+ o Major bugfixes (security, defense-in-depth):
+ - Detect a wider variety of failure conditions from the OpenSSL RNG
+ code. Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG
+ implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself.
+ Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice
+ when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation.
+ Fixes bug 40390; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as
+ TROVE-2021-004. Reported by Jann Horn at Google's Project Zero.
