     Priority:  Medium        |  Milestone:  Tor: 0.3.2.x-final
    Component:  Core Tor/Tor  |    Version:
     Severity:  Normal        |   Keywords:  tor-spec security

------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In general, it's unsafe to compress attacker-controlled data and secret
 data together in the same blocks, because attackers can use compressed
 data size to discover the secret (as in the CRIME attack).

 Discovered as part of #22948.
