Changes in version 0.3.5.10 - 2020-03-??
blurb.
Tor 0.3.5.10 backports many 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 (linux seccomp sandbox, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
- Correct how we use libseccomp. Particularly, stop assuming that
