it was changed on 18 November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch
by "teor".
- o Minor features (DoS-resistance, backport from 0.2.7.1-alpha):
- - Make it harder for attackers to overload hidden services with
- introductions, by blocking multiple introduction requests on the
- same circuit. Resolves ticket 15515.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, backport from 0.2.7.1-alpha):
- - Fix an out-of-bounds read when parsing invalid INTRODUCE2 cells on
- a client authorized hidden service. Fixes bug 15823; bugfix
- on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
-
- o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- - Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248;
- bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks".
-
- o Minor features (bug-resistance, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- - Make Tor survive errors involving connections without a
- corresponding event object. Previously we'd fail with an
- assertion; now we produce a log message. Related to bug 16248.
-
- o Major bugfixes (security, correctness, backport from 0.2.7.4-rc):
- - Fix an error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before the
- beginning of an openssl string. This bug could be used to cause
- Tor to crash on systems with unusual malloc implementations, or
- systems with unusual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix
- on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
-
- o Major bugfixes (guard selection, backport from 0.2.7.6):
- - Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory
- guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we
- accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard
- flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse
- performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered
- by Mohsen Imani.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.2.7.6)
- - Fix a compilation warning with Clang 3.6: Do not check the
- presence of an address which can never be NULL. Fixes bug 17781.
-
- o Minor features (geoip):
- - Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
- Country database.
-
- o Minor features (security, memory erasure, backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha):
- - Make memwipe() do nothing when passed a NULL pointer or buffer of
- zero size. Check size argument to memwipe() for underflow. Fixes
- bug 18089; bugfix on 0.2.3.25 and 0.2.4.6-alpha. Reported by "gk",
- patch by "teor".
-
- o Major bugfixes (security, pointers, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- - Avoid a difficult-to-trigger heap corruption attack when extending
- a smartlist to contain over 16GB of pointers. Fixes bug 18162;
- bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha, which fixed a related bug incompletely.
- Reported by Guido Vranken.
