Tor stable release 0.4.5.16 and 0.4.7.13
by David Goulet 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Greetings, We have just released 2 new stable (0.4.5 and 0.4.7 series). Announcement: https://forum.torproject.net/t/stable-release-0-4-5-16-and-0-4-7-13/6216 ChangeLog for both are below. Cheers! David Changes in version 0.4.7.13 - 2023-01-12 This version contains three major bugfixes, two for relays and one for client being a security fix, TROVE-2022-002. We have added, for Linux, the support for IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT for relays using OutboundBindAddress. We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version considering the important congestion control fix detailed below. o Major bugfixes (congestion control): - Avoid incrementing the congestion window when the window is not fully in use. Thia prevents overshoot in cases where long periods of low activity would allow our congestion window to grow, and then get followed by a burst, which would cause queue overload. Also improve the increment checks for RFC3742. Fixes bug 40732; bugfix on 0.4.7.5-alpha. o Major bugfixes (relay): - When opening a channel because of a circuit request that did not include an Ed25519 identity, record the Ed25519 identity that we actually received, so that we can use the channel for other circuit requests that _do_ list an Ed25519 identity. (Previously we had code to record this identity, but a logic bug caused it to be disabled.) Fixes bug 40563; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks". o Major bugfixes (TROVE-2022-002, client): - The SafeSocks option had its logic inverted for SOCKS4 and SOCKS4a. It would let the unsafe SOCKS4 pass but not the safe SOCKS4a one. This is TROVE-2022-002 which was reported on Hackerone by "cojabo". Fixes bug 40730; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor feature (authority): - Reject 0.4.6.x series at the authority level. Closes ticket 40664. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on January 12, 2023. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2023/01/12. o Minor features (relays): - Set the Linux-specific IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT option on outgoing sockets, allowing relays using OutboundBindAddress to make more outgoing connections than ephemeral ports, as long as they are to separate destinations. Related to issue 40597; patch by Alex Xu (Hello71). o Minor bugfixes (relay, metrics): - Fix typo in a congestion control label on the MetricsPort. Fixes bug 40727; bugfix on 0.4.7.12. o Minor bugfixes (sandbox, authority): - With the sandbox enabled, allow to write "my-consensus- {ns|microdesc}" and to rename them as well. Fixes bug 40729; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Code simplifications and refactoring: - Rely on actual error returned by the kernel when choosing what resource exhaustion to log. Fixes issue 40613; Fix on tor-0.4.6.1-alpha. Changes in version 0.4.5.16 - 2023-01-12 This version has one major bugfix for relay and a security fix, TROVE-2022-002, affecting clients. We strongly recommend to upgrade to our 0.4.7.x stable series. As a reminder, this series is EOL on February 15th, 2023. o Major bugfixes (relay): - When opening a channel because of a circuit request that did not include an Ed25519 identity, record the Ed25519 identity that we actually received, so that we can use the channel for other circuit requests that _do_ list an Ed25519 identity. (Previously we had code to record this identity, but a logic bug caused it to be disabled.) Fixes bug 40563; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.

