X-Git-Tag: allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0a2~45
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/quickstart.html?a=commitdiff_plain;h=20e2910c616531c9e4c8903c606c25af65bcf824;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

immutable: prevent clients from reading past the end of share data, which would allow them to learn the cancellation secret
Declare explicitly that we prevent this problem in the server's version dict.
fixes #1528 (there are two patches that are each a sufficient fix to #1528 and this is one of them)
