When we implemented the directory guard design, we > accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard > flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse > performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered > by Mohsen Imani. Is this bug found also in 0.2.6.10, or only in 0.2.7.5? Are users of 0.2.6.10 (as this is still the stable version; 0.2.7.6 is listed as unstable) encouraged to upgrade to 0.2.7.6? What does "weaker anonymity" mean exactly? How big is the risk? Can this bug lead to deanonymization? Thank you. - -- Oskar Wendel, [email protected] Pubkey at https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=0x6690CC52318DB84C -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWat0oAAoJEGaQzFIxjbhMYnsIAJkVa8YhXD5jWduhaEMh433L wh1suAJPTWiqFTMgRz5E9jsa+NXbOM8EqirAc3FjvNMVp4DEM9CLAEyeDDTxBBaq d3WCc17fSkfswIDx31lHmDW88ruOKjx+ldkc6aI23980uYGxBPJvdmXizxu7qTi5 eDcVCDAARj6nC2siEEFhrufUu7JpebpXsl/lufa9J40T2t33eCuLHGQ8U8xFqKrN R4+o128QSZGVsJJ/ayklXd419LYVXNeV8m/r4s4JLwWA9835JgBhjEVxySSZiYeO Prb/6PqSDckLpuuUduFC3gbqjRKHBDcxI6HyDPctN9pY4CkoUx3w4RaBl3nF9b4= =eXdI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
