Initial changelog draft for 0.4.1.1-alpha (mostly automated)
2019-05-17 16:12:07 +02:00
Changes in version 0.4.1.1-alpha - 2019-05-??
This is the first alpha in the 0.4.1.x series. It introduces
lightweight circuit padding to make some onion-service circuits harder
to distinguish, includes a new "authenticated SENDME" feature to make
certain denial-of-service attacks more difficult, and improves
performance in several areas.
o Major features (Circuit padding):
- Onion service clients will now add padding cells to the initial
portions of their INTRODUCE and RENDEZVOUS circuits, to make those
circuits' traffic patterns look more like general purpose Exit
traffic. The overhead for this is 2 extra cells in each direction
for RENDEZVOUS circuits, and 1 extra upstream cell and 10
downstream cells for INTRODUCE circuits. This will only be enabled
if the circuit's middle node supports this feature, too. (Clients
may specify fixed middle nodes with the MiddleNodes torrc
directive, and may force-disable this feature with the
CircuitPadding torrc directive). Closes ticket 28634.
o Major features (code organization):
- Tor now includes a generic publish-subscribe message-passing
subsystem that we can use to organize intermodule dependencies. We
hope to use this to reduce dependencies between modules that don't
need to be related, and to generally simplify our codebase. Closes
ticket 28226.
o Major features (controller protocol):
- Controller commands are now parsed using a generalized parsing
subsystem. Previously, each controller command was responsible for
parsing its own input. Closes ticket 30091.
o Major features (flow control):
- Implement authenticated SENDMEs detailed in proposal 289. A SENDME
cell now includes the digest of the last cell received so once the
end point receives the SENDME, it can confirm the other side's
knowledge of the previous cells that were sent. This behavior is
controlled by two new consensus parameters, see proposal for more
details. Fixes ticket 26288.
o Major features (performance):
- Update our node selection algorithm to exclude nodes in linear
time. Previously, the algorithm was quadratic, which could slow
down heavily used onion services. Closes ticket 30307.
o Minor feature (circuit padding):
- We now use a fast RNG when scheduling circuit padding. Part of
ticket 28636.
o Minor feature (maintenance scripts):
- Add to scripts/maint/ helper maintainer scripts used for git
maintenance. Closes ticket 29391.
o Minor features (circuit padding):
- Allow the padding machine designer to pick the edges of their
histogram instead of trying to compute them automatically using an
exponential formula. Resolves some undefined behavior in the case
of small histograms and allows greater flexibility on machine
design. Closes ticket 29298; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Provide the ability for circuit padding machines to hold a circuit
open until they are done padding it. Closes ticket 28780.
o Minor features (compile-time modules):
- Add a --list-modules command to print a list of which compile-time
modules are enabled. Closes ticket 30452.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- Remove sudo configuration lines from .travis.yml as they are no
longer needed with current Travis build environment. Resolves
issue 30213.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add onion service version 3 support to HSFETCH. Previously, only
version 2 onion services were supported. Closes ticket 25417.
Patch by Neel Chauhan
o Minor features (debugging):
- Introduce tor_assertf() and tor_assertf_nonfatal() to enable
logging of additional information during assert failure. Now we
can use format strings to include pieces of information that are
relevant for trouble shooting. Resolves ticket 29662.
o Minor features (defense in depth):
- In smartlist_remove_keeporder(), set any pointers that become
unused to NULL, in case a bug causes them to be used later. Closes
ticket 30176. Patch from Tobias Stoeckmann.
- Tor now uses a fast cryptographically strong PRNG even for
decisions that we do not believe are security-sensitive.
Previously, for performance reasons, we had used a trivially
predictable linear congruential generator algorithm for certain
load-balancing and statistical sampling decisions. Now we use our
fast RNG in those cases. Closes ticket 29542.
o Minor features (developer tooling):
- Call practracker from pre-push and pre-commit git hooks to let a
developer know if they made any code style violations in their
last commit. This should help preventing code style violations
appearing upstream. Closes ticket 30051.
- Call pre-commit git hook from pre-push hook to make sure we're
running documentation and code style checks before pushing to
remote git repository. Implements feature 30033.
- Modify git pre-push hook script to disallow pushing branches other
than master, release-* and maint-* to origin remote. Implements
feature 29532.
o Minor features (developer tools):
- Add a script to check that each header has a well-formed and
unique guard marco. Closes ticket 29756.
- Introduce a post-merge git hook script to check if we're pulling
in any changes to our git workspace management scripts from
upstream. Resolves issue 29588.
o Minor features (development tools):
- Tor's test scripts now check for files and functions that seem too
long and complicated. Existing overlong functions and files are
accepted for now, but should eventually be refactored. Closes
ticket 29221.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 13 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 30522.
o Minor features (git scripts):
- In git-pull-all.sh, also fetch the latest tor-github pull
requests. Implements ticket 30114.
o Minor features (HTTP tunnel):
- Return an informative web page when the HTTPTunnelPort is used as
an HTTP proxy. Closes ticket 27821, patch by "eighthave".
o Minor features (IPv6, v3 onion services):
- Make v3 onion services put IPv6 addresses in service descriptors.
Before this change, service descriptors only contained IPv4
addressesd. Implements 26992.
o Minor features (modularity):
- The --disable-module-dirauth compile-time option now disables even
more dirauth-only code. Closes ticket 30345.
o Minor features (performance):
- Use OpenSSL's implementations of SHA3 when available (in OpenSSL
1.1.1 and later), since they tend to be faster than tiny-keccak.
Closes ticket 28837.
o Minor features (performance, RNG):
- Tor now constructs a fast secure pseudorandom number generator for
each thread, to use for cases where performance is critical. This
PRNG is based on AES-CTR, using a buffering construction similar
to libottery and the (newer) OpenBSD arc4random() code. It
outperforms OpenSSL 1.1.1a's CSPRNG by roughly a factor of 100 for
small outputs. Although we believe it to be cryptographically
strong, we are only using it when necessary for reasonable
performance. Implements tickets 29023 and 29536.
o Minor features (testing):
- Tor's unit test code now contains a standard set of functions to
replace the PRNG with a deterministic or reproducible version for
testing. Previously, various tests implemented this in various
ways. Implements ticket 29732.
- We now have a script, cov-test-determinism.sh, to identify places
where our unit test coverage has become nondeterministic. Closes
ticket 29436.
o Minor bugfixes (bridge authority):
- We set bridges as running when we dump the bridge status to a
file. Previously, we set bridges as running in a GETINFO
controller, but these shouldn't modify vital data structures.
Fixes bug 24490; bugfix on 0.2.0.13-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan
o Minor bugfixes (Channel padding statistics):
- Channel padding write totals and padding-enabled totals are now
counted properly in relay extrainfo descriptors. Fixes bug 29231;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha
o Minor bugfixes (circuit padding):
- Add a torrc option to disable circuit padding. Fixes bug 28693;
bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Allow circuit padding machines to specify that they do not
contribute much overhead, and provide consensus flags and torrc
options to force clients to only use low overhead machines. Fixes
bug 29203; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Provide consensus parameter to fully disable circuit padding, to
be used in emergency network overload situations. Fixes bug 30173;
bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- The circuit padding subsystem does not schedule padding if dormant
mode is enabled. Fixes bug 28636; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (circuitpadding):
- Inspect circuit-level cell queue before sending padding, to avoid
sending padding while too much data is queued. Fixes bug 29204;
bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, unusual configuration):
- Avoid failures when building with ALL_BUGS_ARE_FAILED due to
missing declarations of abort(), and prevent other such failures
in the future. Fixes bug 30189; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller protocol):
- Teach the controller parser to correctly distinguish an object
preceded by an argument list from one without. Previously, it