New Release: Tor Browser 12.0.1 (Android, Windows, macOS, Linux)
by Giorgio Maone 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Hello everyone, Tor Browser 12.0.1 is now available from the Tor Browser download page <https://www.torproject.org/download/> and also from our distribution directory <https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0.1/>. This release updates Firefox to 102.6, including bug fixes, stability improvements and important security updates <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2022-52/>. We've fixed a regression in our drag and drop protection, whose hardening disrupted some interface interactions, and most notably rearranging bookmarks by dragging them around. We'd like to thank poncho for fixing another regression causing the |TOR_SOCKS_IPC_PATH| environment variable to be ignored. Blog post with changelog here <https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1201/>. Have a nice weekend and a happy holiday season :) -- ma1

[RELEASE] 0.4.5.15 and 0.4.7.12
by David Goulet 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Greetings, We just released two stable releases: https://forum.torproject.net/t/stable-release-0-4-5-15-and-0-4-7-12/5800 The ChangeLog for both is attached below. Cheers! David Changes in version 0.4.7.12 - 2022-12-06 This version contains a major change that is a new key for moria1. Also, new metrics are exported on the MetricsPort for the congestion control subsystem. o Directory authority changes (moria1): - Rotate the relay identity key and v3 identity key for moria1. They have been online for more than a decade and refreshing keys periodically is good practice. Advertise new ports too, to avoid confusion. Closes ticket 40722. o Minor feature (Congestion control metrics): - Add additional metricsport relay metrics for congestion control. Closes ticket 40724. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on December 06, 2022. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2022/12/06. o Minor bugfixes (cpuworker, relay): - Fix an off by one overload calculation on the number of CPUs being used by our thread pool. Fixes bug 40719; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Changes in version 0.4.5.15 - 2022-12-06 This version has several major changes for directory authorities. And a major bugfix on OSX. Again, we strongly recommend to upgrade to our 0.4.7.x series latest stable. This series is EOL on February 15th, 2023. o Directory authority changes (dizum): - Change dizum IP address. Closes ticket 40687. o Directory authority changes (Faravahar): - Remove Faravahar until its operator, Sina, set it back up online outside of Team Cymru network. Closes ticket 40688. o Directory authority changes (moria1): - Rotate the relay identity key and v3 identity key for moria1. They have been online for more than a decade and refreshing keys periodically is good practice. Advertise new ports too, to avoid confusion. Closes ticket 40722. o Major bugfixes (OSX): - Fix coarse-time computation on Apple platforms (like Mac M1) where the Mach absolute time ticks do not correspond directly to nanoseconds. Previously, we computed our shift value wrong, which led us to give incorrect timing results. Fixes bug 40684; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. o Major bugfixes (relay): - Improve security of our DNS cache by randomly clipping the TTL value. TROVE-2021-009.

New Alpha Release: Tor Browser 12.0a5 (Android, Windows, macOS, Linux)
by Richard Pospesel 01 Dec '22

01 Dec '22

Tor Browser 12.0a5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory: - https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/12.0a5/ Tor Browser 12.0a5 updates Firefox on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux to 102.5.0esr. This version includes important security updates to Firefox and GeckoView. Tor Browser 12.0a5 backports the following security updates from Firefox 107 to Firefox ESR 102.5 on Android: CVE-2022-45413: SameSite=Strict cookies could have been sent cross-site via intent URLs # Major Changes since 11.5 This is the final planned alpha release before 12.0 stable. We have made a lot of changes over the past several months both large and small, and would like to encourage alpha users to test the following features and report any issues you discover. ## Universal macOS packages This is the first universal package release of Tor Browser for macOS. Now Tor Browser should run natively for macOS users, regardless of whether they are running on older x86_64 devices or on newer Apple M1 aarch64 devices. **What to test:** Users with existing x86_64 macOS installs should receive an automatic update to the new universal package without any loss of functionality. The universal dmg downloaded from the Tor Project website should continue to work for macOS users on both x86_64 and aarch64 platforms. We would also appreciate if macOS users attempted a build-to-build upgrade from an older version of Tor Browser Alpha to help us validate this update path. Once installed, macOS users using aarch64-based Macs (i.e. those with Apple Silicon) can verify whether Tor Browser is running natively by following these steps: 1. Open the Activity Monitor 2. Search for "Tor Browser" within the CPU tab. 3. Should Tor Browser read "Apple" under the Kind column, you are successfully