Changes in version 0.4.1.9 - 2020-03-??
Blurb.
Tor 0.4.1.9 backports important fixes from later Tor releases,
including a fix for TROVE-2020-002, a major denial-of-service
vulnerability that affected all released Tor instances since
0.2.1.5-alpha. Using this vulnerability, an attacker could cause Tor
instances to consume a huge amount of CPU, disrupting their operations
for several seconds or minutes. This attack could be launched by
anybody against a relay, or by a directory cache against any client
that had connected to it. The attacker could launch this attack as
much as they wanted, thereby disrupting service or creating patterns
that could aid in traffic analysis. This issue was found by OSS-Fuzz,
and is also tracked as CVE-2020-10592.
We do not have reason to believe that this attack is currently being
exploited in the wild, but nonetheless we advise everyone to upgrade
as soon as packages are available.
o Major bugfixes (security, denial-of-service, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
- Fix a denial-of-service bug that could be used by anyone to
consume a bunch of CPU on any Tor relay or authority, or by
directories to consume a bunch of CPU on clients or hidden
services. Because of the potential for CPU consumption to
introduce observable timing patterns, we are treating this as a
high-severity security issue. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on
0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz. We are also tracking this issue
as TROVE-2020-002 and CVE-2020-10592.
o Major bugfixes (circuit padding, memory leak, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
- Avoid a remotely triggered memory leak in the case that a circuit
padding machine is somehow negotiated twice on the same circuit.
Fixes bug 33619; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. Found by Tobias Pulls.
This is also tracked as TROVE-2020-004.
This is also tracked as TROVE-2020-004 and CVE-2020-10593.
o Minor bugfixes (bridges, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
- Lowercase the configured value of BridgeDistribution before adding
it to the descriptor. Fixes bug 32753; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services v3, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
- Fix an assertion failure that could result from a corrupted
ADD_ONION control port command. Found by Saibato. Fixes bug 33137;
bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
as TROVE-2020-003.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha):
- If we encounter a bug when flushing a buffer to a TLS connection,
only log the bug once per invocation of the Tor process.
