## Changes Since 2.5.6

### Security fixes

- CVE-2015-8077, CVE-2015-8078: protect against integer overflow in urlfetch range checks

### SSL changes

- Support for legacy SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols has been removed

  These protocols were previously enabled by default, but could be disabled by removing them from `tls_versions` in imapd.conf(5). They are now completely unsupported.

  Administrators needing to support these protocols may find a patch in `contrib/allow-broken-sslv23.patch`. With this patch, SSLv2 and SSLv3 will be disabled by default, but can be enabled by adding them to `tls_versions`. Users of this patch do so at their own risk.

- Support for TLS compression has been removed (thanks Ondřej Surý)

  This was previously disabled by default, but could be enabled with `tls_compression` in imapd.conf(5). It is now completely unsupported.
