Tor 0.3.1.4-alpha fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
node. This is a security regression; all clients running earlier
versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9 or
0.3.1.4-alpha.
versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9
or 0.3.1.4-alpha.
This release also fixes several other bugs related to new features in
0.3.0.x and 0.3.1.x, including others that can effect bandwidth usage
and correctness.
o Major bugfixes (path selection, security):
- When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the
exit's family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new
guard selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider
its family. Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked
as TROVE-2016-006 and CVE-2017-0377.
o New dependencies:
- To build with zstd and lzma support, Tor now requires the pkg-
config tool at build time. (This requirement was new in
- To build with zstd and lzma support, Tor now requires the
pkg-config tool at build time. (This requirement was new in
0.3.1.1-alpha, but was not noted at the time. Noting it here to
close ticket 22623.)
o Major bugfixes (compression):
- Fix crash in LZMA module, when the Sandbox is enabled, where
liblzma would allocate more than 16 MB of memory. We solve this by
bumping the mprotect() limit in the Sandbox module from 16 MB to
20 MB. Fixes bug 22751; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

compressed input. (Previously, we would sometimes treat a full
buffer as an error.) Fixes bug 22628; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (directory protocol):
- Ensure that we sent "304 Not modified" as HTTP status code when a
client is attempting to fetch a consensus or consensus diff that
matches the latest consensus we have available. Fixes bug 22702;

- Ensure that we send "304 Not modified" as HTTP status code when a
client is attempting to fetch a consensus or consensus diff, and
the best one we can send them is one we already have. Fixes bug

o Minor features (compression, defensive programming):
- Detect and break out of infinite loops in our compression code. We
don't think that any such loops exist now, but it's best to be
safe. Closes ticket 22672.
