script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update for tor fixes the following issues:
- tor 0.4.8.8:
* Mitigate an issue when Tor compiled with OpenSSL can crash during
handshake with a remote relay. (TROVE-2023-004, boo#1216873)
* Regenerate fallback directories generated on November 03, 2023.
* Update the geoip files to match the IPFire Location Database, as
retrieved on 2023/11/03
* directory authority: Look at the network parameter 'maxunmeasuredbw'
with the correct spelling
* vanguards addon support: Count the conflux linked cell as valid when
it is successfully processed. This will quiet a spurious warn in the
vanguards addon
- tor 0.4.8.7:
* Fix an issue that prevented us from pre-building more conflux sets
after existing sets had been used
- tor 0.4.8.6:
* onion service: Fix a reliability issue where services were expiring
their introduction points every consensus update. This caused
connectivity issues for clients caching the old descriptor and intro
points
* Log the input and output buffer sizes when we detect a potential
compression bomb
* Disable multiple BUG warnings of a missing relay identity key when
starting an instance of Tor compiled without relay support
* When reporting a pseudo-networkstatus as a bridge authority, or
answering 'ns/purpose/*' controller requests, include accurate
published-on dates from our list of router descriptors
* Use less frightening language and lower the log-level of our run-time
ABI compatibility check message in our Zstd compression subsystem
- tor 0.4.8.5:
* bugfixes creating log BUG stacktrace
- tor 0.4.8.4:
* Extend DoS protection to partially opened channels and known relays
* Dynamic Proof-Of-Work protocol to thwart flooding DoS attacks against
hidden services. Disabled by default, enable via 'HiddenServicePoW' in
torrc
* Implement conflux traffic splitting
* Directory authorities and relays now interact properly with directory
authorities if they change addresses
- tor 0.4.7.14:
* bugfix affecting vanguards (onion service), and minor fixes
- Enable support for scrypt()");
