commit 35bf07b8d67d018f7740ca195cf8c7c86b1b4ef9 Author: Nick Mathewson nickm@torproject.org Date: Wed Oct 21 11:44:43 2015 -0400
Check for len < 4 in dn_indicates_v3_cert
Without this check, we potentially look up to 3 characters before the start of a malloc'd segment, which could provoke a crash under certain (weird afaik) circumstances.
