+Changes in version 0.2.5.15 - 2017-10-25
|
|
|
+ Tor 0.2.5.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
|
|
|
+ series. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Note: the Tor 0.2.5 series will no longer be supported after 1 May
|
|
|
+ 2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade to
|
|
|
+ the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Directory authority changes:
|
|
|
+ - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
|
|
|
+ Closes ticket 23910.
|
|
|
+ - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
|
|
|
+ Closes ticket 23592.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
|
|
|
+ inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
|
|
|
+ handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
|
|
|
+ 22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (geoip):
|
|
|
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
|
|
+ Country database.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
|
|
|
+ bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
|
|
|
+ still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
|
|
|
+ ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
|
|
|
+ behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
|
|
|
+ sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
|
|
|
+ network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
|
|
|
+ 0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
|
|
|
+ configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
|
|
|
+ developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
|
|
|
+ better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
|
|
|
+ to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
|
|
|
+ Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
|
|
|
+ repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
|
|
|
+ your changes. Closes ticket 22636.

|
+Changes in version 0.2.8.16 - 2017-10-25
|
|
|
+ Tor 0.2.8.16 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
|
|
|
+ series, including a bugfix for a crash issue that had affected relays
|
|
|
+ under memory pressure. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Note: the Tor 0.2.8 series will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
|
|
|
+ 2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please stick with
|
|
|
+ the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Directory authority changes:
|
|
|
+ - Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
|
|
|
+ Closes ticket 23910.
|
|
|
+ - The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
|
|
|
+ Closes ticket 23592.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Major bugfixes (relay, crash, assertion failure, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Fix a timing-based assertion failure that could occur when the
|
|
|
+ circuit out-of-memory handler freed a connection's output buffer.
|
|
|
+ Fixes bug 23690; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Remove longclaw's IPv6 address, as it will soon change. Authority
|
|
|
+ IPv6 addresses were originally added in 0.2.8.1-alpha. This leaves
|
|
|
+ 3/8 directory authorities with IPv6 addresses, but there are also
|
|
|
+ 52 fallback directory mirrors with IPv6 addresses. Resolves 19760.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (geoip):
|
|
|
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
|
|
+ Country database.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - When a directory authority rejects a descriptor or extrainfo with
|
|
|
+ a given digest, mark that digest as undownloadable, so that we do
|
|
|
+ not attempt to download it again over and over. We previously
|
|
|
+ tried to avoid downloading such descriptors by other means, but we
|
|
|
+ didn't notice if we accidentally downloaded one anyway. This
|
|
|
+ behavior became problematic in 0.2.7.2-alpha, when authorities
|
|
|
+ began pinning Ed25519 keys. Fixes bug 22349; bugfix
|
|
|
+ on 0.2.1.19-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, backport from 0.3.2.3-alpha):
|
|
|
+ - Clear the address when node_get_prim_orport() returns early.
|
|
|
+ Fixes bug 23874; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (Windows service, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
|
|
|
+ - When running as a Windows service, set the ID of the main thread
|
|
|
+ correctly. Failure to do so made us fail to send log messages to
|
|
|
+ the controller in 0.2.1.16-rc, slowed down controller event
|
|
|
+ delivery in 0.2.7.3-rc and later, and crash with an assertion
|
|
|
+ failure in 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fixes bug 23081; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
|
|
|
+ Patch and diagnosis from "Vort".
