Dear Users,

I have released version 4.53 of stunnel. This is major a bugfix release. Upgrade is highly recommended.

The ChangeLog entry:

Version 4.53, 2012.03.19, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - Added client-mode "sni" option to directly control the value of TLS Server Name Indication (RFC 3546) extension. - Added support for IP_FREEBIND socket option with a pached Linux kernel. - Glibc-specific dynamic allocation tuning was applied to help unused memory deallocation. - Non-blocking OCSP implementation. * Bugfixes - Compilation fixes for old versions of OpenSSL (tested against 0.9.6). - Usage of uninitialized variables fixed in exec+connect services. - Occasional logging subsystem crash with exec+connect services. - OpenBSD compilation fix (thx to Michele Orru'). - Session id context initialized with session name rather than a constant. - Fixed handling of a rare inetd mode use case, where either stdin or stdout is a socket, but not both of them at the same time. - Fixed missing OPENSSL_Applink http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG2 - Fixed crash on termination with FORK threading model. - Fixed dead canary after configuration reload with open connections. - Fixed missing file descriptors passed to local mode processes. - Fixed required jmp_buf alignment on Itanium platform. - Removed creating /dev/zero in the chroot jail on Solaris platform. - Fixed detection of WSAECONNREFUSED Winsock error. - Missing Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest added to Windows installer.
