Tor 0.2.8.15 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

Note that Tor 0.2.8.x will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
2018. We suggest that you upgrade to the latest stable release if
possible. If you can't, we recommend that you upgrade at least to
0.2.9, which will be supported until 2020.

Changes in version 0.2.8.15 - 2017-09-18

security bug that affects hidden services running with the
SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see

0.2.9, which will be supported until 2020.
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:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
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 (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 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.

hidden service error occurred while SafeLogging was disabled.
