+    - 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.  Bugfix on FIXME; found
+      by frosty_un.
