- Change IP address for maatuska (v3 directory authority).
o Security fixes:
+ - Provide controllers with a safer way to implement the cookie
+ authentication mechanism. With the old method, if another locally
+ running program could convince a controller that it was the Tor
+ process, then that program could trick the contoller into telling
+ it the contents of an arbitrary 32-byte file. The new "SAFECOOKIE"
+ authentication method uses a challenge-response approach to prevent
+ this attack. Fixes bug 5185, implements proposal 193.
- Never use a bridge or a controller-supplied node as an exit, even
if its exit policy allows it. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixes bug
5342. Bugfix on 0.1.1.15-rc (for controller-purpose descriptors)