couldn't distinguish an argument list from the first line of a
multiline object. Fixes bug 29984; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (developer tools):
- Update our pre-commit.git-hook script to work correctly on older
Tor branches and release branches without any changes files, and
to actually exit when something fails. Fixes bug 29553; bugfix
on 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (dirauth, ipv6):
- If we are a durauth with IPv6 and are marking relays as running,
mark ourselves as reachable on IPv6. Fixes bug 24338; bugfix on
0.4.0.2-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Improve the documentation for MapAddress .exit. Fixes bug 30109;
bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Improve the monotonic time module and function documentation.
Explain what "monotonic" actually means, and document some results
that have surprised people. Fixes bug 29640; bugfix
on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation, manpage):
- Use proper formatting when providing an example on quoting options
that contain whitespace. Fixes bug 29635; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (lib):
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Do not log a warning for OpenSSL versions that should be
compatible. Fixes bug 30190; bugfix on 0.2.4.2-alpha
o Minor bugfixes (logging, configuration):
- Warn operators when MyFamily option is set but ContactInfo is
missing, as the latter should be set too. Fixes bug 25110; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
- Avoid a minor memory leak that could occur on relays when creating
a keys directory failed. Fixes bug 30148; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Avoid a GCC 9.1.1 warning (and possible crash depending on libc
implemenation) when failing to load an onion service client
authorization file. Fixes bug 30475; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
- If we are launching repeated HSFETCH queries and are rate-limited,
we introduce a new controller response QUERY_RATE_LIMITED instead
of QUERY_NO_HSDIR, while keeping the latter for when onion service
directories are missing a descriptor. Previously, we returned
QUERY_NO_HSDIR for both cases. Fixes bug 28269; bugfix on
0.3.1.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan
- If we are relaunching a circuit to a rendevous service in
rend_service_relaunch_rendezvous() and
hs_service_requires_uptime_circ() is true, the
CIRCLAUNCH_NEED_UPTIME flag is added to the circuit. Previously,
we only set this flag when we received a INTRODUCE2 cell in
rend_service_receive_introduction(). Fixes bug 17357; bugfix on
0.4.0.2-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan
o Minor bugfixes (onion services, performance):
- If we are building circuits to onion services, in
circuit_is_acceptable() we only call tor_addr_parse() in places
where we use the returned family and address values from this
function. Previously, we called tor_addr_parse() in
circuit_is_acceptable() even if it wasn't used. This change will
improve performance when building circuits. Fixes bug 22210;
bugfix on 0.2.8.12. Patch by Neel Chauhan
o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- When checking a node for bridge status, use a fast check to make
sure that its identity is set. Previously, we used a constant-time
check, which is not necessary when verifying a BUG() condition that
causes a stack trace. Fixes bug 30308; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
- Tor now sets TOR_PT_EXIT_ON_STDIN_CLOSE=1 for client transports as
well as servers. Fixes bug 25614; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (probability distributions):
- Refactor and improve parts of the probability distribution code
that made Coverity complain. Fixes bug 29805; bugfix
on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (python):
- Stop assuming that /usr/bin/python3 exists. For scripts that work
with python2, use /usr/bin/python. Otherwise, use /usr/bin/env
python3. Fixes bug 29913; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- If we are are a relay and have IPv6Exit to 1 while ExitRelay is
auto, we act as if ExitRelay is 1. Previously, we ignored IPv6Exit
if ExitRelay was 0 or auto. Fixes bug 29613; bugfix on
0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
o Minor bugfixes (stats):
- When ExtraInfoStatistics is 0, stop including bandwidth usage
statistics, GeoIPFile hashes, ServerTransportPlugin lines, and
bridge statistics by country in extra-info documents. Fixes bug
29018; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Call setrlimit() to disable core dumps in test_bt_cl.c instead of
using `ulimit -c` in test_bt.sh, which violates POSIX shell
compatibility. Fixes bug 29061; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, v3 onion services):
- Fix some incorrect code in the v3 onion service unit tests. Fixes
bug 29243; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tor-resolve):
- Fix a memory leak in tor-resolve that could happen if Tor gave it
a malformed SOCKS response. (Memory leaks in tor-resolve don't
actually matter, but it's good to fix them anyway.) Fixes bug
30151; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- In the "routerkeys/*" tests, check the return values of mkdir()
for possible failures. Fixes bug 29939; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
Found by Coverity as CID 1444254.
- Split test_utils_general() to several smaller test functions in
test_utils_general(). This makes it easier to perform resource
deallocation on assert failure and fixes Coverity warnings CID
1444117 and CID 1444118. Fixes bug 29823; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (v3 onion services):
- Stop ignoring IPv6 link specifiers sent to v3 onion services. v3
onion service IPv6 support is still incomplete, see 23493 for
details. Fixes bug 23588; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by
Neel Chauhan.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Abstract out the low-level formatting of replies on the control
port. Implements ticket 30007.
- Add several assertions in an attempt to fix some Coverity
warnings. Closes ticket 30149.
- Introduce a connection_dir_buf_add() helper function that checks
for compress_state of dir_connection_t and automatically writes a
string to directory connection with or without compression.
Resolves issue 28816.
- Make the base32_decode() API return the number of bytes written,
for consistency with base64_decode(). Closes ticket 28913.
- Move most relay-only periodic events out of mainloop.c into the
relay subsystem. Closes ticket 30414.
- Refactor and encapsulate parts of the codebase that manipulate
crypt_path_t objects. Resolves issue 30236.
- Refactor several places in our code that coverity incorrectly
believed that we might have memory leaks, so that we can analyze
our software more easily. Closes ticket 30147.
- Remove redundant return values in crypto_format, and the
associated return value checks elsewhere in the code. Make the
implementations in crypto_format consistent, and remove redundant
code. Resolves ticket 29660.
- Rename tor_mem_is_zero() to fast_mem_is_zero(), to emphasize that
it is not a constant-time function. Closes ticket 30309.
- Replace hs_desc_link_specifier_t with link_specifier_t, and remove
all hs_desc_link_specifier_t-specific code. Fixes bug 22781;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Simplify v3 onion service link specifier handling code. Fixes bug
23576; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Split crypto_digest.c into three parts: 1) general code that does
not depend on either NSS or OpenSSL (stays in crypto_digest.c); 2)
code that depends on NSS API (moved to crypto_digest_nss.c); 3)
code that depends on OpenSSL API (moved to
crypto_digest_openssl.c). Resolves ticket 29108.
- Split up the control.c file into several submodules, in
preparation for distributing its current responsibilities
throughout the codebase. Closes ticket 29894.
- Start move responsibility for knowing about periodic events to the
appropriate subsystems, so that the mainloop doesn't need to know
all the periodic events in the rest of the codebase. Implements
tickets 30293 and 30294.
o Documentation:
- Document how to find git commits and tags for bug fixes in
CodingStandards.md. And update some changes file documentation.
Closes ticket 30261.
o Removed features:
- Remove linux-tor-prio.sh script from contrib/operator-tools
directory. Resolves issue 29434.
- Remove obsolete OpenSUSE initscript. Resolves issue 30076.
- Remove the obsolete script at contrib/dist/tor.sh.in. Resolves
issue 30075.
o Testing:
- Check that representative subsets of values of `int` and `unsigned
int` can be represented by `void *`. Resolves issue 29537.
o Code simplification and refactoring (circuit padding):
- Avoid calling monotime_absolute_usec() in circuit padding machines
that do not use token removal or circuit RTT estimation. Fixes bug
29085; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring (shell scripts):
- Cleanup autogen.sh to silence shellcheck warnings. Closes
ticket 26069.
- Cleanup test_keygen.sh to silence all shellcheck warnings. Closes
ticket 29062.
- Cleanup test_switch_id.sh to silence shellcheck warnings. Closes
ticket 29065.

