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):
|
||||
- Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Found and patched by Ties Stuij.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
