This function is supposed to construct a list of all the ciphers in the "v2 link protocol cipher list" that are supported by Tor's openssl. It does this by invoking ssl23_get_cipher_by_char on each two-byte ciphersuite ID to see which ones give a match. But when ssl23_get_cipher_by_char cannot find a match for a two-byte SSL3/TLS ciphersuite ID, it checks to see whether it has a match for a three-byte SSL2 ciphersuite ID. This was causing a read off the end of the 'cipherid' array. This was probably harmless in practice, but we shouldn't be having any uninitialized reads. (Using ssl23_get_cipher_by_char in this way is a kludge, but then again the entire existence of the v2 link protocol is kind of a kludge. Once Tor 0.2.2 clients are all gone, we can drop this code entirely.) Found by starlight. Fix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Fixes bug 12227.
