Software-update: Tor Browser 12.0.2

Versie 12.0.2 van Tor Browser is uitgekomen. Tor staat voor The Onion Router en is een netwerk dat gebruikt kan worden om redelijk anoniem over internet te surfen. Al het tcp-verkeer van gebruikers wordt langs verschillende Tor-routers geleid, waarna het voor de ontvanger vrijwel niet meer mogelijk is om te achterhalen wie de oorspronkelijke verzender was. Binnen het Tor-netwerk is die informatie nog wel aanwezig, zodat antwoorden, uiteraard ook weer via het stelsel van routers, uiteindelijk weer op de juiste plek aankomen. Versie 12 is gebaseerd op Firefox ESR 102, waar dat bij versie 11 nog ESR 91 was. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave zien er als volgt uit:

Tor Browser 12.0.2

This release updates Firefox to 102.7, including bug fixes, stability improvements and important security updates. There were no Android-specific security updates to backport from the Firefox 109 release. We use this opportunity to update various components of Tor Browser as well:

  • tor 0.4.7.13
  • NoScript 11.4.14
  • go 1.19.5

    • We would like to thank user ryotak for identifying a script blocking bypass on local file:// resources. The full changelog since Tor Browser 12.0.1 is:
