# [Tails 5.17.1](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.17.1/index.en.html)

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

We'd like to dedicate this Tails release to Debian developer Abraham Raji who
[tragically lost his life in an
accident](https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20230914) on the 13th of September,
2023.

# Changes and updates

* Update _Tor Browser_ to [12.5.4](https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-1254) which fixes [CVE-2023-4863: Heap buffer overflow in libwebp](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2023-40/).

* Update _Tor_ to 0.4.8.5.

For more details, read our
[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).

# Known issues

None specific to this release.

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

# Get Tails 5.17.1

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.17.1.

You can [reduce the size of the
download](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.

* If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual upgrade](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).

## To install Tails on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

* [Install from Windows](https://tails.boum.org/install/windows/index.en.html)
* [Install from macOS](https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/index.en.html)

* [Install from Debian or Ubuntu using the command line and GnuPG](https://tails.boum.org/install/expert/index.en.html)

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install instead of
upgrading.
