DSA-3299 stunnel4 – security update

Johan Olofsson discovered an authentication bypass vulnerability in
Stunnel, a program designed to work as an universal SSL tunnel for
network daemons. When Stunnel in server mode is used with the redirect
option and certificate-based authentication is enabled with verify = 2
or higher, then only the initial connection is redirected to the hosts
specified with redirect. This allows a remote attacker to bypass
authentication.
