+ - Don't use any OR connection on which we have received a + CREATE_FAST cell to satisfy an EXTEND request. Previously, we + would not consider whether a connection appears to be from a + client or bridge when deciding whether to use that connection to + satisfy an EXTEND request. Mitigates CVE-2011-2768, by + preventing an attacker from determining whether an unpatched + client is connected to a patched relay.
