Ubuntu 12.04 is End-Of-life and is not supported anymore.
You should upgrade to 16.04 (unless your system is running legacy code which can't run on 12.04)
Once you'll upgrade your Ubuntu to 16.04, you'll get newest version of gzip
Version 1.6 is the current version on 16.04
$ gzip --version
gzip 1.6
