Fixes bug 40474; bugfix on 0.4.5.8.
-Changes in version 0.4.6.7 - 2021-08-16
- This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor, including one
- that could lead to a denial-of-service attack. Everyone running an earlier
- version, whether as a client, a relay, or an onion service, should upgrade
- to Tor 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, or 0.4.6.7.
-
- o Major bugfixes (cryptography, security):
- - Resolve an assertion failure caused by a behavior mismatch between our
- batch-signature verification code and our single-signature verification
- code. This assertion failure could be triggered remotely, leading to a
- denial of service attack. We fix this issue by disabling batch
- verification. Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. This issue is
- also tracked as TROVE-2021-007 and CVE-2021-38385. Found by Henry de
- Valence.
-
- o Minor feature (fallbackdir):
- - Regenerate fallback directories list. Close ticket 40447.
-
- o Minor features (geoip data):
- - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database,
- as retrieved on 2021/08/12.
-
- o Minor bugfix (crypto):
- - Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna. Fixes
- bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry de Valence.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (onion service):
- - Send back the extended SOCKS error 0xF6 (Onion Service Invalid Address)
- for a v2 onion address. Fixes bug 40421; bugfix on 0.4.6.2-alpha.
-
- o Minor bugfix (CI, onion service):
- - Exclude onion service version 2 Stem tests in our CI. Fixes bug 40500;
- bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- - Reduce the compression level for data streaming from HIGH to LOW in
- order to reduce CPU load on the directory relays. Fixes bug 40301;
- bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (timekeeping):
- - Calculate the time of day correctly on systems where the time_t
- type includes leap seconds. (This is not the case on most
- operating systems, but on those where it occurs, our tor_timegm
- function did not correctly invert the system's gmtime function,
- which could result in assertion failures when calculating
- voting schedules.) Fixes bug 40383; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.

- Tor 0.4.5.9 fixes several security issues, including a

-
- 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

- 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. Fixes bug 40370; bugfix
- on 0.4.5.1-alpha.

+
+ Note that the scheduled end-of-life date for the Tor 0.4.4.x series is
+ June 15. This is therefore the last release in its series. Everybody
+ still running 0.4.4.x should plan to upgrade to 0.4.5.x or later.
+
+ 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 (fallback directory list, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha):
+ - Regenerate the list of fallback directories to contain a new set
+ of 200 relays. Closes ticket 40265.
+
+ o Minor features (geoip data):
+ - Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
+ retrieved on 2021/06/10.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (channel, DoS, backport from 0.4.6.2-alpha):
+ - Fix a non-fatal BUG() message due to a too-early free of a string,
+ when listing a client connection from the DoS defenses subsystem.
+ Fixes bug 40345; bugfix on 0.4.3.4-rc.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (compiler warnings, backport from 0.4.6.3-rc):
+ - Fix an indentation problem that led to a warning from GCC 11.1.1.
+ Fixes bug 40380; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.3.5.15 - 2021-06-14
+ Tor 0.3.5.15 fixes several security issues, including a
+ denial-of-service attack against onion service clients, and another
+ denial-of-service attack against relays. Everybody should upgrade to
+ one of 0.3.5.15, 0.4.4.9, 0.4.5.9, or 0.4.6.5.
