+ o Minor bugfixes (security):
+ - Fix a potential double free bug when reading huge bandwidth files. The
+ issue is not exploitable in the current Tor network because the
+ vulnerable code is only reached when directory authorities read bandwidth
+ files, but bandwidth files come from a trusted source (usually the
+ authorities themselves). Furthermore, the issue is only exploitable in
+ rare (non-POSIX) 32-bit architectures which are not used by any of the
+ current authorities. Fixes bug 30040; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Bug found
+ and fixed by Tobias Stoeckmann.
