  possible solutions.

* Blocked unsafe user substitutions from being used in server config.

  Thanks go to GitHub user 0xHunSec for reporting this problem and

  potential fix.

* Fixed a resource leak in xauth support. Thanks go to GitHub user

  taovinci0 for reporting this problem and providing an initial version
