The libevent library was vulnerable to a potential heap overflow in the buffer/bufferevent APIs.

This update was prepared by Nguyen Cong who used the upstream-provided patch. Thanks to them!

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