running the native Apple Silicon build. ## Multi-locale bundles (Desktop) As of Tor Browser 12.0a4, all supported languages are now included in a single bundle, and can be changed without requiring additional downloads via the Language menu in General settings on the about:preferences page. **What to test:** Tor Browser Alpha should default to your system language on first launch if it matches a language we support. Alpha testers are also encouraged to test changing language within about:preferences#general, and to report any new bugs with localization in general (in particular instances of 'Firefox' appearing instead of 'Tor Browser' or other similar branding issues). We would also appreciate if users on all our Desktop platforms attempted a build-to-build upgrade from an older version of Tor Browser Alpha to help us validate the update path. ## Unified Español locale (Desktop and Android) Previous versions of Tor Browser Alpha were available in both "es" and "es-AR" (Español Argentina) locales. As of Tor Browser, 12.0a4 these have been unified into a single Spanish locale instead. **What to test:** Alpha testers who use the "es-AR" locale should be automatically switched to "es-ES" after updating. ## New supported locales (Ukranian and Albanian) We have added support for both Ukranian and Albanian languages. **What to test:** Alpha testers who use the "uk" and "sq" locales should try them on both Desktop (using the language picker in about:preferences#general) and Android (using the options in Settings > Language). ## tor-launcher migration (Desktop) Parts of the code that power tor-launcher – which starts tor within Tor Browser – have been refactored. Although this work doesn't include any changes to the user experience, those who run non-standard Tor Browser setups are encouraged to test 12.0a5 on their systems. **What to test:** Alpha testers who run non-standard Tor Browser setups (including, but not limited to, those who use system tor in conjunction with Tor Browser and those with specific network and bridge settings) should test starting and connecting to Tor, and report any unexpected error messages they encounter. All of the previously supported environment variables should still behave the same way as in the stable series. ## Onion Auth fixes (Desktop) Tor Browser 12.0a4 included two fixes to Onion Service client authorization: 1. A fix to the auth window itself, which was broken in Alpha due to a regression caused by the esr102 transition: tor-browser#41344 2. Another fix to a longstanding issue with Onion Auth failing on subdomains, which has also been backported to 11.5.5: tor-browser#40465 **What to test:** Accessing client authorized Onion Services on both top-level and subdomains. ## Always prioritize .onion sites (Android) Android users can now enable automatic Onion-Location redirects by switching "Prioritize .onion sites" within Privacy and Security settings. However, we have not yet implemented the url bar UI which we have in Tor Browser for Desktop. **What to test:** Enable "Prioritize .onion sites" within settings, visit a website that supports Onion-Location, and verify that you were redirected to the website's .onion address. The full changelog since Tor Browser 12.0a4 is: All Platforms Update Translations Update OpenSSL to 1.1.1s Update NoScript to 11.4.13 Update tor to 0.4.7.11 Update zlib to 1.2.13 Bug tor-browser#17228: Consideration for disabling/trimming referrers within TBB Bug tor-browser#27258: font whitelist means we don't have to set gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay Bug tor-browser#40183: Consider disabling TLS ciphersuites containing SHA-1 Bug tor-browser-build#40622: Update obfs4proxy to 0.0.14 in Tor Browser Bug tor-browser-build#40674: Add Secondary Snowflake Bridge Bug tor-browser#40783: Review 000-tor-browser.js and 001-base-profile.js for 102 Bug tor-browser#41406: Do not define --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries if WASI_SYSROOT is defined Bug tor-browser#41420: Remove brand.dtd customization on nightly Bug tor-browser#41457: Remove more Mozilla permissions Bug tor-browser#41460: Migrate new identity and security level preferences in 11.5.8 Bug tor-browser#41473: Add support for Albanian (sq) Windows + macOS + Linux Update Firefox to 102.5.0esr Bug tor-browser#31064: Letterboxing is enabled in priviledged contexts too Bug tor-browser#31821: reapply window.open() clamping Bug tor-browser#32411: Consider adding about:tor and others to the list of pages that do not need letterboxing Bug tor-browser#40081: Letterboxing since 32220 affected by layout.css.devPixelsPerPx Bug tor-browser#40767: 1px white border visible on fullscreen video playback Bug tor-browser#41293: Incomplete branding in German with 12.0a2 Bug tor-browser#41378: Inform users when Tor Browser sets their language automatically Bug tor-browser#41409: Circuit display is broken on Tails Bug tor-browser#41410: Opening and closing HTTPS-Only settings make the identity panel shrink Bug tor-browser#41412: New Identity shows "Tor Browser" instead of "Restart Tor Browser" in unstranslated locales Bug tor-browser#41417: Prompt users to restart after changing language Bug tor-browser#41429: TorConnect and TorSettings are initialized twice Bug tor-browser#41433: Should letterboxing take in account optional components' heights?

