 Changes in version 0.4.6.7 - 2021-08-16
-  This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions.
+  This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor, including one
+  that could lead to a denial-of-service attack. Everyone running an earlier
+  version, whether as a client, a relay, or an onion service, should upgrade
+  to Tor 0.3.5.16, 0.4.5.10, or 0.4.6.7.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (cryptography, security):
+    - Resolve an assertion failure caused by a behavior mismatch between
+      our batch-signature verification code and our single-signature
+      verification code. This assertion failure could be triggered
+      remotely, leading to a denial of service attack. We fix this issue
+      by disabling batch verification. Fixes bug 40078; bugfix on
+      0.2.6.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2021-007 and
+      CVE-2021-38385. Found by Henry de Valence.
 
   o Minor feature (fallbackdir):
     - Regenerate fallback directories list. Close ticket 40447.
