o Major security workaround:
- When building or running with any version of OpenSSL earlier
than 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f, disable SSLv3 support. These versions had
a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher padding
included uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive
information to any peer with whom they made a SSLv3
connection. Tor does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile
client or server could force an SSLv3 connection in order to
gain information that they shouldn't have been able to get. The
best solution here is to upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or
later). But when building or running with a non-upgraded
OpenSSL, we should instead make sure that the bug can't happen
by disabling SSLv3 entirely.
