|       0.2.3.6-alpha.
|     - Fix a denial of service attack by which any directory authority
|       could crash all the others, or by which a single v2 directory

| tor (0.2.3.23-rc-1) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * New upstream version:
|     o Major bugfixes (security/privacy):
|       - Disable TLS session tickets. OpenSSL's implementation was giving
|         our TLS session keys the lifetime of our TLS context objects, when
|         perfect forward secrecy would want us to discard anything that
|         could decrypt a link connection as soon as the link connection
|         was closed. Fixes bug 7139; bugfix on all versions of Tor linked
|         against OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later. Found by Florent DaigniÚre.
|       - Discard extraneous renegotiation attempts once the V3 link
|         protocol has been initiated. Failure to do so left us open to
|         a remotely triggerable assertion failure. Fixes CVE-2012-2249;
|         bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Reported by "some guy from France".
|       - Fix a possible crash bug when checking for deactivated circuits
|         in connection_or_flush_from_first_active_circuit(). Fixes bug 6341;
|         bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. Bug report and fix received pseudonymously.
|     For other fixes please see the upstream changelog.
