All Tor instances running an affected release + should upgrade to 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security): + - Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can + put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf + were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It + is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor + client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168; + bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as + TROVE-2019-001 and CVE-2019-8955. + + o Major bugfixes (networking, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Gracefully handle empty username/password fields in SOCKS5 + username/password auth messsage and allow SOCKS5 handshake to + continue. Previously, we had rejected these handshakes, breaking + certain applications. Fixes bug 29175; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Compile correctly when OpenSSL is built with engine support + disabled, or with deprecated APIs disabled. Closes ticket 29026. + Patches from "Mangix". + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 5 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 29478. + + o Minor features (testing, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Treat all unexpected ERR and BUG messages as test failures. Closes + ticket 28668. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Stop logging a "BUG()" warning and stacktrace when we find a SOCKS + connection waiting for a descriptor that we actually have in the + cache. It turns out that this can actually happen, though it is + rare. Now, tor will recover and retry the descriptor. Fixes bug + 28669; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Fix tor_ersatz_socketpair on IPv6-only systems. Previously, the + IPv6 socket was bound using an address family of AF_INET instead + of AF_INET6. Fixes bug 28995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from + Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (build, compatibility, rust, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Update Cargo.lock file to match the version made by the latest + version of Rust, so that "make distcheck" will pass again. Fixes + bug 29244; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, clock skew, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Select guards even if the consensus has expired, as long as the + consensus is still reasonably live. Fixes bug 24661; bugfix + on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Compile correctly on OpenBSD; previously, we were missing some + headers required in order to detect it properly. Fixes bug 28938; + bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Describe the contents of the v3 onion service client authorization + files correctly: They hold public keys, not private keys. Fixes + bug 28979; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Spotted by "Felixix". + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Rework rep_hist_log_link_protocol_counts() to iterate through all + link protocol versions when logging incoming/outgoing connection + counts. Tor no longer skips version 5, and we won't have to + remember to update this function when new link protocol version is + developed. Fixes bug 28920; bugfix on 0.2.6.10. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Log more information at "warning" level when unable to read a + private key; log more information at "info" level when unable to + read a public key. We had warnings here before, but they were lost + during our NSS work. Fixes bug 29042; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (misc, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - The amount of total available physical memory is now determined + using the sysctl identifier HW_PHYSMEM (rather than HW_USERMEM) + when it is defined and a 64-bit variant is not available. Fixes + bug 28981; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Avoid crashing if ClientOnionAuthDir (incorrectly) contains more + than one private key for a hidden service. Fixes bug 29040; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + - In hs_cache_store_as_client() log an HSDesc we failed to parse at + "debug" level. Tor used to log it as a warning, which caused very + long log lines to appear for some users. Fixes bug 29135; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + - Stop logging "Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR circuit..." + as a warning. Instead, log it as a protocol warning, because there + is nothing that relay operators can do to fix it. Fixes bug 29029; + bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests, directory clients, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Mark outdated dirservers when Tor only has a reasonably live + consensus. Fixes bug 28569; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (tests, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha): + - Detect and suppress "bug" warnings from the util/time test on + Windows. Fixes bug 29161; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - Do not log an error-level message if we fail to find an IPv6 + network interface from the unit tests. Fixes bug 29160; bugfix + on 0.2.7.3-rc. + + o Minor bugfixes (usability, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha): + - Stop saying "Your Guard ..." in pathbias_measure_{use,close}_rate(). + Some users took this phrasing to mean that the mentioned guard was + under their control or responsibility, which it is not. Fixes bug + 28895; bugfix on Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.7 - 2019-01-07 + Tor 0.3.5.7 is the first stable release in its series; it includes + compilation and portability fixes, and a fix for a severe problem + affecting directory caches. + + The Tor 0.3.5 series includes several new features and performance + improvements, including client authorization for v3 onion services, + cleanups to bootstrap reporting, support for improved bandwidth- + measurement tools, experimental support for NSS in place of OpenSSL, + and much more. It also begins a full reorganization of Tor's code + layout, for improved modularity and maintainability in the future. + Finally, there is the usual set of performance improvements and + bugfixes that we try to do in every release series. + + There are a couple of changes in the 0.3.5 that may affect + compatibility. First, the default version for newly created onion + services is now v3. Use the HiddenServiceVersion option if you want to + override this. Second, some log messages related to bootstrapping have + changed; if you use stem, you may need to update to the latest version + so it will recognize them. + + We have designated 0.3.5 as a "long-term support" (LTS) series: we + will continue to patch major bugs in typical configurations of 0.3.5 + until at least 1 Feb 2022. (We do not plan to provide long-term + support for embedding, Rust support, NSS support, running a directory + authority, or unsupported platforms. For these, you will need to stick + with the latest stable release.) + + Below are the changes since 0.3.5.6-rc. For a complete list of changes + since 0.3.4.9, see the ReleaseNotes file. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, directory): + - Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as + any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections + serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the + first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent + clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on + 0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3". + + o Minor features (compilation): + - When possible, place our warning flags in a separate file, to + avoid flooding verbose build logs. Closes ticket 28924. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 3 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 29012. + + o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround): + - Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3 + key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is + detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a + version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available. + Closes ticket 28973. + + o Minor features (performance): + - Remove about 96% of the work from the function that we run at + startup to test our curve25519_basepoint implementation. Since + this function has yet to find an actual failure, we now only run + it for 8 iterations instead of 200. Based on our profile + information, this change should save around 8% of our startup time + on typical desktops, and may have a similar effect on other + platforms. Closes ticket 28838. + - Stop re-validating our hardcoded Diffie-Hellman parameters on + every startup. Doing this wasted time and cycles, especially on + low-powered devices. Closes ticket 28851. