1a55f9 

(using rpm -qilp --dump gzip-1.3-15.i386.rpm)

Unexpectedly, gzip *doesn't* appear on anyone's list for 
packages affected by the zlib 'double free' vulnerability,
so I believe that's not at issue here.

Hope that helps!
