+  o Security fixes:
+
+    - Reject CREATE and CREATE_FAST cells on outgoing OR connections
+      from a bridge to a relay.  Previously, we would accept them and
+      handle them normally, thereby allowing a malicious relay to
+      easily distinguish bridges which connect to it from clients.
+      Fixes CVE-2011-2769.  Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha, when bridges were
+      implemented; found by frosty_un.
