+
+Changes Since 3.0.15
+====================
+
+Security fixes:
+---------------
+
+* Fixed CVE-2021-33582_: Certain user inputs are used as hash table keys during
+  processing.  A poorly chosen string hashing algorithm meant that the user
+  could control which bucket their data was stored in, allowing a malicious
+  user to direct many inputs to a single bucket.  Each subsequent insertion to
+  the same bucket requires a strcmp of every other entry in it.  At tens of
+  thousands of entries, each new insertion could keep the CPU busy in a strcmp
+  loop for minutes.
+
+  The string hashing algorithm has been replaced with a better one, and now
+  also uses a random seed per hash table, so malicious inputs cannot be
+  precomputed.
