This update includes the latest release of neon, version 0.28.6.
This fixes two security issues:
* the billion laughs attack against expat could allow a Denial
of Service attack by a malicious server. (CVE-2009-2473)
* an embedded NUL byte in a certificate subject name could allow
an undetected MITM attack against an SSL server if a trusted CA
issues such a cert.
Several bug fixes are also included, notably:
* X.509v1 CA certificates are trusted by default
* Fix handling of some PKCS#12 certificates
ChangeLog:
* Wed Aug 19 2009 Joe Orton 0.28.6-1
- update to 0.28.6
* Fri May 29 2009 Joe Orton 0.28.4-1.1
- trust V1 CA certs by default (#502451)
* Fri Mar 6 2009 Joe Orton 0.28.4-1
- update to 0.28.4
* Mon Jan 19 2009 Joe Orton 0.28.3-3
- use install-p in make install (Robert Scheck, #226189)");
