Description Federico Justus Denkena 2023-12-09 06:55:30 UTC
Tor relays before version 0.4.8.10 have a high severity issue in conflux circuit building. Recommended to immediately upgrade the packages in gentoo and drop affected versions.
See: https://forum.torproject.org/t/security-release-0-4-8-10/10536
Comment 1 Federico Justus Denkena 2023-12-09 06:56:42 UTC
Major bugfixes (TROVE-2023-007, exit):
    - Improper error propagation from a safety check in conflux leg
      linking lead to a desynchronization of which legs were part of a
      conflux set, ultimately causing a UAF and NULL pointer dereference
      crash on Exit relays. Fixes bug 40897; bugfix on 0.4.8.1-alpha.
