As a matter of fact, there are two frame formats defined by Zstandard: Zstandard frames and Skippable frames.
So we should probably support zstd algorithms with skippable frames.
See https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kucherawy-dispatch-zstd-00.html#rfc.section.2 for more details.

Go 1.15.7 contained a security fix for CVE-2021-3115, which allowed arbitrary
code to be executed at build time when using cgo on Windows. This issue also
affects Unix users who have “.” listed explicitly in their PATH and are running
“go get” outside of a module or with module mode disabled.
This issue is not limited to the go command itself, and can also affect binaries
that use `os.Command`, `os.LookPath`, etc.
From the related blogpost (ttps://blog.golang.org/path-security):
> Are your own programs affected?
>
> If you use exec.LookPath or exec.Command in your own programs, you only need to
> be concerned if you (or your users) run your program in a directory with untrusted
> contents. If so, then a subprocess could be started using an executable from dot
> instead of from a system directory. (Again, using an executable from dot happens
> always on Windows and only with uncommon PATH settings on Unix.)
>
> If you are concerned, then we’ve published the more restricted variant of os/exec
> as golang.org/x/sys/execabs. You can use it in your program by simply replacing
This patch replaces all uses of `os/exec` with `golang.org/x/sys/execabs`. While
some uses of `os/exec` should not be problematic (e.g. part of tests), it is
probably good to be consistent, in case code gets moved around.

zstd is a compression algorithm that has a very fast decoder, while
providing also good compression ratios. The fast decoder makes it
suitable for container images, as decompressing the tarballs is a very
expensive operation.
https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/pull/788 added support
for zstd to the OCI image specs.

A panic was seen related to the buffer being reset in
one goroutine while being read in another. In the case
of pigz an early cancellation will cause the reader to
close, resetting the buffer and signaling the process
to shut down, but races since the process must stop
reading before the reset otherwise the a panic may occur.
This fix guarantees that the bufio is always reset and
returned to the pool on the same goroutine that is
doing the read. If a buffer is not fully read the
buffered reader should just be discarded and not
returned back to the pool.
