[tor-project] Tails report for November 2023

[bokonon]

Hello :)
*
Tails report for November 2023 <https://tails.net/news/report_2023_11/>*


  Highlights

  *

    We had asked Radically Open Security
    <https://www.radicallyopensecurity.com/> to audit Tails. The results
    of the audit <https://tails.net/news/audit_by_ROS/index.en.html>
    reinforced Tails credentials as a "solid" operating system for
    preserving anonymity.

    We were super proactive with addressing the reported
    vulnerabilities, fixing them all within 3 weeks of being reported.
    This is a reminder that as good as Tails is, it needs to be updated
    regularly!

  *

    We undertook a bunch of home improvement projects for our new
    address <https://tails.net/news/new_domain/index.en.html>. Highlights:

      o the language switcher on the website is more prominent, and also
        in the website footer,
      o warning buttons display warnings better - in a new colour, and
        with wrapped text,
      o our redesigned security page
        <https://tails.net/security/index.en.html> better showcases the
        history of our security advisories.
  *

    We have a new sponsor: igaming.com <https://www.igaming.com/> joined
    our mission! Our donors also received the quarterly newsletter with
    early insights into upcoming Tails features. You, too, could
    subscribe while making your next donation
    <https://tails.net/donate/index.en.html>. Help make our ongoing
    fundraiser <https://tails.net/news/gift_of_privacy/index.en.html> a
    success!


  Releases

November featured 2 new versions of Tails: 5.19.1 and 5.20.

5.19.1 <https://tails.net/news/version_5.19.1/index.en.html> was an 
emergency release. We updated the Tor client to bring the fix to the 
TROVE-2023-006 vulnerability 
<https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/team/-/wikis/NetworkTeam/TROVE> 
to Tails users.

And in 5.20 <https://tails.net/news/version_5.20/index.en.html>, we:

  *

    brought the usual, latest updates to Tor Browser and Thunderbird,

  *

    fixed a security vulnerability in uBlock Origin to protect Tails
    users from advanced browser fingerprinting techniques, and

  *

    continued making Persistent Storage more usable, and made it even
    easier to report issues when it doesn't work through improvements to
    WhisperBack.
