Tor Browser Bundle 4.0.8 – Tweakers

Version 4.0.7 of the Tor Browser Bundle is true and because of a problem is this shortly afterwards succeeded by version 4.0.8. Tor stands for The Onion Router and is a network that can be used to browse anonymously on the Internet. All of the TCP traffic from users is passed along various Tor-routers, after which it for the receiver is no longer possible to determine who was the original sender. Inside the Tor network is that information is still present, so answer – of course again via the system of routers – finally arriving back in the right place. The release notes for this release can be found below.

Tor Browser 4.0.8 is released
 

A new release for the stable Tor Browser is available from the Tor Browser Project page and usefull from our distribution directory.

 

This release contains a fix for the update loop issue present in 4.0.7. It is identical otherewise To that release.

 

Both 4.0.7 and 4.0.8 containers included an update to the Tor software to fix two crash bugs in the version of the Tor software included prior to 4.0.7. One crash bug affects only people using the bundled tor binaries to run hidden services, and the other crash bug payback from a malicious website or Tor exit node to crash the under lying tor client by inducing it to load a resource from a hidden service with a malformed descriptor . These bugs do not allow remote code execution, but Because They can be used by arbitrary actors to perform a denial of service, we are issuing a security update to address them.

 

There Will Be no correspondance thing 4,5-alpha release for this fix, to allow us to focus on stabilizing That series for release in ~ 2 weeks.

 

Note to MacOS users: This is the last planned release thatwill run on 32-bit Mac OS versions. Users of Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and newer versions will be automatically updated to the 64 bit Tor Browser 4.5 When It is stabilized in April, and we expect this transition to be smooth For Those users. HOWEVER, the update process for 10.6 and 10.7 users will unfortunately not be automatic. For more details, see the original end-of-life blog.
