+Changes in version 0.2.8.15 - 2017-09-18 + Tor 0.2.8.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later + Tor series. + + Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a + security bug that affects hidden services running with the + SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see + https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490 + + Note that Tor 0.2.8.x will no longer be supported after 1 Jan + 2018. We suggest that you upgrade to the latest stable release if + possible. If you can't, we recommend that you upgrade at least to + 0.2.9, which will be supported until 2020. + + o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha): + - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of + inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol() + handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug + 22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007. + + o Minor features: + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha): + - Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared + in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on + 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha): + - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This + bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are + still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes, + ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler + behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make + sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the + network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on + 0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591. + + o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha): + - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI) + configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new + developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be + better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect + to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your + Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the + repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push + your changes. Closes ticket 22636. + + Changes in version 0.2.8.14 - 2017-06-08 Tor 0.2.7.8 backports a fix for a bug that would allow an attacker to remotely crash a hidden service with an assertion failure.
