This release is an emergency release to fix a critical security vulnerability
in _Tor Browser_.

You should upgrade as soon as possible.

# Changes and upgrades

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [8.5.3](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-853), which fixes a critical vulnerability in _Tor Browser_, a [_sandbox escape_](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_3.14.1/index.en.html#sandbox-escape), that we couldn't fix in time for 3.14.1.

# Fixed problems

For more details, read our [changelog](https://git-
tails.immerda.ch/tails/plain/debian/changelog).

# Known issues

## Tails fails to start a second time on some computers
([#16389](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16389))

On some computers, after installing Tails to a USB stick, Tails starts a first
time but fails to start a second time. In some cases, only BIOS (Legacy) was
affected and the USB stick was not listed in the Boot Menu.

We partially fix this issue in 3.14.1 but are still investigating it, so if it
happens to you, please report your findings by email to [tails-
testers@???](mailto:tails-testers@boum.org). Mention the model of the
computer and the USB stick. This mailing list is [archived
publicly](https://lists.autistici.org/list/tails-testers.html).

To fix this issue:

1. Reinstall your USB stick using the same installation method.

2. Start Tails for the first time and [set up an administration password](https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/startup_options/administration_password/index.en.html).

3. Choose Applications ▸ System Tools ▸ Root Terminal to open a Root Terminal.

4. Execute the following command:

sgdisk --recompute-chs /dev/bilibop

You can also test an experimental image:

1. [Download the _.img_ file from our development server](https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_bugfix-16389-recompute-chs/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/).

2. Install it using the same installation methods.

We don't provide any OpenPGP signature or other verification technique for
this test image. Please only use it for testing.

See the list of [long-standing
issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html).
