Fixes bug 40389; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021- + 003 and CVE-2021-34548. + + o Major bugfixes (security, defense-in-depth, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Detect more failure conditions from the OpenSSL RNG code. + Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG + implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself. + Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice + when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation.

Previously we used a naive unkeyed hash function to look + up circuits in a circuitmux object. An attacker could exploit this + to construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs, to create + collisions and make the hash table inefficient. Now we use a + SipHash construction here instead.

Closes + ticket 40399. + + o Minor features (geoip data): + - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as + retrieved on 2021/06/10. + + o Minor bugfixes (control, sandbox, backport from 0.4.6.4-rc): + - Allow the control command SAVECONF to succeed when the seccomp + sandbox is enabled, and make SAVECONF keep only one backup file to + simplify implementation. Previously SAVECONF allowed a large + number of backup files, which made it incompatible with the + sandbox. Fixes bug 40317; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
