At the time of this email, the Red Hat security team is analyzing
potential security impacts to determine if a CVE is warranted against
libnbd; if one is assigned, a followup email will announce that
identifier.  However, even if a CVE is not assigned to libnbd, the
issues documented here warrant an audit of clients that utilize the
nbd_get_size() API from libnbd, to see if they might be subject to a
weakness when interpreting a large size as a negative value.  The
libnbd developers felt it more important to issue this security notice
prior to the release of v1.18 than to hold up the release schedule
waiting for final analysis on whether libnbd needs a CVE.

(A CVE was later assigned as CVE-2023-5215).

Please bump to 1.16.5/1.18.0.
