Tor 0.2.0.31 addresses two potential anonymity issues, starts to fix a big bug we're seeing where in rare cases traffic from one Tor stream gets mixed into another stream, and fixes a variety of smaller issues. https://www.torproject.org/download.html Changes in version 0.2.0.31 - 2008-09-03 o Major bugfixes: - Make sure that two circuits can never exist on the same connection with the same circuit ID, even if one is marked for close. This is conceivably a bugfix for bug 779. Bugfix on 0.1.0.4-rc. - Relays now reject risky extend cells: if the extend cell includes a digest of all zeroes, or asks to extend back to the relay that sent the extend cell, tear down the circuit. Ideas suggested by rovv. - If not enough of our entry guards are available so we add a new one, we might use the new one even if it overlapped with the current circuit's exit relay (or its family). Anonymity bugfix pointed out by rovv. o Minor bugfixes: - Recover 3-7 bytes that were wasted per memory chunk. Fixes bug 794; bug spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. - Correctly detect the presence of the linux/netfilter_ipv4.h header when building against recent kernels. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. - Pick size of default geoip filename string correctly on windows. Fixes bug 806. Bugfix on 0.2.0.30. - Make the autoconf script accept the obsolete --with-ssl-dir option as an alias for the actually-working --with-openssl-dir option. Fix the help documentation to recommend --with-openssl-dir. Based on a patch by "Dave". Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. - Disallow session resumption attempts during the renegotiation stage of the v2 handshake protocol. Clients should never be trying session resumption at this point, but apparently some did, in ways that caused the handshake to fail. Bug found by Geoff Goodell. Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. - When using the TransPort option on OpenBSD, and using the User option to change UID and drop privileges, make sure to open /dev/pf before dropping privileges. Fixes bug 782. Patch from Christopher Davis. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. - Try to attach connections immediately upon receiving a RENDEZVOUS2 or RENDEZVOUS_ESTABLISHED cell. This can save a second or two on the client side when connecting to a hidden service. Bugfix on 0.0.6pre1. Found and fixed by Christian Wilms; resolves bug 743. - When closing an application-side connection because its circuit is getting torn down, generate the stream event correctly. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x. Anonymous patch. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
