[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.3.0] Consider the exit family when applying guard restrictions.

commit 665baf5ed5c6186d973c46cdea165c0548027350

    Consider the exit family when applying guard restrictions.
    
    When the new path selection logic went into place, I accidentally
    dropped the code that considered the _family_ of the exit node when
    deciding if the guard was usable, and we didn't catch that during
    code review.
    
    This patch makes the guard_restriction_t code consider the exit
    family as well, and adds some (hopefully redundant) checks for the
    case where we lack a node_t for a guard but we have a bridge_info_t
    for it.
    
    Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked as TROVE-2016-006
    and CVE-2017-0377.

+  o Major bugfixes (path selection, security):
+    - When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the
+      exit's family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new
+      guard selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider
+      its family.  Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked
