Fix a bug in X509 DN string comparisons that could result in out of
bound reads. This could result in information leakage, denial of
service, or potentially incorrect certificate validation results.
(CVE-2017-2801)
Avoid throwing during a destructor since this is undefined in
C++11 and rarely a good idea. (GH #930)
Fix a bug causing modular exponentiations done modulo even numbers
to almost always be incorrect, unless the values were small. This
bug is not known to affect any cryptographic operation in Botan. (GH
#754)
Avoid use of C++11 std::to_string in some code added in 1.10.14
(GH #747#834)
Fix integer overflow during BER decoding, found by Falko Strenzke.
This bug is not thought to be directly exploitable but upgrading ASAP
is advised. (CVE-2016-9132)
Fix two cases where (in error situations) an exception would be thrown
from a destructor, causing a call to std::terminate.
When RC4 is disabled in the build, also prevent it from being included
in the OpenSSL provider. (GH #638)
- Use constant time modular inverse algorithm to avoid possible side
channel attack against ECDSA (CVE-2016-2849)
- Use constant time PKCS #1 unpadding to avoid possible side channel
attack against RSA decryption (CVE-2015-7827)
Make a temporary hack for non-SunOS, not yet fully verified;
this somehow needs to mirror what the package's configure.py
figures out, and expressing that properly and portably in
pkgsrc seems hard.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
* 1.8.14, 2012-07-18
- The malloc allocator would return null instead of throwing in the event of
an allocation failure, which could cause an application crash due to null
pointer dereference where normally an exception would occur.
- Recent versions of OpenSSL include extra information in ECC private keys,
the presence of which caused an exception when such a key was loaded by
botan. The decoding of ECC private keys has been changed to ignore these
fields if they are set.
- AutoSeeded_RNG has been changed to prefer /dev/random over /dev/urandom

This update is quite delicate and I'm sure it'll break somewhere. So far
I've only been able to test it in NetBSD/amd64 and Mac OS X Leopard.
I'm bumping the dependency version in buildlink3.mk because the only package
using this seems to be Monotone, and I'll updating it right away.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
