Tor 0.4.9.14 released with high-severity security fixes

According to the advisory relayed through the oss-sec list and posted by Sam James on 7 October 2026, Tor version 0.4.9.14 fixes high-severity issues affecting all components: relay, client, onion service and authority. The changelog cites important bug fixes related to conflux, relay and security, including the rule to accept a CONFLUX_LINK cell only on a simple OR circuit. Maintainers recommend updating as soon as possible. The source text is a machine translation; for identifiers, technical details and the full list of fixes, consult the original advisory on the oss-sec list and the official Tor changelog, and check the installed version with the software's own version command. Relevance for Rota Nacional: Rota does not fix or operate the Tor network and does not replace updating these components. If your team uses AI to study the advisory or plan the update, do not paste keys, passwords, configurations containing personal data or customer logs into the prompt. The platform's personal data detection acts before the model runs, but care at input remains the team's responsibility.