warnings. Fixes issue 29067.
o Testing (chutney):
- In "make test-network-all", test IPv6-only v3 single onion
services, using the chutney network single-onion-v23-ipv6-md. This
test will not pass until 23588 has been merged. Closes
ticket 27251.
o Testing (continuous integration):
- In Travis, show stem's tor log after failure. Closes ticket 30234.
forward-port changelog and releasenotes from 0.4.0.5
2019-05-02 20:32:24 +02:00
Changes in version 0.4.0.5 - 2019-05-02
This is the first stable release in the 0.4.0.x series. It contains
improvements for power management and bootstrap reporting, as well as
preliminary backend support for circuit padding to prevent some kinds
of traffic analysis. It also continues our work in refactoring Tor for
long-term maintainability.
Per our support policy, we will support the 0.4.0.x series for nine
months, or until three months after the release of a stable 0.4.1.x:
whichever is longer. If you need longer-term support, please stick
with 0.3.5.x, which will we plan to support until Feb 2022.
Below are the changes since 0.4.0.4-rc. For a complete list of changes
since 0.3.5.7, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- In Travis, tell timelimit to use stem's backtrace signals, and
launch python directly from timelimit, so python receives the
signals from timelimit, rather than make. Closes ticket 30117.
o Minor features (diagnostic):
- Add more diagnostic log messages in an attempt to solve the issue
of NUL bytes appearing in a microdescriptor cache. Related to
ticket 28223.
o Minor features (testing):
- Use the approx_time() function when setting the "Expires" header
in directory replies, to make them more testable. Needed for
ticket 30001.
o Minor bugfixes (rust):
- Abort on panic in all build profiles, instead of potentially
unwinding into C code. Fixes bug 27199; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (shellcheck):
- Look for scripts in their correct locations during "make
shellcheck". Previously we had looked in the wrong place during
out-of-tree builds. Fixes bug 30263; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Check the time in the "Expires" header using approx_time(). Fixes
bug 30001; bugfix on 0.4.0.4-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (UI):
- Lower log level of unlink() errors during bootstrap. Fixes bug
29930; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
forward-port the 0.4.0.4-rc changelog
2019-04-11 23:06:19 +02:00
Changes in version 0.4.0.4-rc - 2019-04-11
Tor 0.4.0.4-rc is the first release candidate in its series; it fixes
several bugs from earlier versions, including some that had affected
stability, and one that prevented relays from working with NSS.
o Major bugfixes (NSS, relay):
- When running with NSS, disable TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use
SHA384 for their PRF. Due to an NSS bug, the TLS key exporters for
these ciphersuites don't work -- which caused relays to fail to
handshake with one another when these ciphersuites were enabled.
Fixes bug 29241; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor features (bandwidth authority):
- Make bandwidth authorities ignore relays that are reported in the
bandwidth file with the flag "vote=0". This change allows us to
report unmeasured relays for diagnostic reasons without including
their bandwidth in the bandwidth authorities' vote. Closes
ticket 29806.
- When a directory authority is using a bandwidth file to obtain the
bandwidth values that will be included in the next vote, serve
this bandwidth file at /tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth. Closes
ticket 21377.
o Minor features (circuit padding):
- Stop warning about undefined behavior in the probability
distribution tests. Float division by zero may technically be
undefined behavior in C, but it's well defined in IEEE 754.
Partial backport of 29298. Closes ticket 29527; bugfix
on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- On Travis Rust builds, cleanup Rust registry and refrain from
caching the "target/" directory to speed up builds. Resolves
issue 29962.
o Minor features (dormant mode):
- Add a DormantCanceledByStartup option to tell Tor that it should
treat a startup event as cancelling any previous dormant state.
Integrators should use this option with caution: it should only be
used if Tor is being started because of something that the user
did, and not if Tor is being automatically started in the
background. Closes ticket 29357.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 2 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29992.
o Minor features (NSS, diagnostic):
- Try to log an error from NSS (if there is any) and a more useful
description of our situation if we are using NSS and a call to
SSL_ExportKeyingMaterial() fails. Diagnostic for ticket 29241.
o Minor bugfixes (security):
- Fix a potential double free bug when reading huge bandwidth files.
The issue is not exploitable in the current Tor network because
the vulnerable code is only reached when directory authorities
read bandwidth files, but bandwidth files come from a trusted
source (usually the authorities themselves). Furthermore, the
issue is only exploitable in rare (non-POSIX) 32-bit architectures,
which are not used by any of the current authorities. Fixes bug
30040; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Bug found and fixed by
Tobias Stoeckmann.
- Verify in more places that we are not about to create a buffer
with more than INT_MAX bytes, to avoid possible OOB access in the
event of bugs. Fixes bug 30041; bugfix on 0.2.0.16. Found and
fixed by Tobias Stoeckmann.
o Minor bugfix (continuous integration):
- Reset coverage state on disk after Travis CI has finished. This
should prevent future coverage merge errors from causing the test
suite for the "process" subsystem to fail. The process subsystem
was introduced in 0.4.0.1-alpha. Fixes bug 29036; bugfix
on 0.2.9.15.
- Terminate test-stem if it takes more than 9.5 minutes to run.
(Travis terminates the job after 10 minutes of no output.)
Diagnostic for 29437. Fixes bug 30011; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (bootstrap reporting):
- During bootstrap reporting, correctly distinguish pluggable
transports from plain proxies. Fixes bug 28925; bugfix
on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness):
- Fix an unlikely memory leak in consensus_diff_apply(). Fixes bug
29824; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. This is Coverity warning
CID 1444119.
o Minor bugfixes (circuitpadding testing):
- Minor tweaks to avoid rare test failures related to timers and
monotonic time. Fixes bug 29500; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities):
- Actually include the bandwidth-file-digest line in directory
authority votes. Fixes bug 29959; bugfix on 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- On Windows, when errors cause us to reload a consensus from disk,
tell the user that we are retrying at log level "notice".
Previously we only logged this information at "info", which was
confusing because the errors themselves were logged at "warning".
Improves previous fix for 28614. Fixes bug 30004; bugfix
on 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
- Restore old behavior when it comes to discovering the path of a
given Pluggable Transport executable file. A change in
0.4.0.1-alpha had broken this behavior on paths containing a
space. Fixes bug 29874; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Backport the 0.3.4 src/test/test-network.sh to 0.2.9. We need a
recent test-network.sh to use new chutney features in CI. Fixes
bug 29703; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- Fix a test failure on Windows caused by an unexpected "BUG"
warning in our tests for tor_gmtime_r(-1). Fixes bug 29922; bugfix
on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (TLS protocol):
- When classifying a client's selection of TLS ciphers, if the
client ciphers are not yet available, do not cache the result.
Previously, we had cached the unavailability of the cipher list
and never looked again, which in turn led us to assume that the
client only supported the ancient V1 link protocol. This, in turn,
was causing Stem integration tests to stall in some cases. Fixes
bug 30021; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Introduce a connection_dir_buf_add() helper function that detects
whether compression is in use, and adds a string accordingly.
Resolves issue 28816.
- Refactor handle_get_next_bandwidth() to use
connection_dir_buf_add(). Implements ticket 29897.
o Documentation:
- Clarify that Tor performs stream isolation among *Port listeners
by default. Resolves issue 29121.
forward-port changelog for 0.4.0.3-alpha
2019-03-23 13:46:29 +01:00
Changes in version 0.4.0.3-alpha - 2019-03-22
Tor 0.4.0.3-alpha is the third in its series; it fixes several small
bugs from earlier versions.
o Minor features (address selection):
- Treat the subnet 100.64.0.0/10 as public for some purposes;
private for others. This subnet is the RFC 6598 (Carrier Grade
NAT) IP range, and is deployed by many ISPs as an alternative to
RFC 1918 that does not break existing internal networks. Tor now
blocks SOCKS and control ports on these addresses and warns users
if client ports or ExtORPorts are listening on a RFC 6598 address.
Closes ticket 28525. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the March 4 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29666.
o Minor bugfixes (circuitpadding):
- Inspect the circuit-level cell queue before sending padding, to
avoid sending padding when too much data is queued. Fixes bug
29204; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Correct a misleading error message when IPv4Only or IPv6Only is
used but the resolved address can not be interpreted as an address
of the specified IP version. Fixes bug 13221; bugfix on
0.2.3.9-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
- Log the correct port number for listening sockets when "auto" is
used to let Tor pick the port number. Previously, port 0 was
logged instead of the actual port number. Fixes bug 29144; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
- Stop logging a BUG() warning when Tor is waiting for exit
descriptors. Fixes bug 28656; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory management):
- Refactor the shared random state's memory management so that it
actually takes ownership of the shared random value pointers.
Fixes bug 29706; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory management, testing):
- Stop leaking parts of the shared random state in the shared-random
unit tests. Fixes bug 29599; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
- Fix an assertion failure crash bug when a pluggable transport is
terminated during the bootstrap phase. Fixes bug 29562; bugfix
on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Rust, protover):
- Add a missing "Padding" value to the Rust implementation of
protover. Fixes bug 29631; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (single onion services):
- Allow connections to single onion services to remain idle without
being disconnected. Previously, relays acting as rendezvous points
for single onion services were mistakenly closing idle rendezvous
circuits after 60 seconds, thinking that they were unused
directory-fetching circuits that had served their purpose. Fixes
bug 29665; bugfix on 0.2.1.26.
o Minor bugfixes (stats):
- When ExtraInfoStatistics is 0, stop including PaddingStatistics in
relay and bridge extra-info documents. Fixes bug 29017; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Downgrade some LOG_ERR messages in the address/* tests to
warnings. The LOG_ERR messages were occurring when we had no
configured network. We were failing the unit tests, because we
backported 28668 to 0.3.5.8, but did not backport 29530. Fixes bug
29530; bugfix on 0.3.5.8.
- Fix our gcov wrapper script to look for object files at the
correct locations. Fixes bug 29435; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
- Decrease the false positive rate of stochastic probability
distribution tests. Fixes bug 29693; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows, CI):
- Skip the Appveyor 32-bit Windows Server 2016 job, and 64-bit
Windows Server 2012 R2 job. The remaining 2 jobs still provide
coverage of 64/32-bit, and Windows Server 2016/2012 R2. Also set
fast_finish, so failed jobs terminate the build immediately. Fixes
bug 29601; bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.

