Changes in version 0.2.5.4-alpha - 2014-04-??
o Major features (security):
- Block authority signing keys that were used on an authorities
vulnerable to the "heartbleed" bug in openssl (CVE-2014-0160).
(We don't have any evidence that these keys _were_ compromised;
we're doing this to be prudent.) Resolves ticket 11464.
o Deprecated versions:
- Tor 0.2.2.x has reached end-of-life; it has received no patches or
attention for some while. Directory authorities no longer accept

the circuits. These functions previously accounted between 3 and
7% of CPU usage on some busy relays.
o Major features (seccomp2 sandbox):
- Refinements and improvements to the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code:
the sandbox can now run a test network for multiple hours without
crashing. (Previous crash reasons included: reseeding the OpenSSL PRNG,
seeding the Libevent PRNG, using the wrong combination of CLOEXEC and
NONBLOCK at the same place and time, having server keys, being an
authority, receiving a HUP, or using IPv6.) The sandbox is still
experimental, and more bugs will probably turn up. To try it,
enable "Sandbox 1" on a Linux host.
- Strengthen the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code: the sandbox can now
test the arguments for rename(), and blocks _sysctl() entirely.
- When the Linux syscall sandbox finds an illegal system call, it
now tries to log a stack trace before exiting. Resolves ticket
11465.
o Major bugfixes (TLS cipher selection):
- Generate the server's preference list for ciphersuites
automatically based on uniform criteria, and considering all
OpenSSL ciphersuites with acceptable strength and forward
secrecy. (The sort order is: prefer AES to 3DES; break ties by
preferring ECDHE to DHE; break ties by preferring GCM to CBC;
break ties by preferring SHA384 to SHA256 to SHA1; and finally,
break ties by preferring AES256 to AES128.) This resolves bugs
#11513, #11492, #11498, #11499. Bugs reported by 'cypherpunks'.
Bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

- Log only one message when we start logging in an unsafe
way. Previously, we would log as many messages as we had
problems. Fix for #9870; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Using the Linux syscall sandbox no longer prevents stack-trace
logging on crashes or errors. Fixes part 11465; bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Only report the first fatal boostrap error on a given OR
connection. This prevents controllers from declaring that a
connection has failed because of "DONE" or other junk reasons.
Fixes bug 10431; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (closing channels):
- If write_to_buf() in connection_write_to_buf_impl_() ever fails,
check if it's an or_connection_t and correctly call
connection_or_close_for_error() rather than connection_mark_for_close()
directly. Fixes bug #11304; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- When closing all connections on setting DisableNetwork to 1, use
connection_or_close_normally() rather than closing orconns out from
under the channel layer. Fixes bug #11306; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Avoid sending an garbage value to the controller when a circuit is
cannibalized. Fixes bug 11519; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (windows):
o Minor features (Transparent proxy):
- Support the ipfw firewall interface for transparent proxy support on
FreeBSD. To enable it, set "TransProxyType ipfw" in your torrc.
Resolves ticket 10267; patch from "yurivict".
- Support OpenBSD's divert-to rules with the pf firewall, when
"TransProxyType pf-divert" is specified. This allows Tor to run a
TransPort transparent proxy port on OpenBSD 4.4 or later without
root privileges. See the pf.conf(5) manual page for information on
configuring pf to use divert-to rules. Closes ticket 10896; patch
from Dana Koch.
o Minor features (security):
- New --enable-expensive-hardening option to turn on security hardening
options that consume nontrivial amounts of CPU and memory. Right now,
this includes AddressSanitizer and UbSan. Closes ticket 11477.
o Minor features (usability):
- Demote the message that we give when a flushing connection times
out for too long from NOTICE to INFO. It was usually meaningless.
Resolves ticket 5286.
o Minor features (performance, compatibility):
- Update the list of TLS cipehrsuites that a client advertises
to match those advertised by Firefox 28. This enables selection of
(fast) GCM ciphersuites, disables some strange old ciphers, and
disables the ECDH (not to be confused with ECDHE) ciphersuites.
Resolves ticket 11438.
