Critical security fixes
The vulnerabilities described below were identified during an external security audit by Radically Open Security and disclosed responsibly to our team. We are not aware of these attacks being used against Tails users until now.HxR免费翻墙网
These vulnerabilities can only be exploited by a powerful attacker who has already exploited another vulnerability to take control of an application in Tails.HxR免费翻墙网
If you want to be extra careful and used Tails a lot since January 9 without upgrading, we recommend that you do a manual upgrade instead of an automatic upgrade.HxR免费翻墙网

Prevent an attacker from installing malicious software permanently. (#20701)HxR免费翻墙网
In Tails 6.10 or earlier, an attacker who has already taken control of an application in Tails could then exploit a vulnerability in Tails Upgrader to install a malicious upgrade and permanently take control of your Tails.HxR免费翻墙网
Doing a manual upgrade would erase such malicious software.HxR免费翻墙网

- In Onion Circuits , to get information about Tor circuits and close them.

New features
Detection of partitioning errors
Sometimes, the partitions on a Tails USB stick get corrupted. This creates errors with the Persistent Storage or during upgrades. Partitions can get corrupted because of broken or counterfeit hardware, software errors, or physically removing the USB stick while Tails is running.HxR免费翻墙网
Tails now warns about such partitioning errors earlier. For example, if partitioning errors are detected when there is no Persistent Storage, Tails recommends that you reinstall or use a new USB stick.HxR免费翻墙网