Changes in version 0.3.5.8 - 2019-02-21
Tor 0.3.5.8 backports serveral fixes from later releases, including fixes
for an annoying SOCKS-parsing bug that affected users in earlier 0.3.5.x
releases.
It also includes a fix for a medium-severity security bug affecting Tor
0.3.2.1-alpha and later. All Tor instances running an affected release
should upgrade to 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security):
- Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can
put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf
were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It
is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor
client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as
TROVE-2019-001 and CVE-2019-8955.
o Major bugfixes (networking, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Gracefully handle empty username/password fields in SOCKS5
username/password auth messsage and allow SOCKS5 handshake to
continue. Previously, we had rejected these handshakes, breaking
certain applications. Fixes bug 29175; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Compile correctly when OpenSSL is built with engine support
disabled, or with deprecated APIs disabled. Closes ticket 29026.
Patches from "Mangix".
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 5 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29478.
o Minor features (testing, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Treat all unexpected ERR and BUG messages as test failures. Closes
ticket 28668.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Stop logging a "BUG()" warning and stacktrace when we find a SOCKS
connection waiting for a descriptor that we actually have in the
cache. It turns out that this can actually happen, though it is
rare. Now, tor will recover and retry the descriptor. Fixes bug
28669; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Fix tor_ersatz_socketpair on IPv6-only systems. Previously, the
IPv6 socket was bound using an address family of AF_INET instead
of AF_INET6. Fixes bug 28995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from
Kris Katterjohn.
o Minor bugfixes (build, compatibility, rust, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Update Cargo.lock file to match the version made by the latest
version of Rust, so that "make distcheck" will pass again. Fixes
bug 29244; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (client, clock skew, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Select guards even if the consensus has expired, as long as the
consensus is still reasonably live. Fixes bug 24661; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Compile correctly on OpenBSD; previously, we were missing some
headers required in order to detect it properly. Fixes bug 28938;
bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Describe the contents of the v3 onion service client authorization
files correctly: They hold public keys, not private keys. Fixes
bug 28979; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Spotted by "Felixix".
o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Rework rep_hist_log_link_protocol_counts() to iterate through all
link protocol versions when logging incoming/outgoing connection
counts. Tor no longer skips version 5, and we won't have to
remember to update this function when new link protocol version is
developed. Fixes bug 28920; bugfix on 0.2.6.10.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Log more information at "warning" level when unable to read a
private key; log more information at "info" level when unable to
read a public key. We had warnings here before, but they were lost
during our NSS work. Fixes bug 29042; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (misc, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- The amount of total available physical memory is now determined
using the sysctl identifier HW_PHYSMEM (rather than HW_USERMEM)
when it is defined and a 64-bit variant is not available. Fixes
bug 28981; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Avoid crashing if ClientOnionAuthDir (incorrectly) contains more
than one private key for a hidden service. Fixes bug 29040; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
- In hs_cache_store_as_client() log an HSDesc we failed to parse at
"debug" level. Tor used to log it as a warning, which caused very
long log lines to appear for some users. Fixes bug 29135; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Stop logging "Tried to establish rendezvous on non-OR circuit..."
as a warning. Instead, log it as a protocol warning, because there
is nothing that relay operators can do to fix it. Fixes bug 29029;
bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (tests, directory clients, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Mark outdated dirservers when Tor only has a reasonably live
consensus. Fixes bug 28569; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tests, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):
- Detect and suppress "bug" warnings from the util/time test on
Windows. Fixes bug 29161; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
- Do not log an error-level message if we fail to find an IPv6
network interface from the unit tests. Fixes bug 29160; bugfix
on 0.2.7.3-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (usability, backport from 0.4.0.1-alpha):
- Stop saying "Your Guard ..." in pathbias_measure_{use,close}_rate().
Some users took this phrasing to mean that the mentioned guard was
under their control or responsibility, which it is not. Fixes bug
28895; bugfix on Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.4.11 - 2019-02-21
Tor 0.3.4.11 is the third stable release in its series. It includes
a fix for a medium-severity security bug affecting Tor 0.3.2.1-alpha and
later. All Tor instances running an affected release should upgrade to
0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security):
- Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can
put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf
were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It
is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor
client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as
TROVE-2019-001 and CVE-2019-8955.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 5 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29478.
o Minor bugfixes (build, compatibility, rust, backport from 0.4.0.2-alpha):

