Tor 0.2.0.35 fixes a big bug that was causing Tor relays with dynamic IP addresses to disappear from the network. It also fixes a rare crash bug on fast exit relays. https://www.torproject.org/easy-download.html Changes in version 0.2.0.35 - 2009-06-24 o Security fix: - Avoid crashing in the presence of certain malformed descriptors. Found by lark, and by automated fuzzing. - Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta. o Major bugfixes: - Finally fix the bug where dynamic-IP relays disappear when their IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling them their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they never got an accurate answer about their new address, so they just vanished after a day. For belt-and-suspenders, relays that don't set Address in their config now avoid using begin_dir for all direct connections. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900. - Fix a timing-dependent, allocator-dependent, DNS-related crash bug that would occur on some exit nodes when DNS failures and timeouts occurred in certain patterns. Fix for bug 957. o Minor bugfixes: - When starting with a cache over a few days old, do not leak memory for the obsolete router descriptors in it. Bugfix on 0.2.0.33; fixes bug 672.(Continue reading)
