[RELEASE] Tor 0.4.8.21 stable
by David Goulet 18 Nov '25

18 Nov '25

Greetings, We have another stable fixing more security issues. See announcement: https://forum.torproject.org/t/stable-release-0-4-8-21/20817 Here is the ChangeLog. Changes in version 0.4.8.21 - 2025-11-17 This release is a continuation of the previous one and addresses additional Conflux-related issues identified through further testing and feedback from relay operators. We strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible. o Major bugfixes (conflux, exit): - When dequeuing out-of-order conflux cells, the circuit could be close in between two dequeue which could lead to a mishandling of a NULL pointer. Fixes bug 41162; bugfix on 0.4.8.4. o Minor feature (compiler flag): - Add -mbranch-protection=standard for arm64. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 17, 2025. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2025/11/17. o Minor bugfixes (bridges, pluggable transport): - Fix a bug causing the initial tor process to hang intead of exiting with RunAsDaemon, when pluggable transports are used. Fixes bug 41088; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha. Cheers! David -- DKF8td80doiu+vmXr1f3qf84hR+DbmSu+T/Ll1tDT0k=