as a warning. Instead, log it as a protocol warning, because there
is nothing that relay operators can do to fix it. Fixes bug 29029;
bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc.
Changes in version 0.3.3.12 - 2019-02-21
Tor 0.3.3.12 fixes a medium-severity security bug affecting Tor
0.3.2.1-alpha and later. All Tor instances running an affected release
should upgrade to 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha.
This release marks the end of support for the Tor 0.3.3.x series. We
recommend that users switch to either the Tor 0.3.4 series (supported
until at least 10 June 2019), or the Tor 0.3.5 series, which will
receive long-term support until at least 1 Feb 2022.
o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security):
- Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can
put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf
were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It
is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor
client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as
TROVE-2019-001 and CVE-2019-8955.

bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc.
Changes in version 0.4.0.2-alpha - 2019-02-21
Tor 0.4.0.2-alpha is the second alpha in its series; it fixes several
bugs from earlier versions, including several that had broken
backward compatibility.
It also includes a fix for a medium-severity security bug affecting Tor
0.3.2.1-alpha and later. All Tor instances running an affected release
should upgrade to 0.3.3.12, 0.3.4.11, 0.3.5.8, or 0.4.0.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (cell scheduler, KIST, security):
- Make KIST consider the outbuf length when computing what it can
put in the outbuf. Previously, KIST acted as though the outbuf
were empty, which could lead to the outbuf becoming too full. It
is possible that an attacker could exploit this bug to cause a Tor
client or relay to run out of memory and crash. Fixes bug 29168;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha. This issue is also being tracked as

username/password auth messsage and allow SOCKS5 handshake to
continue. Previously, we had rejected these handshakes, breaking
certain applications. Fixes bug 29175; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (windows, startup):
- When reading a consensus file from disk, detect whether it was
written in text mode, and re-read it in text mode if so. Always
write consensus files in binary mode so that we can map them into
memory later. Previously, we had written in text mode, which
confused us when we tried to map the file on windows. Fixes bug
28614; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (compilation):
- Compile correctly when OpenSSL is built with engine support
disabled, or with deprecated APIs disabled. Closes ticket 29026.
Patches from "Mangix".
o Minor features (developer tooling):
- Check that bugfix versions in changes files look like Tor versions
from the versions spec. Warn when bugfixes claim to be on a future
release. Closes ticket 27761.
- Provide a git pre-commit hook that disallows commiting if we have
any failures in our code and changelog formatting checks. It is
now available in scripts/maint/pre-commit.git-hook. Implements
feature 28976.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- When a directory authority is using a bandwidth file to obtain
bandwidth values, include the digest of that file in the vote.
Closes ticket 26698.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 5 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29478.
o Minor features (testing):
- Treat all unexpected ERR and BUG messages as test failures. Closes
ticket 28668.
o Minor bugfixes (build, compatibility, rust):

version of Rust, so that "make distcheck" will pass again. Fixes
bug 29244; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix compilation warnings in test_circuitpadding.c. Fixes bug
29169; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Silence a compiler warning in test-memwipe.c on OpenBSD. Fixes bug
29145; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Describe the contents of the v3 onion service client authorization
files correctly: They hold public keys, not private keys. Fixes
bug 28979; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Spotted by "Felixix".
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp sandbox):
- Fix startup crash when experimental sandbox support is enabled.
Fixes bug 29150; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha. Patch by Peter Gerber.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Avoid logging that we are relaxing a circuit timeout when that
timeout is fixed. Fixes bug 28698; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Log more information at "warning" level when unable to read a
private key; log more information at "info" level when unable to
read a public key. We had warnings here before, but they were lost
during our NSS work. Fixes bug 29042; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

as a warning. Instead, log it as a protocol warning, because there
is nothing that relay operators can do to fix it. Fixes bug 29029;
bugfix on 0.2.5.7-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (scheduler):
- When re-adding channels to the pending list, check the correct
channel's sched_heap_idx. This issue has had no effect in mainline
Tor, but could have led to bugs down the road in improved versions
of our circuit scheduling code. Fixes bug 29508; bugfix
on 0.3.2.10.
o Minor bugfixes (tests):
- Fix intermittent failures on an adaptive padding test. Fixes one
case of bug 29122; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Disable an unstable circuit-padding test that was failing
intermittently because of an ill-defined small histogram. Such
histograms will be allowed again after 29298 is implemented. Fixes
a second case of bug 29122; bugfix on 0.4.0.1-alpha.
- Detect and suppress "bug" warnings from the util/time test on
Windows. Fixes bug 29161; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
- Do not log an error-level message if we fail to find an IPv6
network interface from the unit tests. Fixes bug 29160; bugfix
on 0.2.7.3-rc.
o Documentation:
- In the manpage entry describing MapAddress torrc setting, use
example IP addresses from ranges specified for use in documentation
by RFC 5737. Resolves issue 28623.
o Removed features:
- Remove the old check-tor script. Resolves issue 29072.

o Minor features (required protocols):
Give the changelog an edit
2019-01-16 17:09:54 +01:00
- Before exiting because of a missing required protocol, Tor will
now check the publication time of the consensus, and not exit
unless the consensus is newer than the Tor program's own release
date. Previously, Tor would not check the consensus publication
time, and so might exit because of a missing protocol that might
no longer be required in a current consensus. Implements proposal
297; closes ticket 27735.

2019-01-16 17:47:18 +01:00
- In count_acceptable_nodes(), the minimum number is now one bridge
or guard node, and two non-guard nodes for a circuit. Previously,
we had added up the sum of all nodes with a descriptor, but that
could cause us to build failing circuits when we had either too
many bridges or not enough guard nodes. Fixes bug 25885; bugfix on

Changes in version 0.3.3.11 - 2019-01-07
Forward-port changelog and releasenotes entries from last Monday
2019-01-15 19:15:22 +01:00
Tor 0.3.3.11 backports numerous fixes from later versions of Tor.
numerous fixes, including an important fix for anyone using OpenSSL
1.1.1. Anyone running an earlier version of Tor 0.3.3 should upgrade
to this version, or to a later series.
As a reminder, support the Tor 0.3.3 series will end on 22 Feb 2019.
We anticipate that this will be the last release of Tor 0.3.3, unless
some major bug is before then. Some time between now and then, users
should switch to either the Tor 0.3.4 series (supported until at least
10 June 2019), or the Tor 0.3.5 series, which will receive long-term
support until at least 1 Feb 2022.
o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in
OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when
running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS
1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3
support was added).
o Major bugfixes (restart-in-process, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Fix a use-after-free error that could be caused by passing Tor an
impossible set of options that would fail during options_act().
Fixes bug 27708; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Only run one online rust build in Travis, to reduce network
errors. Skip offline rust builds on Travis for Linux gcc, because
they're redundant. Implements ticket 27252.
- Skip gcc on OSX in Travis CI, because it's rarely used. Skip a
duplicate hardening-off build in Travis on Tor 0.2.9. Skip gcc on
Linux with default settings, because all the non-default builds
use gcc on Linux. Implements ticket 27252.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Use the Travis Homebrew addon to install packages on macOS during
Travis CI. The package list is the same, but the Homebrew addon
does not do a `brew update` by default. Implements ticket 27738.
o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 3 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29012.
o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround, backport from 0.3.5.7):
- Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3
key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is
detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a
version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available.
Closes ticket 28973.
o Minor bugfixes (relay statistics, backport from 0.3.5.7):
- Update relay descriptor on bandwidth changes only when the uptime
is smaller than 24h, in order to reduce the efficiency of guard
discovery attacks. Fixes bug 24104; bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Avoid undefined behavior in an end-of-string check when parsing
the BEGIN line in a directory object. Fixes bug 28202; bugfix
on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code safety, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Rewrite our assertion macros so that they no longer suppress the
compiler's -Wparentheses warnings. Fixes bug 27709; bugfix
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since
some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before
use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Log additional info when we get a relay that shares an ed25519 ID
with a different relay, instead making a BUG() warning. Fixes bug
27800; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory permissions, backport form 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- When a user requests a group-readable DataDirectory, give it to
them. Previously, when the DataDirectory and the CacheDirectory
were the same, the default setting (0) for
CacheDirectoryGroupReadable would override the setting for
DataDirectoryGroupReadable. Fixes bug 26913; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- When the onion service directory can't be created or has the wrong
permissions, do not log a stack trace. Fixes bug 27335; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.2-alpha):
- Close all SOCKS request (for the same .onion) if the newly fetched
descriptor is unusable. Before that, we would close only the first
one leaving the other hanging and let to time out by themselves.
Fixes bug 27410; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Don't warn so loudly when Tor is unable to decode an onion
descriptor. This can now happen as a normal use case if a client
gets a descriptor with client authorization but the client is not
authorized. Fixes bug 27550; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (HTTP tunnel):
- Fix a bug warning when closing an HTTP tunnel connection due to
an HTTP request we couldn't handle. Fixes bug 26470; bugfix on
0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419;
bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger.
o Minor bugfixes (netflow padding, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Ensure circuitmux queues are empty before scheduling or sending
padding. Fixes bug 25505; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (protover, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Reject protocol names containing bytes other than alphanumeric
characters and hyphens ([A-Za-z0-9-]). Fixes bug 27316; bugfix
on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Compute protover votes correctly in the rust version of the
protover code. Previously, the protover rewrite in 24031 allowed
repeated votes from the same voter for the same protocol version
to be counted multiple times in protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug
27649; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
- Reject protover names that contain invalid characters. Fixes bug
27687; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.3.5.2-alpha):
- protover_all_supported() would attempt to allocate up to 16GB on
some inputs, leading to a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 27206;
bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Fix a potential null dereference in protover_all_supported(). Add
a test for it. Fixes bug 27804; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Return a string that can be safely freed by C code, not one
created by the rust allocator, in protover_all_supported(). Fixes
bug 27740; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Fix an API mismatch in the rust implementation of
protover_compute_vote(). This bug could have caused crashes on any
directory authorities running Tor with Rust (which we do not yet
recommend). Fixes bug 27741; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- If a unit test running in a subprocess exits abnormally or with a
nonzero status code, treat the test as having failed, even if the
test reported success. Without this fix, memory leaks don't cause
the tests to fail, even with LeakSanitizer. Fixes bug 27658;
bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Treat backtrace test failures as expected on BSD-derived systems
(NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS/Darwin) until we solve bug 17808.
(FreeBSD failures have been treated as expected since 18204 in
0.2.8.) Fixes bug 27948; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, guard selection, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Fix the year for 0.3.4.10 and 0.3.3.11

