+ o Major bugfixes (security, denial-of-service):
+ - Fix a denial-of-service bug that could be used by anyone to consume a
+ bunch of CPU on any Tor relay or authority, or by directories to
+ consume a bunch of CPU on clients or hidden services. Because
+ of the potential for CPU consumption to introduce observable
+ timing patterns, we are treating this as a high-severity security
+ issue. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. We are also tracking
+ this issue as TROVE-2020-002.
