+ o Major bugfixes (parsing, security):
+
+ - Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
+ byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be
+ used to cause hardened clients (built with
+ --enable-expensive-hardening) to crash if they tried to visit
+ a hostile hidden service. Non-hardened clients are only
+ affected depending on the details of their platform's memory
+ allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by
+ using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE-2016-12-002 and as
+ CVE-2016-1254.
