- 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).