Changes in version 0.3.4.10 - 2019-01-07
Forward-port changelog and releasenotes entries from last Monday
2019-01-15 19:15:22 +01:00
Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports
numerous fixes, including an important fix for relays, and for anyone
using OpenSSL 1.1.1. Anyone running an earlier version of Tor 0.3.4
should upgrade.
As a reminder, the Tor 0.3.4 series will be supported until 10 June
2019. Some time between now and then, users should switch to the Tor
0.3.5 series, which will receive long-term support until at least 1
Feb 2022.
o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in
OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when
running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS
1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3
support was added).
o Major bugfixes (relay, directory, backport from 0.3.5.7):
- Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as
any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections
serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the
first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent
clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on
0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3".
o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build
artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI.
Implements 28459.
o Minor features (controller, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- For purposes of CIRC_BW-based dropped cell detection, track half-
closed stream ids, and allow their ENDs, SENDMEs, DATA and path
bias check cells to arrive without counting it as dropped until
either the END arrives, or the windows are empty. Closes
ticket 25573.
o Minor features (fallback directory list, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 28395.
o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround, backport from 0.3.5.7):
- Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3
key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is
detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a
version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available.
Closes ticket 28973.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Initialize a variable unconditionally in aes_new_cipher(), since
some compilers cannot tell that we always initialize it before
use. Fixes bug 28413; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (connection, relay, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Avoid a logging a BUG() stacktrace when closing connection held
open because the write side is rate limited but not the read side.
Now, the connection read side is simply shut down until Tor is
able to flush the connection and close it. Fixes bug 27750; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using
mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does
not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Stop using an external OpenSSL install, and stop installing MSYS2
packages, when building using mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. Fixes
bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not
download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is
already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master.
o Minor bugfixes (directory permissions, backport form 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- When a user requests a group-readable DataDirectory, give it to
them. Previously, when the DataDirectory and the CacheDirectory
were the same, the default setting (0) for
CacheDirectoryGroupReadable would override the setting for
DataDirectoryGroupReadable. Fixes bug 26913; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks, backport from 0.3.5.5-alpha):
- Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419;
bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Don't warn so loudly when Tor is unable to decode an onion
descriptor. This can now happen as a normal use case if a client
gets a descriptor with client authorization but the client is not
authorized. Fixes bug 27550; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay statistics, backport from 0.3.5.7):
- Update relay descriptor on bandwidth changes only when the uptime
is smaller than 24h, in order to reduce the efficiency of guard
discovery attacks. Fixes bug 24104; bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, guard selection, backport from 0.3.5.6-rc):
- Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.5.7 - 2019-01-07
Tor 0.3.5.7 is the first stable release in its series; it includes
compilation and portability fixes, and a fix for a severe problem
affecting directory caches.
The Tor 0.3.5 series includes several new features and performance
improvements, including client authorization for v3 onion services,
cleanups to bootstrap reporting, support for improved bandwidth-
measurement tools, experimental support for NSS in place of OpenSSL,
and much more. It also begins a full reorganization of Tor's code
layout, for improved modularity and maintainability in the future.
Finally, there is the usual set of performance improvements and
bugfixes that we try to do in every release series.
There are a couple of changes in the 0.3.5 that may affect
compatibility. First, the default version for newly created onion
services is now v3. Use the HiddenServiceVersion option if you want to
override this. Second, some log messages related to bootstrapping have
changed; if you use stem, you may need to update to the latest version
so it will recognize them.
We have designated 0.3.5 as a "long-term support" (LTS) series: we
will continue to patch major bugs in typical configurations of 0.3.5
until at least 1 Feb 2022. (We do not plan to provide long-term
support for embedding, Rust support, NSS support, running a directory
authority, or unsupported platforms. For these, you will need to stick
with the latest stable release.)
Below are the changes since 0.3.5.6-rc. For a complete list of changes
since 0.3.4.9, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Major bugfixes (relay, directory):
- Always reactivate linked connections in the main loop so long as
any linked connection has been active. Previously, connections
serving directory information wouldn't get reactivated after the
first chunk of data was sent (usually 32KB), which would prevent
clients from bootstrapping. Fixes bug 28912; bugfix on
0.3.4.1-alpha. Patch by "cypherpunks3".
o Minor features (compilation):
- When possible, place our warning flags in a separate file, to
avoid flooding verbose build logs. Closes ticket 28924.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 3 2019 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 29012.
o Minor features (OpenSSL bug workaround):
- Work around a bug in OpenSSL 1.1.1a, which prevented the TLS 1.3
key export function from handling long labels. When this bug is
detected, Tor will disable TLS 1.3. We recommend upgrading to a
version of OpenSSL without this bug when it becomes available.
Closes ticket 28973.
o Minor features (performance):
- Remove about 96% of the work from the function that we run at
startup to test our curve25519_basepoint implementation. Since
this function has yet to find an actual failure, we now only run
it for 8 iterations instead of 200. Based on our profile
information, this change should save around 8% of our startup time
on typical desktops, and may have a similar effect on other
platforms. Closes ticket 28838.
- Stop re-validating our hardcoded Diffie-Hellman parameters on
every startup. Doing this wasted time and cycles, especially on
low-powered devices. Closes ticket 28851.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix compilation for Android by adding a missing header to
freespace.c. Fixes bug 28974; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
- Fix an unreached code path where we checked the value of
"hostname" inside send_resolved_hostname_cell(). Previously, we
used it before checking it; now we check it first. Fixes bug
28879; bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Make sure that test_rebind.py actually obeys its timeout, even
when it receives a large number of log messages. Fixes bug 28883;
bugfix on 0.3.5.4-alpha.
- Stop running stem's unit tests as part of "make test-stem", but
continue to run stem's unit and online tests during "make test-
stem-full". Fixes bug 28568; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (windows services):
- Make Tor start correctly as an NT service again: previously it was
broken by refactoring. Fixes bug 28612; bugfix on 0.3.5.3-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- When parsing a port configuration, make it more obvious to static
analyzer tools that we always initialize the address. Closes
ticket 28881.
Forward-port changelog from 0.3.5.6-rc
2018-12-18 19:33:26 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.5.6-rc - 2018-12-18
Tor 0.3.5.6-rc fixes numerous small bugs in earlier versions of Tor.
It is the first release candidate in the 0.3.5.x series; if no further
huge bugs are found, our next release may be the stable 0.3.5.x.
o Minor features (continuous integration, Windows):
- Always show the configure and test logs, and upload them as build
artifacts, when building for Windows using Appveyor CI.
Implements 28459.
o Minor features (fallback directory list):
- Replace the 150 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
0.3.3.1-alpha in January 2018 (of which ~115 were still
functional), with a list of 157 fallbacks (92 new, 65 existing, 85
removed) generated in December 2018. Closes ticket 24803.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 5 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 28744.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Add missing dependency on libgdi32.dll for tor-print-ed-signing-
cert.exe on Windows. Fixes bug 28485; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows):
- Explicitly specify the path to the OpenSSL library and do not
download OpenSSL from Pacman, but instead use the library that is
already provided by AppVeyor. Fixes bug 28574; bugfix on master.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
- When deleting an ephemeral onion service (DEL_ONION), do not close
any rendezvous circuits in order to let the existing client
connections finish by themselves or closed by the application. The
HS v2 is doing that already so now we have the same behavior for
all versions. Fixes bug 28619; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (restart-in-process, boostrap):
- Add missing resets of bootstrap tracking state when shutting down
(regression caused by ticket 27169). Fixes bug 28524; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Use a separate DataDirectory for the test_rebind script.
Previously, this script would run using the default DataDirectory,
and sometimes fail. Fixes bug 28562; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
Patch from Taylor R Campbell.
- Stop leaking memory in an entry guard unit test. Fixes bug 28554;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows):
- Correctly identify Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server
2008 and later from their NT versions. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on
0.2.2.34; reported by Keifer Bly.
- On recent Windows versions, the GetVersionEx() function may report
an earlier Windows version than the running OS. To avoid user
confusion, add "[or later]" to Tor's version string on affected
versions of Windows. Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34; reported
by Keifer Bly.
- Remove Windows versions that were never supported by the
GetVersionEx() function. Stop duplicating the latest Windows
version in get_uname(). Fixes bug 28096; bugfix on 0.2.2.34;
reported by Keifer Bly.
o Testing:
- Increase logging and tag all log entries with timestamps in
test_rebind.py. Provides diagnostics for issue 28229.
o Code simplification and refactoring (shared random, dirauth):
- Change many tor_assert() to use BUG() instead. The idea is to not
crash a dirauth but rather scream loudly with a stacktrace and let
it continue run. The shared random subsystem is very resilient and
if anything wrong happens with it, at worst a non coherent value
will be put in the vote and discarded by the other authorities.
Closes ticket 19566.
o Documentation (onion services):
- Document in the man page that changing ClientOnionAuthDir value or
adding a new file in the directory will not work at runtime upon
sending a HUP if Sandbox 1. Closes ticket 28128.
- Note in the man page that the only real way to fully revoke an
onion service v3 client authorization is by restarting the tor
process. Closes ticket 28275.

