+Changes in version 0.4.1.9 - 2020-03-18
+  Tor 0.4.1.9 backports important fixes from later Tor releases,
+  including a fix for TROVE-2020-002, a major denial-of-service
+  vulnerability that affected all released Tor instances since
+  0.2.1.5-alpha. Using this vulnerability, an attacker could cause Tor
+  instances to consume a huge amount of CPU, disrupting their operations
+  for several seconds or minutes. This attack could be launched by
+  anybody against a relay, or by a directory cache against any client
+  that had connected to it. The attacker could launch this attack as
+  much as they wanted, thereby disrupting service or creating patterns
+  that could aid in traffic analysis. This issue was found by OSS-Fuzz,
+  and is also tracked as CVE-2020-10592.
+
+  We do not have reason to believe that this attack is currently being
+  exploited in the wild, but nonetheless we advise everyone to upgrade
+  as soon as packages are available.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (security, denial-of-service, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
+    - Fix a denial-of-service bug that could be used by anyone to
+      consume a bunch of CPU on any Tor relay or authority, or by
+      directories to consume a bunch of CPU on clients or hidden
+      services. Because of the potential for CPU consumption to
+      introduce observable timing patterns, we are treating this as a
+      high-severity security issue. Fixes bug 33119; bugfix on
+      0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz. We are also tracking this issue
+      as TROVE-2020-002 and CVE-2020-10592.
+
+  o Major bugfixes (circuit padding, memory leak, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
+    - Avoid a remotely triggered memory leak in the case that a circuit
+      padding machine is somehow negotiated twice on the same circuit.
+      Fixes bug 33619; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. Found by Tobias Pulls.
+      This is also tracked as TROVE-2020-004 and CVE-2020-10593.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (bridges, backport from 0.4.3.1-alpha):
+    - Lowercase the configured value of BridgeDistribution before adding
+      it to the descriptor. Fixes bug 32753; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha):
+    - If we encounter a bug when flushing a buffer to a TLS connection,
+      only log the bug once per invocation of the Tor process.
+      Previously we would log with every occurrence, which could cause
+      us to run out of disk space. Fixes bug 33093; bugfix
+      on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (onion services v3, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
+    - Fix an assertion failure that could result from a corrupted
+      ADD_ONION control port command. Found by Saibato. Fixes bug 33137;
+      bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
+      as TROVE-2020-003.
+
+  o Minor bugfixes (rust, build, backport from 0.4.3.2-alpha):
+    - Fix a syntax warning given by newer versions of Rust that was
+      creating problems for our continuous integration. Fixes bug 33212;
+      bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+  o Testing (Travis CI, backport from 0.4.3.3-alpha):
+    - Remove a redundant distcheck job. Closes ticket 33194.
+    - Sort the Travis jobs in order of speed: putting the slowest jobs
+      first takes full advantage of Travis job concurrency. Closes
+      ticket 33194.
+    - Stop allowing the Chutney IPv6 Travis job to fail. This job was
+      previously configured to fast_finish (which requires
+      allow_failure), to speed up the build. Closes ticket 33195.
+    - When a Travis chutney job fails, use chutney's new "diagnostics.sh"
+      tool to produce detailed diagnostic output. Closes ticket 32792.
