Description Michael Kaplan 2022-06-20 11:11:17 UTC
A Denial of Service issue was fixed in tor 0.4.7.8 related to congestion control. RTT estimation can become wedged, seriously degrading congestion control performance on all circuits. This impacts clients, onion services, and relays, and can be triggered remotely by a malicious endpoint.
