This is a security release that fixes an integer overflow in code generated by
binpac. This issue can be used by remote attackers to crash Bro (i.e. a DoS
attack). There also is a possibility this can be exploited in other ways.

This bug was found by Philippe Antoine of Catena cyber. A CVE will be assigned
to this bug.

Bro 2.5.3 does not contain any other changes. We urge everyone to update their
installation as quickly as possible.
