+ o Security fixes:
+
+ - Block excess renegotiations even if they are RFC5746 compliant.
+ This mitigates potential SSL Denial of Service attacks that use
+ SSL renegotiation as a way of forcing the server to perform
+ unneeded computationally expensive SSL handshakes. Implements
+ #4312.
+
+ - Fix a bug where tor would not notice excess renegotiation
+ attempts before it received the first data SSL record. Fixes
+ part of #4312.
