    Update socat to 1.7.3.0. From Ben Gergely in PR pkg/49996.
 
    ####################### V 1.7.3.0:
 
    security:
            (CVE Id pending)
            Fixed problems with signal handling caused by use of not async signal
            safe functions in signal handlers that could freeze socat, allowing
            denial of service attacks.
            Many changes in signal handling and the diagnostic messages system were
            applied to make the code async signal safe but still provide detailled
            logging from signal handlers:
            Coded function vsnprintf_r() as async signal safe incomplete substitute
            of libc vsnprintf()
            Coded function snprinterr() to replace %m in strings with a system error
            message
            Instead of gettimeofday() use clock_gettime() when available
            Pass Diagnostic messages from signal handler per unix socket to the main
            program flow
            Use sigaction() instead of signal() for better control
            Turn off nested signal handler invocations
            Thanks to Peter Lobsinger for reporting and explaining this issue.
 
            Red Hat issue 1019975: add TLS host name checks
            OpenSSL client checks if the server certificates names in
            extensions/subjectAltName/DNS or in subject/commonName match the name
            used to connect or the value of the openssl-commonname option.
            Test: OPENSSL_CN_CLIENT_SECURITY
 
            OpenSSL server checks if the client certificates names in
            extensions/subjectAltNames/DNS or subject/commonName match the value of
            the openssl-commonname option when it is used.
            Test: OPENSSL_CN_SERVER_SECURITY
 
            Red Hat issue 1019964: socat now uses the system certificate store with
            OPENSSL when neither options cafile nor capath are used
 
            Red Hat issue 1019972: needs to specify OpenSSL cipher suites
            Default cipherlist is now "HIGH:-NULL:-PSK:-aNULL" instead of empty to
            prevent downgrade attacks
 
    new features:
            OpenSSL addresses set couple of environment variables from values in
            peer certificate, e.g.:
            SOCAT_OPENSSL_X509_SUBJECT, SOCAT_OPENSSL_X509_ISSUER,
            SOCAT_OPENSSL_X509_COMMONNAME,
            SOCAT_OPENSSL_X509V3_SUBJECTALTNAME_DNS
            Tests: ENV_OPENSSL_{CLIENT,SERVER}_X509_*
 
            Added support for methods TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, and DTLS1
            Tests: OPENSSL_METHOD_*
 
            Enabled OpenSSL server side use of ECDHE ciphers. Feature suggested
            by Andrey Arapov.
 
            Added a new option termios-rawer for ptys.
            Thanks to Christian Vogelgsang for pointing me to this requirement
 
    corrections:
            Bind with ABSTRACT commands used non-abstract namespace (Linux).
            Test: ABSTRACT_BIND
            Thanks to Denis Shatov for reporting this bug.
 
            Fixed return value of nestlex()
 
            Option ignoreeof on the right address hung.
            Test: IGNOREEOF_REV
            Thanks to Franz Fasching for reporting this bug.
 
            Address SYSTEM, when terminating, shut down its parent addresses,
            e.g. an SSL connection which the parent assumed to still be active.
            Test: SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN
 
            Passive (listening or receiving) addresses with empty port field bound
            to a random port instead of terminating with error.
            Test: TCP4_NOPORT
 
            configure with some combination of disable options produced config
            files that failed to compile due to missing IPPROTO_TCP.
            Thanks to Thierry Fournier for report and patch.
 
            fixed a few minor bugs with OpenSSL in configure and with messages
 
            Socat did not work in FIPS mode because 1024 instead of 512 bit DH prime
            is required. Thanks to Zhigang Wang for reporting and sending a patch.
 
            Christophe Leroy provided a patch that fixes memory leaks reported by
            valgrind
 
            Help for filan -L was bad, is now corrected to:
            "follow symbolic links instead of showing their properties"
 
            Address options fdin and fdout were silently ignored when not applicable
            due to -u or -U option. Now these combinations are caught as errors.
            Test: FDOUT_ERROR
            Issue reported by Hendrik.
 
