Everybody should upgrade to + one of 0.3.5.15, 0.4.4.9, 0.4.5.9, or 0.4.6.5. + + o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Don't allow relays to spoof RELAY_END or RELAY_RESOLVED cell on + half-closed streams. Previously, clients failed to validate which + hop sent these cells: this would allow a relay on a circuit to end + a stream that wasn't actually built with it. Fixes bug 40389; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021- + 003 and CVE-2021-34548. + + o Major bugfixes (security, defense-in-depth, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Detect more failure conditions from the OpenSSL RNG code. + Previously, we would detect errors from a missing RNG + implementation, but not failures from the RNG code itself. + Fortunately, it appears those failures do not happen in practice + when Tor is using OpenSSL's default RNG implementation. Fixes bug + 40390; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as + TROVE-2021-004. Reported by Jann Horn at Google's Project Zero. + + o Major bugfixes (security, denial of service, backport from 0.4.6.5): + - Resist a hashtable-based CPU denial-of-service attack against + relays. Previously we used a naive unkeyed hash function to look + up circuits in a circuitmux object. An attacker could exploit this + to construct circuits with chosen circuit IDs, to create + collisions and make the hash table inefficient. Now we use a + SipHash construction here instead. Fixes bug 40391; bugfix on + 0.2.4.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-005 and + CVE-2021-34549. Reported by Jann Horn from Google's Project Zero. + - Fix an out-of-bounds memory access in v3 onion service descriptor + parsing. An attacker could exploit this bug by crafting an onion + service descriptor that would crash any client that tried to visit + it. Fixes bug 40392; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This issue is also + tracked as TROVE-2021-006 and CVE-2021-34550. Reported by Sergei + Glazunov from Google's Project Zero. + + o Minor features (compatibility, backport from 0.4.6.4-rc): + - Remove an assertion function related to TLS renegotiation. It was + used nowhere outside the unit tests, and it was breaking + compilation with recent alpha releases of OpenSSL 3.0.0. Closes + ticket 40399. + + o Minor features (geoip data): + - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as + retrieved on 2021/06/10. + + o Minor bugfixes (control, sandbox, backport from 0.4.6.4-rc): + - Allow the control command SAVECONF to succeed when the seccomp + sandbox is enabled, and make SAVECONF keep only one backup file to + simplify implementation. Previously SAVECONF allowed a large + number of backup files, which made it incompatible with the + sandbox. Fixes bug 40317; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. Patch by + Daniel Pinto. + + o Minor bugfixes (metrics port, backport from 0.4.6.4-rc): + - Fix a bug that made tor try to re-bind() on an already open + MetricsPort every 60 seconds.

This is therefore the last release in its series.
