Greetings everyone!

Before going further, I'm David, part of the Tor network team and I'll be replacing Nick on these announcements for the foreseeable future! Now onto the announcement.

We have very recently fixed an important security issue and we are thus quickly rolling out new stable releases on August 16th that is in 5 days.

As per our security policy [0], this issue is considered "HIGH" causing a remote crash on possibly all tor instances (client, service, relay). We will share more details after the release.

The new releases will be 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10 and 0.4.6.7. We are tracking this issue as TROVE-2021-007 which is listed in our registry here[1].

Cheers! David
