+Changes in version 0.2.4.25 - 2014-10-20
+  Tor 0.2.4.25 disables SSL3 in response to the recent "POODLE" attack
+  (even though POODLE does not affect Tor). It also works around a crash
+  bug caused by some operating systems' response to the "POODLE" attack
+  (which does affect Tor).
+
+  o Major security fixes (also in 0.2.5.9-rc):
+    - Disable support for SSLv3. All versions of OpenSSL in use with Tor
+      today support TLS 1.0 or later, so we can safely turn off support
+      for this old (and insecure) protocol. Fixes bug 13426.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (openssl bug workaround, also in 0.2.5.9-rc):
+    - Avoid crashing when using OpenSSL version 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0o, or
+      1.0.1j, built with the 'no-ssl3' configuration option. Fixes bug
+      13471. This is a workaround for an OpenSSL bug.
