     - Try to leak less information about what relays a client is
       choosing to a side-channel attacker.  Previously, a Tor client
       would stop iterating through the list of available relays as
-      soon as it had chosen one, thus leaking information about which
-      relays it picked for a circuit to a timing attack.  (Tor is
-      likely to still leak information about which relays it has
-      chosen for a circuit to other processes on the same computer,
-      through e.g. which cache lines it loads while building the
-      circuit.)

+      soon as it had chosen one, thus finishing a little earlier
+      when it picked a router earlier in the list.  If an attacker
+      can recover this timing information (nontrivial but not
+      proven to be impossible), they could learn some coarse-
+      grained information about which relays a client was picking
+      (middle nodes in particular are likelier to be affected than
+      exits).  The timing attack might be mitigated by other factors
+      (see bug #6537 for some discussion), but it's best not to
+      take chances.  Fixes bug 6537; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
