Anybody running Tor 0.2.6.10 or earlier should upgrade to + this release, if for some reason they cannot upgrade to a later + release series. + + Note that support for Tor 0.2.6.x is ending next year: we will not issue + any fixes for the Tor 0.2.6.x series after 1 August 2017. If you need + a Tor release series with longer-term support, we recommend Tor 0.2.9.x. + + o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.8.5-rc): + - Urras is no longer a directory authority. Closes ticket 19271. + + o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.9.2-alpha): + - The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge + authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690. + + o Directory authority key updates (backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha): + - Update the V3 identity key for the dannenberg directory authority: + it was changed on 18 November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch + by "teor". + + o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha): + - Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248; + bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks". + + o Minor features (bug-resistance, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha): + - Make Tor survive errors involving connections without a + corresponding event object. Previously we'd fail with an + assertion; now we produce a log message. Related to bug 16248. + + o Major bugfixes (security, correctness, backport from 0.2.7.4-rc): + - Fix an error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before the + beginning of an openssl string. This bug could be used to cause + Tor to crash on systems with unusual malloc implementations, or + systems with unusual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix + on 0.2.3.6-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (guard selection, backport from 0.2.7.6): + - Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory + guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we + accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard + flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse + performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered + by Mohsen Imani. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.2.7.6) + - Fix a compilation warning with Clang 3.6: Do not check the + presence of an address which can never be NULL. Fixes bug 17781. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor features (security, memory erasure, backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha): + - Make memwipe() do nothing when passed a NULL pointer or buffer of + zero size. Check size argument to memwipe() for underflow. Fixes + bug 18089; bugfix on 0.2.3.25 and 0.2.4.6-alpha. Reported by "gk", + patch by "teor". + + o Major bugfixes (security, pointers, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha): + - Avoid a difficult-to-trigger heap corruption attack when extending + a smartlist to contain over 16GB of pointers. Fixes bug 18162; + bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha, which fixed a related bug incompletely. + Reported by Guido Vranken. + + o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha): + - Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort + received a query with multiple address types, and the first + address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial. + Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + + o Major features (security fixes, backport from 0.2.9.4-alpha): + - Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents + of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At + least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used + versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash + most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler + hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor, + though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket + 20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001). + + o Major bugfixes (parsing, security, backport from 0.2.9.8): + - Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single + byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used + to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening) + to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non- + hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of + their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on + 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE- + 2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254. + + o Major bugfixes (key management, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha): + - If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling + pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here + should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is + running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or + if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on + 0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and + Baishakhi Ray. + + o Major bugfixes (parsing, also in 0.3.0.4-rc): + - Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor versions. + This bug is harmless, except when Tor has been built with + --enable-expensive-hardening, which would turn it into a crash; + or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor 0.2.9.8, which were built with + -ftrapv by default. + Part of TROVE-2017-001.
