Changes in version 0.3.2.8-rc - 2017-12-21
Tor 0.3.2.8-rc fixes a pair of bugs in the KIST and KISTLite schedulers
that had led servers under heavy load to overload their outgoing
connections. All relay operators running earlier 0.3.2.x versions should
upgrade. This version also includes a mitigation for over-full DESTROY
queues leading to out-of-memory conditions: if it works, we will soon
backport it to earlier release series.

This is the second release candidate in the 0.3.2 series. If we find no
new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.2 release will
be nearly identical to this.

o Major bugfixes (KIST, scheduler):
- The KIST scheduler did not correctly account for data already enqueued
in each connection's send socket buffer, particularly in cases when the
TCP/IP congestion window was reduced between scheduler calls. This
situation lead to excessive per-connection buffering in the kernel, and
a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 24665; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST):
- Use a sane write limit for KISTLite when writing onto a connection
buffer instead of using INT_MAX and shoving as much as it can. Because
the OOM handler cleans up circuit queues, we are better off at keeping
them in that queue instead of the connection's buffer. Fixes bug 24671;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service v3):
- Bump hsdir_spread_store parameter from 3 to 4 in order to increase the
probability of reaching a service for a client missing microdescriptors.

o Minor bugfixes (memory usage):
- When queuing DESTROY cells on a channel, only queue the
circuit-id and reason fields: not the entire 514-byte
cell. This fix should help mitigate any bugs or attacks that
fill up these queues, and free more RAM for other uses. Fixes
bug 24666; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
