+strongswan-5.6.0
+----------------
+
+- Fixed a DoS vulnerability in the gmp plugin that was caused by insufficient
+ input validation when verifying RSA signatures, which requires decryption
+ with the operation m^e mod n, where m is the signature, and e and n are the
+ exponent and modulus of the public key. The value m is an integer between
+ 0 and n-1, however, the gmp plugin did not verify this. So if m equals n the
+ calculation results in 0, in which case mpz_export() returns NULL. This
+ result wasn't handled properly causing a null-pointer dereference.
+ This vulnerability has been registered as CVE-2017-11185.
+
+- New SWIMA IMC/IMV pair implements the "draft-ietf-sacm-nea-swima-patnc"
+ Internet Draft and has been demonstrated at the IETF 99 Prague Hackathon.
+
+- The IMV database template has been adapted to achieve full compliance
+ with the ISO 19770-2:2015 SWID tag standard.
+
+- The sw-collector tool extracts software events from apt history logs
+ and stores them in an SQLite database to be used by the SWIMA IMC.
+ The tool can also generate SWID tags both for installed and removed
+ package versions.
+
+- The pt-tls-client can attach and use TPM 2.0 protected private keys
+ via the --keyid parameter.
+
+- libtpmtss supports Intel's TSS2 Architecture Broker and Resource
+ Manager interface (tcti-tabrmd).
+
+- The new eap-aka-3gpp plugin implements the 3GPP MILENAGE algorithms
+ in software. K (optionally concatenated with OPc) may be configured as
+ binary EAP secret.
+
+- CHILD_SA rekeying was fixed in charon-tkm and was slightly changed: The
+ switch to the new outbound IPsec SA now happens via SPI on the outbound
+ policy on Linux, and in case of lost rekey collisions no outbound SA/policy
+ is temporarily installed for the redundant CHILD_SA.
+
+- The new %unique-dir value for mark* settings allocates separate unique marks
+ for each CHILD_SA direction (in/out).
