Changes in version 0.4.4.6 - 2020-11-12
|
||||
Tor 0.4.4.6 is the second stable release in the 0.4.4.x series. It
|
||||
backports fixes from later releases, including a fix for TROVE-2020-
|
||||
005, a security issue that could be used, under certain cases, by an
|
||||
adversary to observe traffic patterns on a limited number of circuits
|
||||
intended for a different relay.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- When completing a channel, relays now check more thoroughly to
|
||||
make sure that it matches any pending circuits before attaching
|
||||
those circuits. Previously, address correctness and Ed25519
|
||||
identities were not checked in this case, but only when extending
|
||||
circuits on an existing channel. Fixes bug 40080; bugfix on
|
||||
0.2.7.2-alpha. Resolves TROVE-2020-005.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Authorities now list a different set of protocols as required and
|
||||
recommended. These lists have been chosen so that only truly
|
||||
recommended and/or required protocols are included, and so that
|
||||
clients using 0.2.9 or later will continue to work (even though
|
||||
they are not supported), whereas only relays running 0.3.5 or
|
||||
later will meet the requirements. Closes ticket 40162.
|
||||
- Make it possible to specify multiple ConsensusParams torrc lines.
|
||||
Now directory authority operators can for example put the main
|
||||
ConsensusParams config in one torrc file and then add to it from a
|
||||
different torrc file. Closes ticket 40164.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (subprotocol versions, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Tor no longer allows subprotocol versions larger than 63.
|
||||
Previously version numbers up to UINT32_MAX were allowed, which
|
||||
significantly complicated our code. Implements proposal 318;
|
||||
closes ticket 40133.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (tests, v2 onion services, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix a rendezvous cache unit test that was triggering an underflow
|
||||
on the global rend cache allocation. Fixes bug 40125; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
||||
- Fix another rendezvous cache unit test that was triggering an
|
||||
underflow on the global rend cache allocation. Fixes bug 40126;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Fix compiler warnings that would occur when building with
|
||||
"--enable-all-bugs-are-fatal" and "--disable-module-relay" at the
|
||||
same time. Fixes bug 40129; bugfix on 0.4.4.1-alpha.
|
||||
- Resolve a compilation warning that could occur in
|
||||
test_connection.c. Fixes bug 40113; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Remove a debug logging statement that uselessly spammed the logs.
|
||||
Fixes bug 40135; bugfix on 0.3.5.0-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (relay configuration, crash, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- Avoid a fatal assert() when failing to create a listener
|
||||
connection for an address that was in use. Fixes bug 40073; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (v2 onion services, backport from 0.4.5.1-alpha):
|
||||
- For HSFETCH commands on v2 onion services addresses, check the
|
||||
length of bytes decoded, not the base32 length. Fixes bug 34400;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.4.1.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in version 0.4.4.5 - 2020-09-15
|
||||
Tor 0.4.4.5 is the first stable release in the 0.4.4.x series. This
|
||||
series improves our guard selection algorithms, adds v3 onion balance
