Changes in version 0.3.2.6-alpha - 2017-12-01
|
||||
This version of Tor is the latest in the 0.3.2 alpha series. It
|
||||
includes fixes for several important security issues. All Tor users
|
||||
should upgrade to this release, or to one of the other releases coming
|
||||
out today.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security):
|
||||
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
|
||||
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
|
||||
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
|
||||
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
|
||||
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
|
||||
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
|
||||
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
|
||||
- Fix a denial of service issue where an attacker could crash a
|
||||
directory authority using a malformed router descriptor. Fixes bug
|
||||
24245; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-010
|
||||
and CVE-2017-8820.
|
||||
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
|
||||
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
|
||||
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
|
||||
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
|
||||
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
|
||||
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
|
||||
and CVE-2017-8819.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2):
|
||||
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
|
||||
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
|
||||
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
|
||||
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, relay):
|
||||
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path
|
||||
through ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the
|
||||
version of our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part
|
||||
of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
|
||||
as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
|
||||
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never choose ourselves
|
||||
as a guard. Fixes part of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This
|
||||
issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor feature (relay statistics):
|
||||
- Change relay bandwidth reporting stats interval from 4 hours to 24
|
||||
hours in order to reduce the efficiency of guard discovery
|
||||
attacks. Fixes ticket 23856.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority):
|
||||
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
|
||||
ticket 24394.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (client):
|
||||
- By default, do not enable storage of client-side DNS values. These
|
||||
values were unused by default previously, but they should not have
|
||||
been cached at all. Fixes bug 24050; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in version 0.3.1.9 - 2017-12-01:
|
||||
Tor 0.3.1.9 backports important security and stability fixes from the
|
||||
0.3.2 development series. All Tor users should upgrade to this
|
||||
release, or to another of the releases coming out today.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||

|
||||
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (exit relays, DNS, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix an issue causing DNS to fail on high-bandwidth exit nodes,
|
||||
making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on
|
||||
0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for
|
||||
identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz,
|
||||
Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and
|
||||
analyze it.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (bridge):
|
||||
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
|
||||
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
|
||||
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
|
||||
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
|
||||
or later.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
|
||||
ticket 24394.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (geoip):
|
||||
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
||||
Country database.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
|
||||
relays, to prevent spurious address resolutions and descriptor
|
||||
rebuilds. This is a mitigation for bug 21789. Fixes bug 23470;
|
||||
bugfix on in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix unused variable warnings in donna's Curve25519 SSE2 code.
|
||||
Fixes bug 22895; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
|
||||
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
|
||||
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
|
||||
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
|
||||
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
|
||||
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
|
||||
- Rename the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to "hsdir_interval"
|
||||
so it matches dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
|
||||
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
|
||||
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
|
||||
"public server" mode changed, but not when our "server" mode
|
||||
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in version 0.3.0.13 - 2017-12-01
|
||||
Tor 0.3.0.13 backports important security and stability bugfixes from
|
||||
later Tor releases. All Tor users should upgrade to this release, or
|
||||
to another of the releases coming out today.
|
||||

since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
|
||||
(PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't

|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
|
||||
- Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;

Changes in version 0.2.8.17 - 2017-12-01
|
||||
Tor 0.2.8.17 backports important security and stability bugfixes from
|
||||
later Tor releases. All Tor users should upgrade to this release, or
|
||||
to another of the releases coming out today.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the Tor 0.2.8 series will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
|
||||
2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade with
|
||||
the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
|
||||
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
|
||||
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
|
||||
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
|
||||
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
|
||||
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
|
||||
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
|
||||
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
|
||||
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
|
||||
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
|
||||
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
|
||||
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
|
||||
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
|
||||
and CVE-2017-8819.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
|
||||
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
|
||||
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
|
||||
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, relay, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path through
|
||||
ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the version of
|
||||
our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part of bug 21534;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012
|
||||
and CVE-2017-8822.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (bridge, backport from 0.3.1.9):
|
||||
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
|
||||
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
|
||||
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
|
||||
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
|
||||
or later.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
|
||||
ticket 24394.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (geoip):
|
||||
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
||||
Country database.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):

o Minor features (security, windows, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
|
||||
(HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
|
||||
since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
|
||||
(PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't

o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
|
||||
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
|
||||
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
|
||||
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, relay, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path
|
||||
through ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the
|
||||
version of our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part
|
||||
of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
|
||||
as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (bridge, backport from 0.3.1.9):
|
||||
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
|
||||
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
|
||||
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
|
||||
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
|
||||
or later.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
|
||||
ticket 24394.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (geoip):
|
||||
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
||||
Country database.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (security, windows, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
|
||||
(HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
|
||||
since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
|
||||
(PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
|
||||
affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
|
||||
relays, to prevent spurious address resolutions and descriptor
|
||||
rebuilds. This is a mitigation for bug 21789. Fixes bug 23470;
|
||||
bugfix on in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix unused variable warnings in donna's Curve25519 SSE2 code.
|
||||
Fixes bug 22895; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
|
||||
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
|
||||
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
|
||||
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
|
||||
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
|
||||
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
|
||||
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
|
||||
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
|
||||
"public server" mode changed, but not when our "server" mode
|
||||
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
|
||||
- Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Found and patched by Ties Stuij.

|
||||
Changes in version 0.2.8.17 - 2017-12-01
|
||||
Tor 0.2.8.17 backports important security and stability bugfixes from
|
||||
later Tor releases. All Tor users should upgrade to this release, or
|
||||
to another of the releases coming out today.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the Tor 0.2.8 series will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
|
||||
2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade with
|
||||
the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
|
||||
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
|
||||
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
|
||||
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
|
||||
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
|
||||
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
|
||||
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
|
||||
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
|
||||
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
|
||||
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
|
||||
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
|
||||
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
|
||||
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
|
||||
and CVE-2017-8819.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):

|
||||
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path through
|
||||
ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the version of
|
||||
our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part of bug 21534;

ticket 24394.
