+Changes in version 0.2.9.12 - 2017-09-18
+ Tor 0.2.9.12 backports a collection of bugfixes from later
+ Tor series.
+
+ Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
+ security bug that affects hidden services running with the
+ SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
+ https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
+
+ o Major features (security, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
+ - Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server
+ side, to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the
+ DefecTor attack of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and
+ Feamster. Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
+ values, and clients are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3
+ hours long. Closes ticket 19769.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (crash, directory connections, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
+ - Fix a rare crash when sending a begin cell on a circuit whose
+ linked directory connection had already been closed. Fixes bug
+ 21576; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (DNS, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
+ - Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for
+ more than 60 seconds. Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+ - Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
+ from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
+ Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
+
+ o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
+ inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
+ handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
+ 22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
+
+ o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
+ - Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
+ GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
+ Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip):
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
+ Country database.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+ - Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
+ rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
+ Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug 22915;
+ bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+ - Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt support
+ on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
+ - When building with certain versions the mingw C header files, avoid
+ float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions isfinite(),
+ isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+ - Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for running tor_sscanf()
+ with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+ - Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
+ in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
+ 0.2.8.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
+ - Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
+ Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
+ - Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an
+ empty body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
+ default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
+ instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
+ doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
+ Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+ - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
+ bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
+ still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
+ ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
+ behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
+ sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
+ network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
+ 0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
+ always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
+ bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
+ mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
+ - Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
+ starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
+ permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
+ 22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
+ - Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
+ receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
+ on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
+ - Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
+ whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
+ parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
+ and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
+
+ o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
+ - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
+ configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
+ developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
+ better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
+ to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
+ Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
+ repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
+ your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
