Fedora 25: Critical Update for Torbrowser-Launcher GPG Keyring Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey August 20, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 25 revision releases fix GPG keyring updates to avoid incorrect signature validations for tor-browser-launcher.
Automatically refresh GPG keyring, to prevent signature verification false positives

Summary

Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make Tor Browser easier to

install and use for GNU/Linux users. You install torbrowser-launcher

from your distribution's package manager and it handles everything else:

* Downloads and installs the most recent version of Tor Browser in your language

and for your computer's architecture, or launches Tor Browser if it's already

installed (Tor Browser will automatically update itself)

* Verifies Tor Browser's signature for you, to ensure the version you downloaded

was cryptographically signed by Tor developers and was not tampered with

* Adds "Tor Browser" and "Tor Browser Launcher Settings" application launcher

to your desktop environment's menu

* Optionally plays a modem sound when you open Tor Browser

(because Tor is so slow)

Automatically refresh GPG keyring, to prevent signature verification false

positives