            Added option termios-cfmakeraw that calls cfmakeraw() and is preferred
            over option raw which is now obsolote. On SysV systems this call is
            simulated by appropriate setting.
            Thanks to Youfu Zhang for reporting issue with option raw.
 
    porting:
            Socat included <sys/poll.h> instead of POSIX <poll.h>
            Thanks to John Spencer for reporting this issue.
 
            Version 1.7.2.4 changed the check for gcc in configure.ac; this
            broke cross compiling. The particular check gets reverted.
            Thanks to Ross Burton and Danomi Manchego for reporting this issue.
 
            Debian Bug#764251: Set the build timestamp to a deterministic time:
            support external BUILD_DATE env var to allow to build reproducable
            binaries
 
            Joachim Fenkes provided an new adapted spec file.
 
            Type bool and macros Min and Max are defined by socat which led to
            compile errors when they were already provided by build framework.
            Thanks to Liyu Liu for providing a patch.
 
            David Arnstein contributed a patch for NetBSD 5.1 including stdbool.h
            support and appropriate files in Config/
 
            Lauri Tirkkonen contributed a patch regarding netinet/if_ether.h
            on Illumos
 
            Changes for Openindiana: define _XPG4_2, __EXTENSIONS__,
            _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS; and minor changes
 
            Red Hat issue 1182005: socat 1.7.2.4 build failure missing
            linux/errqueue.h
            Socat failed to compile on on PPC due to new requirements for
            including <linux/errqueue.h> and a weakness in the conditional code.
            Thanks to Michel Normand for reporting this issue.
 
    doc:
            In the man page the PTY example was badly formatted. Thanks to
            J.F.Sebastian for sending a patch.
 
            Added missing CVE ids to security issues in CHANGES
 
    testing:
            Do not distribute testcert.conf with socat source but generate it
            (and new testcert6.conf) during test.sh run.
 
    ####################### V 1.7.2.4:
 
    corrections:
            LISTEN based addresses applied some address options, e.g. so-keepalive,
            to the listening file descriptor instead of the connected file
            descriptor
            Thanks to Ulises Alonso for reporting this bug
 
            make failed after configure with non gcc compiler due to missing
            include. Thanks to Horacio Mijail for reporting this problem

            --disable-genericsocket in the help text. Thanks to Ben Gardiner for
            reporting and patching this bug
 
            In xioshutdown() a wrong branch was chosen after RECVFROM type
    addresses.
            Probably no impact.
            Thanks to David Binderman for reproting this issue.
 
            procan could not cleanly format ulimit values longer than 16 decimal
            digits. Thanks to Frank Dana for providing a patch that increases field
            width to 24 digits.
 
            OPENSSL-CONNECT with bind option failed on some systems,
    eg.FreeBSD, with
            "Invalid argument"

            Changed some variable definitions to make gcc -O2 aliasing checker happy
            Thanks to Ilya Gordeev for reporting these warnings
 
            On big endian platforms with type long >32bit the range option applied a
            bad base address. Thanks to hejia hejia for reporting and
    fixing this bug.
 
            Red Hat issue 1022070: missing length check in xiolog_ancillary_socket()

            UNIX-LISTEN with fork option did not remove the socket file system entry
            when exiting. Other file system based passive address types had similar
            issues or failed to apply options umask, user e.a.
            Thanks to Lorenzo Monti for pointing me to this issue
 
    porting:

            Adapted, improved test.sh script
 
            Red Hat issue 1021429: getgroupent fails with large number of groups;
            use getgrouplist() when available instead of sequence of calls to
            getgrent()
 
            Red Hat issue 1021948: snprintf API change;
            Implemented xio_snprintf() function as wrapper that tries to emulate C99
            behaviour on old glibc systems, and adapted all affected calls
            appropriately
 
            Mike Frysinger provided a patch that supports long long for time_t,
            socklen_t and a few other libc types.
 
            Artem Mygaiev extended Cedril Priscals Android build script
    with pty code
