A new alpha Tor Browser release is available for download in the 5.5a6 distribution directory and on the alpha download page.
This release features an important fix for a crash bug in one of our patches. All users are encouraged to update immediately as this bug is probably exploitable if JavaScript is enabled. The bug was not exploitable at High security level, or on non-HTTPS websites at Medium-High security level.
In the past, signing Windows .exe files on a Linux machine caused verification errors on some Windows 10 systems. This should be fixed by adding the intermediate certificate in the signing process now.
Here is the complete changelog since 5.5a5:
- All Platforms
- Update NoScript to 2.9
- Update HTTPS Everywhere to 5.1.2
- Bug 17931: Tor Browser crashes in LogMessageToConsole()
- Bug 17875: Discourage editing of torrc-defaults
- Bug 17870: Add intermediate certificate for authenticode signing
