The Tor Project has issued an emergency security bugfix release of Tor Browser, to prevent user IP address leakage due to a still unpatched Firefox bug.

The bug is present only in the macOS and Linux versions of the browser, so those users are advised to upgrade to version 7.0.9 (or 7.5a7, for those who use the alpha channel).
