(We still clear the other flags.) Fixes bug 21108; bugfix + on 0.2.0.13-alpha. + - When deciding whether we have just found a router to be reachable, + do not penalize it for not having performed an Ed25519 link + handshake if it does not claim to support an Ed25519 handshake. + Previously, we would treat such relays as non-running. Fixes bug + 21107; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (entry guards): + - Stop trying to build circuits through entry guards for which we + have no descriptor yet. Also, stop crashing if we *do* + accidentally try to build a circuit in such a state. Fixes bug + 21242; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (IPv6 Exits): + - Stop rejecting all IPv6 traffic on Exits whose exit policy rejects + IPv6 addresses. Instead, only reject a port over IPv6 if the exit + policy rejects that port on more than an IPv6 /16 of addresses. + This bug was made worse by 17027 in 0.2.8.1-alpha, which rejects a + relay's own IPv6 address by default. Fixes bug 21357; bugfix on + commit 004f3f4e53 in 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Minor feature (client): + - Enable IPv6 traffic by default on the SocksPort. To disable this, + a user will have to specify "NoIPv6Traffic". Closes ticket 21269. + + o Minor feature (fallback scripts): + - Add a check_existing mode to updateFallbackDirs.py, which checks + if fallbacks in the hard-coded list are working. Closes ticket + 20174. Patch by haxxpop. + + o Minor features (ciphersuite selection): + - Allow servers to accept a wider range of ciphersuites, including + chacha20-poly1305 and AES-CCM. Closes the other part of 15426. + - Clients now advertise a list of ciphersuites closer to the ones + preferred by Firefox. Closes ticket 15426. + + o Minor features (controller, configuration): + - Each of the *Port options, such as SocksPort, ORPort, ControlPort, + and so on, now comes with a __*Port variant that will not be saved + to the torrc file by the controller's SAVECONF command. This + change allows TorBrowser to set up a single-use domain socket for + each time it launches Tor. Closes ticket 20956. + - The GETCONF command can now query options that may only be + meaningful in context-sensitive lists. This allows the controller + to query the mixed SocksPort/__SocksPort style options introduced + in feature 20956. Implements ticket 21300. + + o Minor features (portability, compilation): + - Autoconf now check to determine if OpenSSL structures are opaque, + instead of explicitly checking for OpenSSL version numbers. Part + of ticket 21359. + - Support building with recent LibreSSL code that uses opaque + structures. Closes ticket 21359. + + o Minor features (relay): + - Allow separation of exit and relay traffic to different source IP + addresses. Closes ticket 17975. Written by Michael Sonntag. + + o Minor bugfix (logging): + - Don't recommend the use of Tor2web in non anonymous mode. In that + mode, we disable client functionalities and recommending Tor2web + as a solution is a bad idea because in that case client loses all + anonymity. Tor2web should really only be used in very specific + cases and with users *knowing* what they do. Fixes bug 21294; + bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client): + - Always recover from failures in extend_info_from_node(), in an + attempt to prevent any recurrence of bug 21242. Fixes bug 21372; + bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, entry guards): + - Fix a bug warning (with backtrace) when we fail a channel that + circuits to fallback directories on it. Fixes bug 21128; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Fix a spurious bug warning (with backtrace) when removing an + expired entry guard. Fixes bug 21129; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Fix a bug of the new guard algorithm where tor could stall for up + to 10 minutes before retrying a guard after a long period of no + network. Fixes bug 21052; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + - Do not try to build circuits until we have descriptors for our + primary entry guards. Related to fix for bug 21242. + + o Minor bugfixes (configure, autoconf): + - Rename the configure option --enable-expensive-hardening to + --enable-fragile-hardening. TROVE-2017-001 was triggerable only + through the expensive hardening which is making the tor daemon + abort when the issue is detected. Thus, it makes tor more at risk + of remote crashes but safer against RCE or heartbleed bug + category. Fixes bug 21290; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (controller): + - Restore the (deprecated) DROPGUARDS controller command. Fixes bug + 20824; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden service): + - Cleanup expiring intro point nodes if no circuit is associated to + it anymore. It was causing, rarely, the service to not open enough + introduction points circuit in the case we had dead expiring + nodes.; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. + - Stop modifying the value of our torrc option + HiddenServiceStatistics just because we're not a bridge or relay. + Use an internal value for what tor should use and keep the torrc + option intact. Fixes bug 21150; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + - Two possible underflow which would ultimately lead to creating a + lot of introduction points circuits and closing them in a non stop + loop. Fixes bug 21302; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Use "OpenBSD" pre-defined compiler macro instead of "OPENBSD" or + "__OpenBSD__". It is supported by OpenBSD itself and also most + OpenBSD variants like Bitrig. Fixes bug 20980; bugfix + on 0.1.2.1-alpha. + - Do not silently truncate content of files if they are larger than + SIZE_MAX bytes. This issue could occur on 32 bit systems with + large file support and files which are larger than 4 GB. Fixes bug + 21134; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tor-resolve): + - The tor-resolve command line tool now rejects hostnames over 255 + characters in length. Previously, it would silently truncate them, + which could lead to bugs. Fixes bug 21280; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5. + Patch by "junglefowl". + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows services): + - Be sure to initialize the monotonic time subsystem before using + it, even when running as an NT service. Fixes bug 21356; bugfix + on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + Changes in version 0.3.0.2-alpha - 2017-01-23 Tor 0.3.0.2-alpha fixes a denial-of-service bug where an attacker could cause relays and clients to crash, even if they were not built with |