Tor stable release 0.4.7.11
by David Goulet 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Greetings, We just released the latest stable tor 0.4.7.11. As usual, we strongly recommend you upgrade. Announcement: https://forum.torproject.net/t/stable-release-0-4-7-11/5501 ChangeLog: Changes in version 0.4.7.11 - 2022-11-10 This version contains several major fixes aimed at helping defend against network denial of service. It is also extending drastically the MetricsPort for relays to help us gather more internal data to investigate performance and attacks. We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version especially for Exit relays in order to help the network defend against this ongoing DDoS. o Directory authority changes (dizum, Faravahar): - Change dizum IP address. Closes ticket 40687. - Remove Faravahar until its operator, Sina, set it back up online outside of Team Cymru network. Closes ticket 40688. o Major bugfixes (geoip data): - IPFire informed us on August 12th that databases generated after (including) August 10th did not have proper ARIN network allocations. We are updating the database to use the one generated on August 9th, 2022. Fixes bug 40658; bugfix on 0.4.5.13. o Major bugfixes (onion service): - Set a much higher circuit build timeout for opened client rendezvous circuit. Before this, tor would time them out very quickly leading to unnecessary retries meaning more load on the network. Fixes bug 40694; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Major bugfixes (OSX): - Fix coarse-time computation on Apple platforms (like Mac M1) where the Mach absolute time ticks do not correspond directly to nanoseconds. Previously, we computed our shift value wrong, which led us to give incorrect timing results. Fixes bug 40684; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. o Major bugfixes (relay): - Improve security of our DNS cache by randomly clipping the TTL value. TROVE-2021-009. Fixes bug 40674; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor feature (Mac and iOS build): - Change how combine_libs works on Darwin like platforms to make sure we don't include any `__.SYMDEF` and `__.SYMDEF SORTED` symbols on the archive before we repack and run ${RANLIB} on the archive. This fixes a build issue with recent Xcode versions on Mac Silicon and iOS. Closes ticket 40683. o Minor feature (metrics): - Add various congestion control counters to the MetricsPort. Closes ticket 40708. o Minor feature (performance): - Bump the maximum amount of CPU that can be used from 16 to 128. Note that NumCPUs torrc option overrides this hardcoded maximum. Fixes bug 40703; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor feature (relay): - Make an hardcoded value for the maximum of per CPU tasks into a consensus parameter. - Two new consensus parameters are added to control the wait time in queue of the onionskins. One of them is the torrc MaxOnionQueueDelay options which supersedes the consensus parameter. Closes ticket 40704. o Minor feature (relay, DoS): - Apply circuit creation anti-DoS defenses if the outbound circuit max cell queue size is reached too many times. This introduces two new consensus parameters to control the queue size limit and number of times allowed to go over that limit. Closes ticket 40680. o Minor feature (relay, metrics): - Add DoS defenses counter to MetricsPort. - Add congestion control RTT reset counter to MetricsPort. - Add counters to the MetricsPort how many connections, per type, are currently opened and how many were created. - Add relay flags from the consensus to the MetricsPort. - Add total number of opened circuits to MetricsPort. - Add total number of streams seen by an Exit to the MetricsPort. - Add traffic stats as in number of read/written bytes in total. - Related to ticket 40194. o Minor features (fallbackdir): - Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 10, 2022. o Minor features (geoip data): - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as retrieved on 2022/11/10. o Minor bugfixes (authorities, sandbox): - Allow to write file my-consensus-<flavor-name> to disk when sandbox is activated. Fixes bug 40663; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (dirauth): - Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other roles. In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a "MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the bandwidth authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for posterity. Lastly, remove the AuthDirDontVoteOnDirAuthBandwidth torrc option which never worked right. Fixes bugs 40698 and 40700; bugfix on 0.4.7.2-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (onion service client): - A collapsing onion service circuit should be seen as an "unreachable" error so it can be retried. Fixes bug 40692; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (onion service): - Make the service retry a rendezvous if the circuit is being repurposed for measurements. Fixes bug 40696; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. o Minor bugfixes (relay overload statistics): - Count total create cells vs dropped create cells properly, when assessing if our fraction of dropped cells is too high. We only count non-client circuits in the denominator, but we would include client circuits in the numerator, leading to surprising log lines claiming that we had dropped more than 100% of incoming create cells. Fixes bug 40673; bugfix on 0.4.7.1-alpha. o Code simplification and refactoring (bridges): - Remove unused code related to ExtPort connection ID. Fixes bug 40648; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Cheers!
