<description>This update for socat fixes the following issues:
socat is updated to 1.8.0.0:
Primary feature is enabling TLS 1.3 support. (jsc#PED-8413)
* Support for network namespaces (option netns)
* TCP client now automatically tries all addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) provided by nameserver until success
* Implementation of POSIX message queue (mq) control and access on Linux (addresses POSIXMQ-READ and following)
* New wrapper script socat-chain.sh allows to stack two addresses, e.g.HTTP proxy connect over SSL
* New script socat-mux.sh allows n-to-1 / 1-to-n communications
* New script socat-broker.sh allows group communications
* Experimental socks5 client feature
* Address ACCEPT-FD for systemd "inetd" mode
* UDP-Lite and DCCP address types
* Addresses SOCKETPAIR and SHELL
* New option bind-tmpname allows forked off children to bind UNIX domain client sockets to random unique pathes
* New option retrieve-vlan (with INTERFACE addresses) now makes kernel keep VLAN tags in incoming packets
* Simple statistics output with Socat option --statistics and with SIGUSR1
* A couple of new options, many fixes and corrections, see file CHANGES
Update to 1.7.4.4:
* FIX: In error.c msg2() there was a stack overflow on long messages: The
terminating \0 Byte was written behind the last position.
* FIX: UDP-RECVFROM with fork sometimes terminated when multiple packets
arrived.
* FIX: a couple of weaknesses and errors when accessing invalid or
incompatible file system entries with UNIX domain, file, and generic
addresses.
* FIX: bad parser error message on "socat /tmp/x\"x/x -"
Update to 1.7.4.3:
* fixes the TCP_INFO issue that broke building on non-Linux platforms.
* building on AIX works again.
* A few more corrections and improvements have been added
Update to version 1.7.4.2:
* Fixes a lot of bugs, e.g., for options -r and -R.
* Further bugfixes, see the CHANGES file
Update to 1.7.4.1:
Security:
* Buffer size option (-b) is internally doubled for CR-CRLF conversion,
but not checked for integer overflow. This could lead to heap based buffer
overflow, assuming the attacker could provide this parameter.
* Many further bugfixes and new features, see the CHANGES file
