Previously, a Tor client - would stop iterating through the list of available relays as - soon as it had chosen one, thus finishing a little earlier - when it picked a router earlier in the list. If an attacker - can recover this timing information (nontrivial but not - proven to be impossible), they could learn some coarse- - grained information about which relays a client was picking - (middle nodes in particular are likelier to be affected than - exits). The timing attack might be mitigated by other factors - (see bug #6537 for some discussion), but it's best not to - take chances. Fixes bug 6537; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1. |
