Version 2.37.1
+Security related changes:
+
+ CVE-2023-25139: When the printf family of functions is called with a
+ format specifier that uses an <apostrophe> (enable grouping) and a
+ minimum width specifier, the resulting output could be larger than
+ reasonably expected by a caller that computed a tight bound on the
+ buffer size. The resulting larger than expected output could result
+ in a buffer overflow in the printf family of functions.
+
The following bugs are resolved with this release:
[30053] time: strftime %s returns -1 after 2038 on 32 bits systems
