In this release, uses of unsafe functions in the C Standard Library were replaced by secure alternatives developed by Intel and Cisco in the repository safestringlib (MIT license) found here: https://github.com/intel/safestringlib. These protect against buffer overflow in functions such as: memcpy, memset, strcpy, strncpy, and sprintf.
This release is related to release 3.7.0.0 of the hipserver repository.
