+- Security: Fix double-free in server TCP listener cleanup
+ A double-free in the server could be triggered by an authenticated user if
+ dropbear is running with -a (Allow connections to forwarded ports from any host)
+ This could potentially allow arbitrary code execution as root by an authenticated user.
+ Affects versions 2013.56 to 2016.74. Thanks to Mark Shepard for reporting the crash.
+
+- Security: Fix information disclosure with ~/.ssh/authorized_keys symlink.
+ Dropbear parsed authorized_keys as root, even if it were a symlink. The fix
+ is to switch to user permissions when opening authorized_keys
+
+ A user could symlink their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to a root-owned file they
+ couldn't normally read. If they managed to get that file to contain valid
+ authorized_keys with command= options it might be possible to read other
+ contents of that file.
+ This information disclosure is to an already authenticated user.
+ Thanks to Jann Horn of Google Project Zero for reporting this.
+
+- Generate hostkeys with dropbearkey atomically and flush to disk with fsync
+ Thanks to Andrei Gherzan for a patch
+
+- Fix out of tree builds with bundled libtom
+ Thanks to Henrik Nordström and Peter Krefting for patches.
