-After (as usual) far too long a period, the Bugzilla Team
-is relieved to finally announce Bugzilla 2.16.
-
-This release adds significant new abilities to Bugzilla,
-both for the administrator and the user. The most important,
-and time-consuming of these features is the templatisation
-of all user-facing scripts, allowing administrators to
-easily customise the look and feel of their Bugzilla.
+The 2.16.1 release fixes various bugs found in the 2.16
+release, including some security issues.

+- Apostrophes were not properly handled in email addresses. This was a
+ regression introduced in 2.16. It is not known whether this was
+ exploitable.
+ (bug 165221)

+See also next major section.
+
+*** Bug fixes of note ***
+
+- The VERSION cookie which allowed the previously entered version of a product
+ to be remembered was not correctly set. It was only set as a session
+ cookie, and under some circumstances could interfere with other cookies
+ (such as the login information) send at the same time.
+ (bug 160227)

+- importxml.pl would fail if the versioncache needed to be updated.

+- Bug changes going through intermediate pages would munge fields with

+- On failure in template->new, Bugzilla will now die rather than futilely
+ attempt to use an error template.
+ (bug 166023)

+- Fixed a problem where checksetup had problems converting old installations
+ that didn't have a duplicates table.
+ (bug 151619)

+- Fixed a problem that caused taint errors when viewing or editing user

+
+*** SECURITY ISSUES RESOLVED ***
+
+- When a new product is added to an installation with 47 groups or more and
+ "usebuggroups" is enabled, the new group will be assigned a groupset bit
+ using Perl math that is not exact beyond 2^48. This results in the new
+ group being defined with a "bit" that has several bits set. As users are
+ given access to the new group, those users will also gain access to
+ spurious lower group privileges. Also, group bits were not always reused
+ when groups were deleted.
+ (bug 167485)
+
+- The email interface had another insecure single parameter system call. This
+ could potentially allow arbitrary shell commands to be run. This file is
+ not supported at this time, but as long as we knew about the problem, we
+ couldn't overlook it.
+ (bug 163024)
