+ o Major bugfixes (security):
+ - Resist a hashtable-based CPU denial-of-service attack against
+ relays. Previously we used a naive unkeyed hash function to look up
+ circuits in a circuitmux object. An attacker could exploit this to
+ construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs in order to try to create
+ collisions and make the hash table inefficient. Now we use a SipHash
+ construction for this hash table instead. Fixes bug 40391; bugfix on
+ 0.2.4.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-005.
