+Changes in version 0.2.2.21-alpha - 2011-01-15
+ o Major bugfixes (security):
+ - Fix a heap overflow bug where an adversary could cause heap
+ corruption. This bug probably allows remote code execution
+ attacks. Reported by "debuger". Fixes CVE-2011-0427. Bugfix on
+ 0.1.2.10-rc.
+ - Prevent a denial-of-service attack by disallowing any
+ zlib-compressed data whose compression factor is implausibly
+ high. Fixes part of bug 2324; reported by "doors".
+ - Zero out a few more keys in memory before freeing them. Fixes bug
+ 2384 and part of bug 2385. These key instances found by
+ "cypherpunks". Bugfix on 0.0.2pre9.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (crashes):
+ - Prevent calls to Libevent from inside Libevent log handlers.
+ This had potential to cause a nasty set of crashes, especially
+ if running Libevent with debug logging enabled, and running
+ Tor with a controller watching for low-severity log messages.
+ Bugfix on 0.1.0.2-rc. Fixes bug 2190.
+ - Add a check for SIZE_T_MAX to tor_realloc() to try to avoid
+ underflow errors there too. Fixes the other part of bug 2324.
+ - Fix a bug where we would assert if we ever had a
+ cached-descriptors.new file (or another file read directly into
+ memory) of exactly SIZE_T_CEILING bytes. Found by doors; fixes
+ bug 2326; bugfix on 0.2.1.25.
+ - Fix some potential asserts and parsing issues with grossly
+ malformed router caches. Fixes bug 2352. Found by doorss. Bugfix
+ on Tor 0.2.1.27.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (other):
+ - Fix a bug with handling misformed replies to reverse DNS lookup
+ requests in DNSPort. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.1-alpha. Related to a
+ bug reported by doorss.
+ - Fix compilation on mingw when a pthreads compatibility library
+ has been installed. (We don't want to use it, so we shouldn't
+ be including pthread.h.) Fixes bug 2313; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
+ - Fix a bug where we would declare that we had run out of virtual
+ addresses when the address space was only half-exhausted. Bugfix
+ on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
+ - Correctly handle the case where AutomapHostsOnResolve is set but no
+ virtual addresses are available. Fixes bug2328, bugfix on
+ 0.1.2.1-alpha. Bug found by doorss.
+ - Correctly handle wrapping around to when we run out of virtual
+ address space. Found by cypherpunks, bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
+ - The 0.2.1.28 tarball was missing src/common/OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c
+ because we built it with a too-old version of automake. Thus that
+ release broke ./configure --enable-openbsd-malloc, which is popular
+ among really fast exit relays on Linux.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - Update to the January 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
+ - Introduce output size checks on all of our decryption functions.
+
+ o Build changes:
+ - Tor does not build packages correctly with Automake 1.6 and earlier;
+ added a check to Makefile.am to make sure that we're building with
+ Automake 1.7 or later.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes
+ - Make Libevent log messages get delievered to controllers later,
+ and not from inside the Libevent log handler. This prevents
+ unsafe reentrant Libevent calls while still letting the log
+ messages get through.
+

Changes in version 0.2.2.20-alpha - 2010-12-17
Tor 0.2.2.20-alpha does some code cleanup to reduce the risk of remotely
exploitable bugs. We also fix a variety of other significant bugs,
