Log Message:
Updated tor to 0.2.9.10.
Changes in version 0.2.9.10 - 2017-03-01
Tor 0.2.9.10 backports a security fix for users who build Tor with
the --enable-expensive-hardening option. It also includes fixes for
some major issues affecting directory authorities, LibreSSL
compatibility, and IPv6 correctness.
The Tor 0.2.9.x release series is now marked as a long-term-support
series. We intend to backport security fixes to 0.2.9.x until at
least January of 2020.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority, 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- During voting, when marking a relay as a probable sybil, do not
clear its BadExit flag: sybils can still be bad in other ways
too. (We still clear the other flags.) Fixes bug 21108; bugfix
on 0.2.0.13-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (IPv6 Exits, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- Stop rejecting all IPv6 traffic on Exits whose exit policy rejects
any IPv6 addresses. Instead, only reject a port over IPv6 if the
exit policy rejects that port on more than an IPv6 /16 of
addresses. This bug was made worse by 17027 in 0.2.8.1-alpha,
which rejected a relay's own IPv6 address by default. Fixes bug
21357; bugfix on commit 004f3f4e53 in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor features (directory authorities, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Directory authorities now reject descriptors that claim to be
malformed versions of Tor. Helps prevent exploitation of
bug 21278.
- Reject version numbers with components that exceed INT32_MAX.
Otherwise 32-bit and 64-bit platforms would behave inconsistently.
Fixes bug 21450; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (portability, compilation, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- Autoconf now checks to determine if OpenSSL structures are opaque,
instead of explicitly checking for OpenSSL version numbers. Part
of ticket 21359.
- Support building with recent LibreSSL code that uses opaque
structures. Closes ticket 21359.
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Repair a couple of (unreachable or harmless) cases of the risky
comparison-by-subtraction pattern that caused bug 21278.
o Minor bugfixes (tor-resolve, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- The tor-resolve command line tool now rejects hostnames over 255
characters in length. Previously, it would silently truncate them,
which could lead to bugs. Fixes bug 21280; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
