- BLURB HERE. + It includes an important security fix for a remote crash attack + against directory authorities, tracked as TROVE-2018-001. + + Additionally, it backports a fix for a bug whose severity we have + upgraded: Bug 24700, which was fixed in 0.3.3.2-alpha, can be remotely + triggered in order to crash relays with a use-after-free pattern. As + such, we are now tracking that bug as TROVE-2018-002 and + CVE-2018-0491, and backporting it to earlier releases. This bug + affected versions 0.3.2.1-alpha through 0.3.2.9, as well as version + 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + This release also backports our new system for improved resistance to + denial-of-service attacks against relays. + + This release also fixes several minor bugs and annoyances from + earlier releases. + + All directory authorities should upgrade to one of the versions + released today. All relays not already running Tor 0.3.3.2-alpha or + later should upgrade to this release. + + o Major bugfixes (denial-of-service, directory authority, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha): + - Fix a protocol-list handling bug that could be used to remotely crash + directory authorities with a null-pointer exception. Fixes bug 25074; + bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2018-001 and + CVE-2018-0490. + + o Major bugfixes (scheduler, KIST, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha): + - Avoid adding the same channel twice in the KIST scheduler pending + list, which could lead to remote denial-of-service use-after-free + attacks against relays. Fixes bug 24700; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
