I received the following email from the Tor Project:
Hi,
You are running a bunch of Tor relays, which is great:
However, those relays' Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs,
we will soon cut relays and bridges running that version out of the
network. Please consider upgrading!
You can find Tor packages and instructions for your distro / OS here:
https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/guard/
If you need help upgrading your relays, please use the Tor Forum:
https://forum.torproject.net/c/support/relay-operator/17
Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.
Thanks!
Georg
They are currently aiming for a cut-off date 4-6 weeks from now.
This means that the version of tor that's in bullseye will essentially stop
working for most uses.
There is already a version in backports that will work fine, but perhaps
it's worth also uploading it to stable for the next point release?

I received the email below from the Tor team. The package that's currently in stable should be updated ASAP since it's going to stop working very soon. I will be switching temporarily to the package in backports, but IMO an update should be pushed to bookworm either via the security repo, or failing that as a stable update.

Dear Maintainer, While installing tor on testing(trixie), I was warned (by apt-listbugs) about this grabe bug, but the newer version seems to connect to the Tor network without issues.
Please update to bookworm.
