[tor-talk] Tor-ramdisk 20140520 released



Hi everyone

I want to announce to the list that a new release of tor-ramdisk is out. Tor-ramdisk is an i686, x86_64 or MIPS uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Security is enhanced by hardening the kernel and binaries, and privacy is enhanced by forcing logging to be off at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported/imported by FTP or SCP.

Changelog:

This release updates tor to version 0.2.4.22, the kernel to 3.14.4 plus Gentoo's hardened-patches, and openssh to 6.6p1. The bump in tor adds an important block to authority signing keys that were used on authorities vulnerable to the "heartbleed" bug in OpenSSL, CVE-2014-0160. The bump in the kernel addresses the pty layer race condition memory corruption, CVE-2014-0196. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
