Changes in version 0.4.6.7 - 2021-08-16
This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor,
including one that could lead to a denial-of-service attack. Everyone
running an earlier version, whether as a client, a relay, or an onion
service, should upgrade to Tor 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, or 0.4.6.7.
o Major bugfixes (cryptography, security):
- Resolve an assertion failure caused by a behavior mismatch between
our batch-signature verification code and our single-signature
verification code. This assertion failure could be triggered
remotely, leading to a denial of service attack. We fix this issue
by disabling batch verification. Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on
0.2.6.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-007 and
CVE-2021-38385. Found by Henry de Valence.
o Minor feature (fallbackdir):
- Regenerate fallback directories list. Close ticket 40447.
o Minor features (geoip data):
- Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
retrieved on 2021/08/12.
o Minor bugfix (crypto):
- Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna.
Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry
de Valence.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service):
- Send back the extended SOCKS error 0xF6 (Onion Service Invalid
Address) for a v2 onion address. Fixes bug 40421; bugfix
on 0.4.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Reduce the compression level for data streaming from HIGH to LOW
in order to reduce CPU load on the directory relays. Fixes bug
40301; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (timekeeping):
- Calculate the time of day correctly on systems where the time_t
type includes leap seconds. (This is not the case on most
operating systems, but on those where it occurs, our tor_timegm
function did not correctly invert the system's gmtime function,
which could result in assertion failures when calculating voting
schedules.) Fixes bug 40383; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.

- Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
retrieved on 2021/08/12.
o Minor features (testing):
- Enable the deterministic RNG for unit tests that covers the
address set bloomfilter-based API's. Fixes bug 40419; bugfix
on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfix (crypto, backport from 0.4.6.7):
- Disable the unused batch verification feature of ed25519-donna.
Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by Henry
de Valence.

schedules.) Fixes bug 40383; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (warnings, portability, backport from 0.4.6.6):
- Suppress a strict-prototype warning when building with some
versions of NSS. Fixes bug 40409; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
