Release of Tor Browser 12.0.3 and Tails 5.10 distribution

The release of Tails 5.10 (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a specialized distribution kit based on the Debian package base and designed for 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 1.2 GB.

The new version of Tails has updated Tor Browser 12.0.3 to provide a startup confirmation without unlocking persistent storage. Added documentation on working with persistent storage (Persistent Storage), used to store user data between sessions (for example, you can store files, Wi-Fi passwords, browser bookmarks, etc.). Addressed a vulnerability that could allow the amnesia user to read the contents of any system file through symbolic link manipulation.

The new version of Tor Browser 12.0.3 is in sync with the Firefox 102.8 ESR codebase, which fixes 17 vulnerabilities. Updated versions of OpenSSL 1.1.1t and NoScript 11.4.16 add-ons (warning that NoScript user preferences may be reset after the update). Reduced disk activity by disabling some unnecessary tasks and telemetry.
