 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.10.3] - 2026-02-06
+
+### Security
+
+- Fix an issue where blocklist bypass is possible when using curve P256 since the signature can have 2 valid representations.
+  Both fingerprint representations will be tested against the blocklist.
+  Any newly issued P256 based certificates will have their signature clamped to the low-s form.
+  Nebula will assert the low-s signature form when validating certificates in a future version. [GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/security/advisories/GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962)

+- Improve error reporting if nebula fails to start due to a tun device naming issue. (#1588)

+**Don't want to manage your own PKI and lighthouses?** [Managed Nebula](https://www.defined.net/) from Defined Networking handles all of this for you.

 To set up a Nebula network, you'll need:
 
 #### 1. The [Nebula binaries](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/releases) or [Distribution Packages](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula#distribution-packages) for your specific platform. Specifically you'll need `nebula-cert` and the specific nebula binary for each platform you use.
