+Changes in version 0.2.9.10 - 2017-03-01 + Tor 0.2.9.10 backports a security fix from later Tor release.

Instead, only reject a port over IPv6 if the + exit policy rejects that port on more than an IPv6 /16 of + addresses. This bug was made worse by 17027 in 0.2.8.1-alpha, + which rejected a relay's own IPv6 address by default. Fixes bug + 21357; bugfix on commit 004f3f4e53 in 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (parsing, also in 0.3.0.4-rc): + - Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor + versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with + --enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor + 0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases + it was harmless.
