-  o Major features (security fixes):
-    - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
-      of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
-      least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
-      versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
-      most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
-      hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
-      though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
-      20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).
