1.6.5 has been removed. CVE-2016-5360 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-5360): HAproxy 1.6.x before 1.6.6, when a deny comes from a reqdeny rule, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access and crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. Upstream commit verifies that the issue was introduced in 1.6-dev2:
"Commit 108b1dd ("MEDIUM: http: configurable http result codes for http-request deny") introduced in 1.6-dev2 was incomplete."
@Christian, thanks for the bump and cleanup!

From ${URL} : This is a remote denial of service against haproxy (uncontrollable crash). http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy-1.6.git;a=commit;h=60f01f8c89e4fb2723d5a9f2046286e699567e0b The problem was apparently introduced in haproxy 1.6.0, and is fixed in git (which will become 1.6.6). @maintainer(s): since the package or the affected version has never been marked as stable, we don't need to stabilize it. After the bump, please remove the affected versions from the tree.