Changes in version 0.3.5.5-alpha - 2018-11-16
Tor 0.3.5.5-alpha includes numerous bugfixes on earlier releases,
including several that we hope to backport to older release series in
the future.
o Major bugfixes (OpenSSL, portability):
- Fix our usage of named groups when running as a TLS 1.3 client in
OpenSSL 1.1.1. Previously, we only initialized EC groups when
running as a relay, which caused clients to fail to negotiate TLS
1.3 with relays. Fixes bug 28245; bugfix on 0.2.9.15 (when TLS 1.3

o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, Windows):
- Manually configure the zstd compiler options, when building using
mingw on Appveyor Windows CI. The MSYS2 mingw zstd package does
not come with a pkg-config file. Fixes bug 28454; bugfix

bug 28399; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Make Doxygen work again after the code movement in the 0.3.5
source tree. Fixes bug 28435; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Permit the "shutdown()" system call, which is apparently used by
OpenSSL under some circumstances. Fixes bug 28183; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Stop talking about the Named flag in log messages. Clients have
ignored the Named flag since 0.3.2. Fixes bug 28441; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
- Fix a harmless memory leak in libtorrunner.a. Fixes bug 28419;
bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch from Martin Kepplinger.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- On an intro point for a version 3 onion service, stop closing
introduction circuits on an NACK. This lets the client decide
whether to reuse the circuit or discard it. Previously, we closed
intro circuits when sending NACKs. Fixes bug 27841; bugfix on
0.3.2.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chaunan.
- When replacing a descriptor in the client cache, make sure to
close all client introduction circuits for the old descriptor, so
we don't end up with unusable leftover circuits. Fixes bug 27471;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

