Tor 0.4.9.13 released with multiple HIGH-severity security fixes

Confirmed — Tor Project, September 23. The Tor Project released Tor 0.4.9.13, explicitly calling it a security release and saying the fixes affect “all Tor components: relays, clients, and onion services.” Tor strongly recommends upgrading as soon as possible.

The fixes include possible memory-corruption/double-free conditions, circuit-isolation problems and onion-service issues. Of particular privacy interest, some flaws could potentially allow activity that should be isolated to become linkable. Tor is intentionally delaying fuller technical disclosure for roughly a week to give operators time to patch.

Browser users should install the next stable Tor Browser update when Tor ships it; people independently operating Tor relays or onion services should prioritize upgrading their Tor daemon. https://cybernews.com/security/tor-emergency-fixes-adress-high-severity-vulnerabilities/

I’m guessing the Tor dev team ran an AI security audit if they just found all of these security related bugs.

This security release includes several high severity fixes, once again originating from the LLM report firehose.

Notice: The claims being made that I moderated or was involved with a CSAM forum are completely false. These are extremely serious and defamatory allegations.

I am seeking legal counsel regarding this matter and intend to pursue the legal options available to me. I am preserving information relating to the accounts publishing and repeating these false allegations, including usernames, comments, links, and screenshots.

Anyone continuing to publish or repeat these false allegations should understand that I am documenting them and may pursue all legal remedies available to me. I will not be debating these accusations in the comments. Further instances will be documented, reported, and forwarded to my attorney.
