Hello,
 We've just released gnutls 3.6.16. This is a security and bug fix
release on the stable 3.6.x branch.

We'd like to thank everyone who contributed in this release:
Daiki Ueno, Fiona Klute, and Stefan Berger.

The detailed list of changes follows:

* Version 3.6.16 (released 2021-05-24)

** libgnutls: Fixed potential miscalculation of ECDSA/EdDSA code backported from
   Nettle.  In GnuTLS, as long as it is built and linked against the fixed
   version of Nettle, this only affects GOST curves.  [CVE-2021-20305]

** libgnutls: Fixed potential use-after-free in sending "key_share"
   and "pre_shared_key" extensions. When sending those extensions, the
   client may dereference a pointer no longer valid after
   realloc. This happens only when the client sends a large Client
   Hello message, e.g., when HRR is sent in a resumed session
   previously negotiated large FFDHE parameters, because the initial
   allocation of the buffer is large enough without having to call
   realloc (#1151).  [GNUTLS-SA-2021-03-10, CVSS: low]

** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
