All relay operators running earlier 0.3.2.x + versions should upgrade. This version also includes a mitigation for + over-full DESTROY queues leading to out-of-memory conditions: if it + works, we will soon backport it to earlier release series. + + This is the second release candidate in the 0.3.2 series. If we find + no new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.2 release + will be nearly identical to this. + + o Major bugfixes (KIST, scheduler): + - The KIST scheduler did not correctly account for data already + enqueued in each connection's send socket buffer, particularly in + cases when the TCP/IP congestion window was reduced between + scheduler calls. This situation lead to excessive per-connection + buffering in the kernel, and a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug + 24665; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden service v3): + - Bump hsdir_spread_store parameter from 3 to 4 in order to increase + the probability of reaching a service for a client missing + microdescriptors. Fixes bug 24425; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory usage): + - When queuing DESTROY cells on a channel, only queue the circuit-id + and reason fields: not the entire 514-byte cell. This fix should + help mitigate any bugs or attacks that fill up these queues, and + free more RAM for other uses. Fixes bug 24666; bugfix + on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST): + - Use a sane write limit for KISTLite when writing onto a connection + buffer instead of using INT_MAX and shoving as much as it can. + Because the OOM handler cleans up circuit queues, we are better + off at keeping them in that queue instead of the connection's + buffer. Fixes bug 24671; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + Changes in version 0.3.2.7-rc - 2017-12-14 Tor 0.3.2.7-rc fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor, including some that could affect reliability or correctness.
