Dear All,
I can see in OrNetStats that I have several relays marked as having a vulnerable Tor version. But when I checked and tried to update them, I was told that everything was up to date. In 2 cases relays rented at the same time on the same host have different versions. AlexHost running FreeBSD release 12.1 and 12.2 respectively: 0.4.6.7 and 0.4.5.8 CoolComputers both running Centos8.4.2105: 0.4.6.6 and 0.4.5.10
I'm not sure why the same package repo would cough up different tor versions for different servers - is the answer to sit tight and wait for the older versions to catch up, or is there a way to force the older ones to update to a newer tor version? (My oldest version is 0.4.5.8).
TIA,
--Torix

correct, some of your relays run versions before the latest stable security releases and are vulnerable to CVE-2021-38385 (DoS) https://blog.torproject.org/node/2062

FreeBSD ships tor version 0.4.6.7 - which is fine. https://www.freshports.org/security/tor/ If you do not get that version via pkg make sure you use the latest (not quarterly) repo to get the latest updates sooner.

EPEL 8 has tor version 0.4.5.10 which is also fine. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=tor

Thanks very much, Nusenu - I was sometimes copying a bad configuration file from one to another FreeBSD relays; Tor versions are all good now. I won't worry why one of my relays with the EPEL 8 repo got me 0.4.6.7 while the other two are at 0.4.5.10 since 5.10 is good enough.
