Comment (by teor):

 This is a general case of the bug reported in #8976.

 From IRC:
 {{{
 teor
 we believe whatever address and port are sent to us in rendezvous protocol
 versions 2 & 3

 dgoulet
 oh rly!?

 teor
 without checking the consensus

 dgoulet
 I vaguely remember being a feature of tor that is being able to exit at an
 address that is _not_ an exit

 teor
 So for HS, this means that a three-hop circuit can be made to an arbitrary
 address

 dgoulet
 (or not in consensus)

 teor
 For RSOS, this means that a one-hop circuit can be made to an arbitrary
 address
 In either case, there should be a check for a private address

 asn
 i thought this was fixed by robert at some point

 teor
 Facebook's logs suggest it has not been, and I can't see it in the code

 asn
 but i see how it's worse for RSOS

 teor
 Certainly Tor will refuse to send cells, but it will still connect
 I don't think we need that feature, unless we sometimes connect to
 ourselves
 I think Robert fixed it by refusing to send cells to extend to a private
 address
 Which doesn't handle the RSOS one-hop case, or any other case where Tor
 connects directly to a private address
