*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
-*** IMPORTANT CHANGES ***
+- Apostrophes were not properly handled in email addresses. This was a
+ regression introduced in 2.16. It is not known whether this was
+ exploitable.
+ (bug 165221)
-*** Other changes of note ***
+See also next major section.
*** Bug fixes of note ***
+- The VERSION cookie which allowed the previously entered version of a product
+ to be remembered was not correctly set. It was only set as a session
+ cookie, and under some circumstances could interfere with other cookies
+ (such as the login information) send at the same time.
+ (bug 160227)
+
+- importxml.pl would fail if the versioncache needed to be updated.
+ (bug 164464)
+
+- Bug changes going through intermediate pages would munge fields with
+ multiple fields, such as CCs.
+ (bug 161203)
+
+- On failure in template->new, Bugzilla will now die rather than futilely
+ attempt to use an error template.
+ (bug 166023)
+
+- Fixed a problem where checksetup had problems converting old installations
+ that didn't have a duplicates table.
+ (bug 151619)
+
+- Fixed a problem that caused taint errors when viewing or editing user
+ preferences with Perl 5.005 and Template 2.08.
+ (bug 160710)

+
+*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
+
+- When a new product is added to an installation with 47 groups or more and
+ "usebuggroups" is enabled, the new group will be assigned a groupset bit
+ using Perl math that is not exact beyond 2^48. This results in the new
+ group being defined with a "bit" that has several bits set. As users are
+ given access to the new group, those users will also gain access to
+ spurious lower group privileges. Also, group bits were not always reused
+ when groups were deleted.
+ (bug 167485)
+
+- The email interface had another insecure single parameter system call. This
+ could potentially allow arbitrary shell commands to be run. This file is
+ not supported at this time, but as long as we knew about the problem, we
+ couldn't overlook it.
+ (bug 163024)
+
+*** Bug fixes of note ***
+
+- The email interface was broken. This was a 2.14.3 regression. This file
+ is not supported at this time, but as long as we knew about the problem, we
+ couldn't overlook it.
