+Changes in version 0.4.1.9 - 2020-03-18 + Tor 0.4.1.9 backports important fixes from later Tor releases, + including a fix for TROVE-2020-002, a major denial-of-service + vulnerability that affected all released Tor instances since + 0.2.1.5-alpha. Using this vulnerability, an attacker could cause Tor + instances to consume a huge amount of CPU, disrupting their operations + for several seconds or minutes. This attack could be launched by + anybody against a relay, or by a directory cache against any client + that had connected to it. The attacker could launch this attack as + much as they wanted, thereby disrupting service or creating patterns + that could aid in traffic analysis. This issue was found by OSS-Fuzz, + and is also tracked as CVE-2020-10592. + + We do not have reason to believe that this attack is currently being + exploited in the wild, but nonetheless we advise everyone to upgrade + as soon as packages are available. + + o Major bugfixes (security, denial-of-service, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Fix a denial-of-service bug that could be used by anyone to + consume a bunch of CPU on any Tor relay or authority, or by + directories to consume a bunch of CPU on clients or hidden + services. Because of the potential for CPU consumption to + introduce observable timing patterns, we are treating this as a + high-severity security issue. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on + 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz. We are also tracking this issue + as TROVE-2020-002 and CVE-2020-10592. + + o Major bugfixes (circuit padding, memory leak, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Avoid a remotely triggered memory leak in the case that a circuit + padding machine is somehow negotiated twice on the same circuit. + Fixes bug 33619; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. Found by Tobias Pulls. + This is also tracked as TROVE-2020-004 and CVE-2020-10593. + + o Minor bugfixes (bridges, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha): + - Lowercase the configured value of BridgeDistribution before adding + it to the descriptor. Fixes bug 32753; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha): + - If we encounter a bug when flushing a buffer to a TLS connection, + only log the bug once per invocation of the Tor process. + Previously we would log with every occurrence, which could cause + us to run out of disk space. Fixes bug 33093; bugfix + on 0.3.2.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services v3, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Fix an assertion failure that could result from a corrupted + ADD_ONION control port command. Found by Saibato. Fixes bug 33137; + bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked + as TROVE-2020-003. + + o Minor bugfixes (rust, build, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha): + - Fix a syntax warning given by newer versions of Rust that was + creating problems for our continuous integration. Fixes bug 33212; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Testing (Travis CI, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha): + - Remove a redundant distcheck job. Closes ticket 33194. + - Sort the Travis jobs in order of speed: putting the slowest jobs + first takes full advantage of Travis job concurrency. Closes + ticket 33194. + - Stop allowing the Chutney IPv6 Travis job to fail. This job was + previously configured to fast_finish (which requires + allow_failure), to speed up the build. Closes ticket 33195. + - When a Travis chutney job fails, use chutney's new "diagnostics.sh" + tool to produce detailed diagnostic output. Closes ticket 32792. + + Changes in version 0.4.1.8 - 2020-01-30 This release backports several bugfixes from later release series, including some that had affected the Linux seccomp2 sandbox or Windows
