upgrade. Fixes CVE-2011-2768. Bugfix on FIXME; found by
frosty_un.
+ - Don't use any OR connection on which we have received a
+ CREATE_FAST cell to satisfy an EXTEND request. Previously, we
+ would not consider whether a connection appears to be from a
+ client or bridge when deciding whether to use that connection to
+ satisfy an EXTEND request. Mitigates CVE-2011-2768, by
+ preventing an attacker from determining whether an unpatched
+ client is connected to a patched relay. Bugfix on FIXME; found
+ by frosty_un.
