Closes ticket 6892. +Changes in version 0.3.0.8 - 2017-06-08 + Tor 0.3.0.8 fixes a pair of bugs that would allow an attacker to + remotely crash a hidden service with an assertion failure. Anyone + running a hidden service should upgrade to this version, or to some + other version with fixes for TROVE-2017-004 and TROVE-2017-005. + + Tor 0.3.0.8 also includes fixes for several key management bugs + that sometimes made relays unreliable, as well as several other + bugfixes described below. + + o Major bugfixes (hidden service, relay, security, backport + from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure when a hidden service + handles a malformed BEGIN cell. Fixes bug 22493, tracked as + TROVE-2017-004 and as CVE-2017-0375; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure caused by receiving a + BEGIN_DIR cell on a hidden service rendezvous circuit. Fixes bug + 22494, tracked as TROVE-2017-005 and CVE-2017-0376; bugfix + on 0.2.2.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, link handshake, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - When performing the v3 link handshake on a TLS connection, report + that we have the x509 certificate that we actually used on that + connection, even if we have changed certificates since that + connection was first opened. Previously, we would claim to have + used our most recent x509 link certificate, which would sometimes + make the link handshake fail. Fixes one case of bug 22460; bugfix + on 0.2.3.6-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (relays, key management, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - Regenerate link and authentication certificates whenever the key + that signs them changes; also, regenerate link certificates + whenever the signed key changes. Previously, these processes were + only weakly coupled, and we relays could (for minutes to hours) + wind up with an inconsistent set of keys and certificates, which + other relays would not accept. Fixes two cases of bug 22460; + bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - When sending an Ed25519 signing->link certificate in a CERTS cell, + send the certificate that matches the x509 certificate that we + used on the TLS connection. Previously, there was a race condition + if the TLS context rotated after we began the TLS handshake but + before we sent the CERTS cell. Fixes a case of bug 22460; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (hidden service v3, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha): + - Stop rejecting v3 hidden service descriptors because their size + did not match an old padding rule. Fixes bug 22447; bugfix on + tor-0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - Replace the 177 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.2.9.8 in + December 2016 (of which ~126 were still functional) with a list of + 151 fallbacks (32 new, 119 unchanged, 58 removed) generated in May + 2017. Resolves ticket 21564. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha): + - Do not crash when starting with LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0. Fixes + bug 22252; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (correctness, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - Avoid undefined behavior when parsing IPv6 entries from the geoip6 + file. Fixes bug 22490; bugfix on 0.2.4.6-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (link handshake, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha): + - Lower the lifetime of the RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificate to six + months, and regenerate it when it is within one month of expiring. + Previously, we had generated this certificate at startup with a + ten-year lifetime, but that could lead to weird behavior when Tor + was started with a grossly inaccurate clock. Mitigates bug 22466; + mitigation on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leak, directory authority, backport from + 0.3.1.2-alpha): + - When directory authorities reject a router descriptor due to + keypinning, free the router descriptor rather than leaking the + memory. Fixes bug 22370; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.2.9.11 - 2017-06-08 + Tor 0.2.9.11 fixes a pair of bugs that would allow an attacker to + remotely crash a hidden service with an assertion failure.

Resolves ticket 21564. + + o Minor features (future-proofing, backport from 0.3.0.7): + - Tor no longer refuses to download microdescriptors or descriptors if + they are listed as "published in the future". This change will + eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates + in microdescriptor consensuses, and thereby allow us to reduce the + resources required to download consensus diffs by over 50%. + Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275. + + o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.0.4-rc) + - Directory authorities now reject relays running versions + 0.2.9.1-alpha through 0.2.9.4-alpha, because those relays + suffer from bug 20499 and don't keep their consensus cache + up-to-date. Resolves ticket 20509. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 2 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (control port, backport from 0.3.0.6): + - The GETINFO extra-info/digest/<digest> command was broken because + of a wrong base16 decode return value check, introduced when + refactoring that API.
