- o Security fixes:
- - When using the debuging BridgePassword field, a bridge authority
- now compares alleged passwords by hashing them, then comparing
- the result to a digest of the expected authenticator. This avoids
- a potential side-channel attack in the previous code, which
- had foolishly used strcmp(). Fortunately, the BridgePassword field
- *is not in use*, but if it had been, the timing
- behavior of strcmp() might have allowed an adversary to guess the
- BridgePassword value, and enumerate the bridges. Bugfix on
- 0.2.0.14-alpha. Fixes bug 5543.
