Hello :)
*
Tails report for November 2023 <https://tails.net/news/report_2023_11/>*
Highlights
*
We had asked Radically Open Security
<https://www.radicallyopensecurity.com/> to audit Tails. The results
of the audit <https://tails.net/news/audit_by_ROS/index.en.html>
reinforced Tails credentials as a "solid" operating system for
preserving anonymity.
We were super proactive with addressing the reported
vulnerabilities, fixing them all within 3 weeks of being reported.
This is a reminder that as good as Tails is, it needs to be updated
regularly!
*
We undertook a bunch of home improvement projects for our new
address <https://tails.net/news/new_domain/index.en.html>. Highlights:
o the language switcher on the website is more prominent, and also
in the website footer,
o warning buttons display warnings better - in a new colour, and
with wrapped text,
o our redesigned security page
<https://tails.net/security/index.en.html> better showcases the
history of our security advisories.
*
We have a new sponsor: igaming.com <https://www.igaming.com/> joined
our mission! Our donors also received the quarterly newsletter with
early insights into upcoming Tails features. You, too, could
subscribe while making your next donation
<https://tails.net/donate/index.en.html>. Help make our ongoing
fundraiser <https://tails.net/news/gift_of_privacy/index.en.html> a
success!
Releases
November featured 2 new versions of Tails: 5.19.1 and 5.20.
5.19.1 <https://tails.net/news/version_5.19.1/index.en.html> was an
emergency release. We updated the Tor client to bring the fix to the
TROVE-2023-006 vulnerability
<https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/team/-/wikis/NetworkTeam/TROVE>
to Tails users.
And in 5.20 <https://tails.net/news/version_5.20/index.en.html>, we:
*
brought the usual, latest updates to Tor Browser and Thunderbird,
*
fixed a security vulnerability in uBlock Origin to protect Tails
users from advanced browser fingerprinting techniques, and
*
continued making Persistent Storage more usable, and made it even
easier to report issues when it doesn't work through improvements to
WhisperBack.
