The release of the specialized Tails 4.27 distribution (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) has been generated, based on the Debian package base and designed for providing anonymous network access. Anonymous access in Tails is ensured by the Tor system. All connections except for traffic through the Tor network are blocked by the packet filter by default. Encryption is used to store user data in data persistence mode between sessions. An ISO image has been prepared for loading, capable of operating in Live mode, with a size of 1.1 GB.
In the new release, updates have been made to Tor Browser 11.0.6, the Thunderbird email client 91.5, and the Linux kernel 5.10.92. Improved support for graphics cards, wireless chips, and other hardware has been implemented. A problem with connecting to wireless networks via the āOpen Wi-Fi Settingsā page in the Tor connection wizard has been resolved.
A new version of the Tor Browser 11.0.6, aimed at ensuring anonymity, security, and privacy, is expected to be published in the coming hours. This release is synchronized with the Firefox 91.6.0 ESR codebase, which has resolved 12 vulnerabilities, including a critical issue (CVE-2022-22753) that manifests only on Windows platforms, allowing code execution with SYSTEM privileges and writing to any system directory through manipulation with the update service. Another noted issue is CVE-2022-22754, which allows extensions to bypass credential confirmation. The versions of NoScript 11.2.16 and Tor 0.4.6.9 have also been updated.
