+`lldpd` contains several security features to mitigate vulnerabilities
+(privilege separation, chrooted process, …). If you wish to report a
+security issue, either open an [issue on GitHub][] or [mail me][]

+# Past vulnerabilities
+
+ * [CVE-2015-8011][]: buffer overflow when handling management address
+   TLV for LLDP. When a remote device was advertising a too large
+   management address while still respecting TLV boundaries, lldpd
+   would crash due to a buffer overflow. This vulnerability affects
+   the parser which is run in an unprivileged and chrooted
+   process. It does not allow arbitrary code execution
+   unless hardening has been specifically disabled. This bug has been
+   introduced in version 0.6.0. It has been fixed in commit
+   [dd4f16e7][] and in version 0.7.19.
+
+ * [CVE-2015-8012][]: crash on malformed management address. When a
+   remote device was advertising a malformed management address, lldpd
+   would crash with an assertion error. This vulnerability affects the
+   parser which is run in an unprivileged and chrooted process. It
+   does not allow arbitrary code execution. This bug has been
+   introduced in version 0.6.0. It has been fixed in commit
+   [793526f8][] and in version 0.7.19.
