From: Yegor Yefremov <yegorslists at googlemail.com>
security:
fixed a stack overflow vulnerability that occurred when command
line arguments (whole addresses, host names, file names) were longer
than 512 bytes.
Note that this could only be exploited when an attacker was able to
inject data into socat's command line.
Full credits to Felix Gröbert, Google Security Team, for finding and
reporting this issue
new features:
added inter addresses for execution of external programs or scripts:
EXEC2 and SYSTEM2 are bidirectional, EXEC1 and SYSTEM1 are
unidirectional
option commtype replaces the now obsolete "socketpair" and "pipes"
options and selects the communication mechanism on the left side of
EXEC and SYSTEM addresses
options leftfd, leftinfd, leftoutfd; and rightfd, rightinfd,
rightoutfd override the default file descriptor numbers provided to
exec'd programs
