Tox... Highly encrypted P2P message and file sharing

[20:29:50] stanmrkl: oh there's a vulnerability in toxcore
[20:30:00] stanmrkl: disable UDP mode in your settings until you upgrade

Is he still using Utox rather than Qtox?

I'm not sure, he might be using an entirely different client.
But it's the core of tax that they all use that had the vulnerability.
I just downloaded the current version available to install and reinstalled it.
I didn't even have to export my profile and reimport it but I did export it first just to be safe.

Thing is, I went and looked and could not find anything in the Tox community about it... Unless I missed something. I am SURE they would have been right on that giving everyone a warning.

Yes.
Like I told you on Tox, I got an update notification for mine.
So you probably don't need it if you didn't get one.

Yep, I tried and it says mine is already up to date. If anyone wants the terminal command to do this it is...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get upgrade qtox
