+ o Major features (security fixes):
+ - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
+ of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
+ least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
+ versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
+ most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
+ hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
+ though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
+ 20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).

+ o Major bugfixes (parsing):
+ - Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor versions.
+ This bug is harmless, except when Tor has been built with
+ --enable-expensive-hardening, which would turn it into a crash;
+ or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor 0.2.9.8, which were built with
+ -ftrapv by default.
+ Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix on
+ 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