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Fix compilation for Android by adding a missing header to + freespace.c. Fixes bug 28974; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (correctness): + - Fix an unreached code path where we checked the value of + "hostname" inside send_resolved_hostname_cell(). Previously, we + used it before checking it; now we check it first. Fixes bug + 28879; bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Make sure that test_rebind.py actually obeys its timeout, even + when it receives a large number of log messages. Fixes bug 28883; + bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha. + - Stop running stem's unit tests as part of "make test-stem", but + continue to run stem's unit and online tests during "make test- + stem-full". Fixes bug 28568; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (windows services): + - Make Tor start correctly as an NT service again: previously it was + broken by refactoring. Fixes bug 28612; bugfix on 0.3.5.3-alpha. + + o Code simplification and refactoring: + - When parsing a port configuration, make it more obvious to static + analyzer tools that we always initialize the address. Closes + ticket 28881. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.6-rc - 2018-12-18 + Tor 0.3.5.6-rc fixes numerous small bugs in earlier versions of Tor. + It is the first release candidate in the 0.3.5.x series; if no further + huge bugs are found, our next release may be the stable 0.3.5.x. + + o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows): + - Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build + artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI. + Implements 28459. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list): + - Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor + 0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still + functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85 + removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 5 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 28744. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Add missing dependency on libgdi32.dll for tor-print-ed-signing- + cert.exe on Windows. Fixes bug 28485; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows): + - Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not + download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is + already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3): + - When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close + any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client + connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The + HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for + all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (restart-in-process, boostrap): + - Add missing resets of bootstrap tracking state when shutting down + (regression caused by ticket 27169). Fixes bug 28524; bugfix + on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (testing): + - Use a separate DataDirectory for the test_rebind script. + Previously, this script would run using the default DataDirectory, + and sometimes fail. Fixes bug 28562; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + Patch from Taylor R Campbell. + - Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554; + bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Windows): + - Correctly identify Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server + 2008 and later from their NT versions. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on + 0.2.2.34; reported by Keifer Bly. + - On recent Windows versions, the GetVersionEx() function may report + an earlier Windows version than the running OS. To avoid user + confusion, add "[or later]" to Tor's version string on affected + versions of Windows. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; reported + by Keifer Bly. + - Remove Windows versions that were never supported by the + GetVersionEx() function. Stop duplicating the latest Windows + version in get_uname(). Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; + reported by Keifer Bly. + + o Testing: + - Increase logging and tag all log entries with timestamps in + test_rebind.py. Provides diagnostics for issue 28229. + + o Code simplification and refactoring (shared random, dirauth): + - Change many tor_assert() to use BUG() instead. The idea is to not + crash a dirauth but rather scream loudly with a stacktrace and let + it continue run. The shared random subsystem is very resilient and + if anything wrong happens with it, at worst a non coherent value + will be put in the vote and discarded by the other authorities. + Closes ticket 19566. + + o Documentation (onion services): + - Document in the man page that changing ClientOnionAuthDir value or + adding a new file in the directory will not work at runtime upon + sending a HUP if Sandbox 1. Closes ticket 28128. + - Note in the man page that the only real way to fully revoke an + onion service v3 client authorization is by restarting the tor + process. Closes ticket 28275. + + +Changes in version 0.3.5.5-alpha - 2018-11-16 + Tor 0.3.5.5-alpha includes numerous bugfixes on earlier releases, + including several that we hope to backport to older release series in + the future. + + o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability): + - Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in + OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when + running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS + 1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3 + support was added). + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. Closes ticket 28395. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since + some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before + use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (connection, relay): + - Avoid a logging a BUG() stacktrace when closing connection held + open because the write side is rate limited but not the read side. + Now, the connection read side is simply shut down until Tor is + able to flush the connection and close it. Fixes bug 27750; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows): + - Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using + mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does + not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix + on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + - Stop using an external OpenSSL install, and stop installing MSYS2 + packages, when building using mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. Fixes + bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (documentation): + - Make Doxygen work again after the code movement in the 0.3.5 + source tree. Fixes bug 28435; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Permit the "shutdown()" system call, which is apparently used by + OpenSSL under some circumstances. Fixes bug 28183; bugfix + on 0.2.5.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Stop talking about the Named flag in log messages. Clients have + ignored the Named flag since 0.3.2. Fixes bug 28441; bugfix + on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks): + - Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419; + bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger. + + o Minor bugfixes (onion services): + - On an intro point for a version 3 onion service, stop closing + introduction circuits on an NACK. This lets the client decide + whether to reuse the circuit or discard it. Previously, we closed + intro circuits when sending NACKs. Fixes bug 27841; bugfix on + 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chaunan. + - When replacing a descriptor in the client cache, make sure to + close all client introduction circuits for the old descriptor, so + we don't end up with unusable leftover circuits. Fixes bug 27471; + bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. + + Changes in version 0.3.5.4-alpha - 2018-11-08 Tor 0.3.5.4-alpha includes numerous bugfixes on earlier versions and improves our continuous integration support. It continues our attempts |
