+Changes in version 0.2.6.7 - 2015-04-06
+ Tor 0.2.6.7 fixes two security issues that could be used by an
+ attacker to crash hidden services, or crash clients visiting hidden
+ services. Hidden services should upgrade as soon as possible; clients
+ should upgrade whenever packages become available.
+
+ This release also contains two simple improvements to make hidden
+ services a bit less vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (security, hidden service):
+ - Fix an issue that would allow a malicious client to trigger an
+ assertion failure and halt a hidden service. Fixes bug 15600;
+ bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha. Reported by "skruffy".
+ - Fix a bug that could cause a client to crash with an assertion
+ failure when parsing a malformed hidden service descriptor. Fixes
+ bug 15601; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by "DonnCha".
+
+ o Minor features (DoS-resistance, hidden service):
+ - Make it harder for attackers to overwhelm hidden services with
+ introductions, by blocking multiple introduction requests on the
+ same circuit. Resolves ticket #15515.
+ - Decrease the amount of reattempts that a hidden service is willing
+ to perform when its rendezvous circuits fail. This reduces the
+ computational cost for hidden service under heavy load. Resolves
+ ticket #11447.
