BSD relay operators, like everyone else, should be aware that upgrading
tor to 0.4.7.7 is critical for exit relays. The source is available now at:
https://dist.torproject.org/tor-0.4.7.7.tar.gz
Specifically for the BSD ports, here is the current status and workings.
Any corrections appreciated.
* DragonflyBSD
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DPorts/tree/master/security/tor
Downstreams from FreeBSD quarterly updates, so may not have a 0.4.7.7
package or port for security/tor until July.
* FreeBSD
https://www.freshports.org/security/tor
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/security/tor
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/security/tor/
Updated to 0.4.7.7 already, and can be installed from security/tor now.
Working fine at this point.
For pkg(8) users, ensure that /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf line 11 is set to
"latest", as opposed to "quarterly", which should be the case regardless
of this security/tor release:
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
* NetBSD
https://pkgsrc.se/net/tor
pkgsrc's current port of net/tor was updated to 0.4.7.7. The stable port
is still on 0.4.6.10 at
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc/net/tor/Makefile
* OpenBSD
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/tor/
The -current net/tor has been updated to 0.4.7.7 and the package is
available.
For users running 7.1-stable, net/tor 0.4.7.7 will hopefully be
officially backported. Users can also update net/tor from ports on
-stable themselves easily enough. If you're not on 7.1-stable, consider
upgrading immediately.
Thanks.
