Dear Community, Dear Bridge Operators,
an updated obfs4proxy package was pushed to Debian bullseye-backports about 2 weeks ago and solves a security issue and a partial incompatibility between Tor browser and bridges [1, 2, 3]. See also the E-Mail from meskio [4].
The new version, 0.0.13-1, will be available in Ubunutu jammy, planned to be released in April as 22.04 LTS.
I would like to get this version into focal-backports, as focal (20.04 LTS) is a popular system.
For this reason, I filed a bug with Ubuntu.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/obfs4proxy/+bug/1967003
Anyone who has experience with Ubuntu packages and backports is very welcome to help.
Thank you and kind regards,
wurstsemmel
