    This update fixes a security issue:
    With a crafted URL that contains a newline in it, the credential helper
    machinery can be fooled to give credential information for a wrong host.
    The attack has been made impossible by forbidding a newline character in
    any value passed via the credential protocol. Credit for finding the
    vulnerability goes to Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero.

    (* Security fix *)
