Release of the Tails 4.27 distribution

Tails 4.27 (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a specialized distribution kit, based on the Debian package base and designed to provide anonymous access to the network, has been released. Anonymous exit to Tails is provided by the Tor system. All connections, except traffic through the Tor network, are blocked by default by the packet filter. Encryption is used to store user data in the save user data between runs mode. An iso image has been prepared for download, capable of working in Live mode, with a size of 1.1 GB.

The new release updates versions of Tor Browser 11.0.6, Thunderbird 91.5 email client, and Linux kernel 5.10.92. Improved support for graphics cards, wireless chips and other hardware. Fixed an issue with connecting to wireless networks through the "Open Wi-Fi Settings" page in the Tor connection wizard.

In the coming hours, the publication of a new version of the Tor Browser 11.0.6 browser, focused on anonymity, security and privacy, is also expected. The release is synchronized with the Firefox 91.6.0 ESR codebase, which fixes 12 vulnerabilities, including a critical issue (CVE-2022-22753) that appears only on the Windows platform and allows code to execute with SYSTEM privileges and gain the ability to write to any system directory through manipulation with the update installation service. You can also note the issue CVE-2022-22754, allowing add-ons to bypass authorization verification. Updated NoScript 11.2.16 and Tor 0.4.6.9.
