+ o Major bugfixes (security):
+ - Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a malformed
+ directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while OpenSSL would
+ try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (If the terminal was not
+ available, tor would continue running.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on
+ every version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and
+ CVE-2017-8821. Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
