+ o Security fixes:
+
+ - Don't send TLS certificate chains on outgoing OR connections
+ from clients and bridges. Previously, each client or bridge
+ would use a single cert chain for all outgoing OR connections
+ for up to 24 hours, which allowed any relay connected to by a
+ client or bridge to determine which entry guards it is using.
+ This is a potential user-tracing bug for *all* users; everyone
+ who uses Tor's client or hidden service functionality should
+ 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.

+ o Security fixes:
+
+ - Reject CREATE and CREATE_FAST cells on outgoing OR connections
+ from a bridge to a relay. Previously, we would accept them and
+ handle them normally, thereby allowing a malicious relay to
+ easily distinguish bridges which connect to it from clients.
+ Fixes CVE-2011-2769. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha, when bridges were
+ implemented; found by frosty_un.
