+ Don't leave extra bit in decoded AVP data.</p>
+ <p>
+ An extra bit could be communicated in the data field of a
+ diameter_avp record in the case of length errors. Of no
+ consequence for code using the record encoding of
+ Diameter messages, but code examining diameter_avp
+ records would see this bit.</p>
+ <p>
+ Dictionary files must be recompiled for the fix to have
+ effect.</p>

+ Fix counting of outgoing requests and answers setting the
+ E-bit.</p>
+ <p>
+ OTP-11721 broke these counters for all outgoing requests
+ except DWR, and caused answers setting the E-bit to be
+ counted as unknown messages.</p>

+ Fix Failed-AVP decode.</p>
+ <p>
+ The best-effort decode only worked for AVPs in the common
+ dictionary, not for those in the dictionary of the
+ application identified in the Diameter Header of the
+ answer message in question.</p>
+ <p>
+ Failed-AVP in an answer decoded with the RFC 3588 common
+ dictionary (diameter_gen_base_rfc3588) was regarded as an
+ error. The RFC 6733 dictionary was unaffected.</p>
+ <p>
+ Dictionary files must be recompiled for the fix to have

+ Improve robustness.</p>
+ <p>
+ Counters returned by diameter:service_info/2 now only
+ count messages known to the dictionary in question, so
+ that an attacker cannot cause arbitrarily many counters
+ to be created.</p>
+ <p>
+ Messages to the Erlang log have been minimized, and those
+ related to traffic have been removed entirely since an
+ attacker could cause a node to be logged to death.
+ Consequently, the default answer_errors configuration has
+ been changed from report to discard. A service needs to
+ be restarted for the change in default to take effect.</p>

+ Fix request table leak.</p>
+ <p>
+ Outgoing Diameter requests are stored in a table until an
+ answer is received or times out. Calling
+ diameter:stop_service/1 before this took place would
+ orphan the entries, resulting in a memory leak.</p>

+ Fix handling of AVP length errors on unknown AVPs.</p>
+ <p>
+ An AVP (Header) length that pointed past the end of the
+ message was not flagged as a 5014 error in this case.
+ Moreover, encoding such an AVP in the Failed-AVP of an
+ answer message as a consequence of other errors (eg.
+ M-bit, resulting in 5001) failed if the AVP contained a
+ complete header.</p>

+ Fix broken check in dictionary compilation.</p>
+ <p>
+ That an AVP specified in the content of a @codecs or
+ @custom_types section was undefined went undetected,
+ causing compilation to fail when attempting to lookup the
+ AVP's type.</p>

+ Add best-effort decode of AVPs within Failed-AVP.</p>
+ <p>
+ OTP-11007 disabled the decode of AVPs in Failed-AVP since
+ errors could cause the decode of Failed-AVP itself to
+ fail. Component AVPs are now decoded if possible,
+ otherwise not. AVPs of type Grouped are decoded as much
+ as possible, as deeply as possible.</p>

+ Add counters for encode errors in outgoing Diameter
+ messages.</p>
+ <p>
+ In addition to the existing counters on decode errors.
+ The latter now count independently of result codes in
+ answer messages since decode errors do not preclude the
+ presence of a result code.</p>