Changes in version 0.3.5.4-alpha - 2018-11-08
Tor 0.3.5.4-alpha includes numerous bugfixes on earlier versions and
improves our continuous integration support. It continues our attempts
to stabilize this alpha branch and build it into a foundation for an
acceptable long-term-support release.
o Major bugfixes (compilation, rust):
- Rust tests can now build and run successfully with the
--enable-fragile-hardening option enabled. Doing this currently
requires the rust beta channel; it will be possible with stable
rust once Rust version 1.31 is released. Patch from Alex Crichton.
Fixes bugs 27272, 27273, and 27274. Bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (embedding, main loop):
- When DisableNetwork becomes set, actually disable periodic events
that are already enabled. (Previously, we would refrain from
enabling new ones, but we would leave the old ones turned on.)
Fixes bug 28348; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- Add a Travis CI build for --enable-nss on Linux gcc. Closes
ticket 27751.
- Add new CI job to Travis configuration to run stem-based
integration tests. Closes ticket 27913.
o Minor features (Windows, continuous integration):
- Build tor on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016 using
Appveyor's CI. Closes ticket 28318.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, also in 0.3.4.9):
- Avoid undefined behavior in an end-of-string check when parsing
the BEGIN line in a directory object. Fixes bug 28202; bugfix
on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a pair of missing headers on OpenBSD. Fixes bug 28303; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, OpenSolaris):
- Fix compilation on OpenSolaris and its descendants by adding a
missing include to compat_pthreads.c. Fixes bug 27963; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration):
- Refuse to start with relative file paths and RunAsDaemon set
(regression from the fix for bug 22731). Fixes bug 28298; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, also in 0.3.4.9):
- Log additional info when we get a relay that shares an ed25519 ID
with a different relay, instead of a BUG() warning with a
backtrace. Fixes bug 27800; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
- Build the service descriptor's signing key certificate before
uploading, so we always have a fresh one: leaving no chances for
it to expire service side. Fixes bug 27838; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client authorization):
- Fix an assert() when adding a client authorization for the first
time and then sending a HUP signal to the service. Before that,
Tor would stop abruptly. Fixes bug 27995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Unless we have explicitly set HiddenServiceVersion, detect the
onion service version and then look for invalid options.
Previously, we did the reverse, but that broke existing configs
which were pointed to a v2 service and had options like
HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient set. Fixes bug 28127; bugfix on
0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Make the OPE code (which is used for v3 onion services) run
correctly on big-endian platforms. Fixes bug 28115; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (protover, rust):
- Reject extra commas in version strings. Fixes bug 27197; bugfix
on 0.3.3.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay shutdown, systemd):
- Notify systemd of ShutdownWaitLength so it can be set to longer
than systemd's TimeoutStopSec. In Tor's systemd service file, set
TimeoutSec to 60 seconds to allow Tor some time to shut down.
Fixes bug 28113; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, also in 0.3.4.9):
- Fix a potential null dereference in protover_all_supported(). Add
a test for it. Fixes bug 27804; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Return a string that can be safely freed by C code, not one
created by the rust allocator, in protover_all_supported(). Fixes
bug 27740; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, directory authority, also in 0.3.4.9):
- Fix an API mismatch in the rust implementation of
protover_compute_vote(). This bug could have caused crashes on any
directory authorities running Tor with Rust (which we do not yet
recommend). Fixes bug 27741; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Avoid hangs and race conditions in test_rebind.py. Fixes bug
27968; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, also in 0.3.4.9):
- Treat backtrace test failures as expected on BSD-derived systems
(NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS/Darwin) until we solve bug 17808.
(FreeBSD failures have been treated as expected since 18204 in
0.2.8.) Fixes bug 27948; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
o Documentation (onion service manpage):
- Improve HSv3 client authorization by making some options more
explicit and detailed. Closes ticket 28026. Patch by Mike Tigas.
forward-port 0.3.4.9 changelog and releasenotes
2018-11-02 16:28:49 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.4.9 - 2018-11-02
Tor 0.3.4.9 is the second stable release in its series; it backports
numerous fixes, including a fix for a bandwidth management bug that
was causing memory exhaustion on relays. Anyone running an earlier
version of Tor 0.3.4.9 should upgrade.
o Major bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Fix compilation on ARM (and other less-used CPUs) when compiling
with OpenSSL before 1.1. Fixes bug 27781; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (mainloop, bootstrap, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Make sure Tor bootstraps and works properly if only the
ControlPort is set. Prior to this fix, Tor would only bootstrap
when a client port was set (Socks, Trans, NATD, DNS or HTTPTunnel
port). Fixes bug 27849; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- When our write bandwidth limit is exhausted, stop writing on the
connection. Previously, we had a typo in the code that would make
us stop reading instead, leading to relay connections being stuck
indefinitely and consuming kernel RAM. Fixes bug 28089; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (restart-in-process, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Fix a use-after-free error that could be caused by passing Tor an
impossible set of options that would fail during options_act().
Fixes bug 27708; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Don't do a distcheck with --disable-module-dirauth in Travis.
Implements ticket 27252.
- Only run one online rust build in Travis, to reduce network
errors. Skip offline rust builds on Travis for Linux gcc, because
they're redundant. Implements ticket 27252.
- Skip gcc on OSX in Travis CI, because it's rarely used. Skip a
duplicate hardening-off build in Travis on Tor 0.2.9. Skip gcc on
Linux with default settings, because all the non-default builds
use gcc on Linux. Implements ticket 27252.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Use the Travis Homebrew addon to install packages on macOS during
Travis CI. The package list is the same, but the Homebrew addon
does not do a `brew update` by default. Implements ticket 27738.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 9 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 27991.
o Minor bugfixes (32-bit OSX and iOS, timing, backport from 0.3.5.2-alpha):
- Fix an integer overflow bug in our optimized 32-bit millisecond-
difference algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Previously, it
would overflow when calculating the difference between two times
more than 47 days apart. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Improve the precision of our 32-bit millisecond difference
algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139;
bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Relax the tolerance on the mainloop/update_time_jumps test when
running on 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Avoid undefined behavior in an end-of-string check when parsing
the BEGIN line in a directory object. Fixes bug 28202; bugfix
on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (CI, appveyor, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Only install the necessary mingw packages during our appveyor
builds. This change makes the build a little faster, and prevents
a conflict with a preinstalled mingw openssl that appveyor now
ships. Fixes bugs 27943 and 27765; bugfix on 0.3.4.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code safety, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Rewrite our assertion macros so that they no longer suppress the
compiler's -Wparentheses warnings. Fixes bug 27709; bugfix
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Stop reinstalling identical packages in our Windows CI. Fixes bug
27464; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Log additional info when we get a relay that shares an ed25519 ID
with a different relay, instead making a BUG() warning. Fixes bug
27800; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory connection shutdown, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Avoid a double-close when shutting down a stalled directory
connection. Fixes bug 26896; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (HTTP tunnel, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Fix a bug warning when closing an HTTP tunnel connection due to an
HTTP request we couldn't handle. Fixes bug 26470; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (netflow padding, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Ensure circuitmux queues are empty before scheduling or sending
padding. Fixes bug 25505; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- When the onion service directory can't be created or has the wrong
permissions, do not log a stack trace. Fixes bug 27335; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.2-alpha):
- Close all SOCKS request (for the same .onion) if the newly fetched
descriptor is unusable. Before that, we would close only the first
one leaving the other hanging and let to time out by themselves.
Fixes bug 27410; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- When selecting a v3 rendezvous point, don't only look at the
protover, but also check whether the curve25519 onion key is
present. This way we avoid picking a relay that supports the v3
rendezvous but for which we don't have the microdescriptor. Fixes
bug 27797; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (protover, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Reject protocol names containing bytes other than alphanumeric
characters and hyphens ([A-Za-z0-9-]). Fixes bug 27316; bugfix
on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- Compute protover votes correctly in the rust version of the
protover code. Previously, the protover rewrite in 24031 allowed
repeated votes from the same voter for the same protocol version
to be counted multiple times in protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug
27649; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
- Reject protover names that contain invalid characters. Fixes bug
27687; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, backport from 0.3.5.2-alpha):
- protover_all_supported() would attempt to allocate up to 16GB on
some inputs, leading to a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 27206;
bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, directory authority, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Fix an API mismatch in the rust implementation of
protover_compute_vote(). This bug could have caused crashes on any
directory authorities running Tor with Rust (which we do not yet
recommend). Fixes bug 27741; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
o Minor bugfixes (rust, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Fix a potential null dereference in protover_all_supported(). Add
a test for it. Fixes bug 27804; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Return a string that can be safely freed by C code, not one
created by the rust allocator, in protover_all_supported(). Fixes
bug 27740; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.5.1-alpha):
- If a unit test running in a subprocess exits abnormally or with a
nonzero status code, treat the test as having failed, even if the
test reported success. Without this fix, memory leaks don't cause
the tests to fail, even with LeakSanitizer. Fixes bug 27658;
bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.5.3-alpha):
- Make the hs_service tests use the same time source when creating
the introduction point and when testing it. Now tests work better
on very slow systems like ARM or Travis. Fixes bug 27810; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, to appear in 0.3.5.4-alpha):
- Treat backtrace test failures as expected on BSD-derived systems
(NetBSD, OpenBSD, and macOS/Darwin) until we solve bug 17808.
(FreeBSD failures have been treated as expected since 18204 in
0.2.8.) Fixes bug 27948; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.

versions. One important fix for relays addresses a problem with rate-
limiting code from back in 0.3.4.x: If the fix works out, we'll be
backporting it soon. This release is still an alpha, but we hope it's
getting closer and closer to stability.

o Major features (onion services):
- Version 3 onion services can now use the per-service
HiddenServiceExportCircuitID option to differentiate client
circuits. It communicates with the service by using the HAProxy
protocol to assign virtual IP addresses to inbound client
circuits. Closes ticket 4700. Patch by Mahrud Sayrafi.

Changes in version 0.3.5.2-alpha - 2018-09-21
Start on an 0.3.5.2-alpha changelog
2018-09-20 22:35:36 +02:00
Tor 0.3.5.2-alpha fixes several bugs in 0.3.5.1-alpha, including one
that made Tor think it had run out of sockets. Anybody running a relay
or an onion service on 0.3.5.1-alpha should upgrade.
o Major bugfixes (relay bandwidth statistics):
- When we close relayed circuits, report the data in the circuit
queues as being written in our relay bandwidth stats. This
mitigates guard discovery and other attacks that close circuits
for the explicit purpose of noticing this discrepancy in
statistics. Fixes bug 23512; bugfix on 0.0.8pre3.
o Major bugfixes (socket accounting):
- In our socket accounting code, count a socket as closed even when
it is closed indirectly by the TLS layer. Previously, we would
count these sockets as still in use, and incorrectly believe that
we had run out of sockets. Fixes bug 27795; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (32-bit OSX and iOS, timing):
- Fix an integer overflow bug in our optimized 32-bit millisecond-
difference algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Previously, it
would overflow when calculating the difference between two times
more than 47 days apart. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Improve the precision of our 32-bit millisecond difference
algorithm for 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139;
bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Relax the tolerance on the mainloop/update_time_jumps test when
running on 32-bit Apple platforms. Fixes part of bug 27139; bugfix
on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
- Close all SOCKS request (for the same .onion) if the newly fetched
descriptor is unusable. Before that, we would close only the first
one leaving the other hanging and let to time out by themselves.
Fixes bug 27410; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
- Fix an unlikely memory leak when trying to read a private key from
a ridiculously large file. Fixes bug 27764; bugfix on
0.3.5.1-alpha. This is CID 1439488.
o Minor bugfixes (NSS):
- Correctly detect failure to open a dummy TCP socket when stealing
ownership of an fd from the NSS layer. Fixes bug 27782; bugfix
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (rust):
- protover_all_supported() would attempt to allocate up to 16GB on
some inputs, leading to a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug 27206;
bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Revise the "conditionvar_timeout" test so that it succeeds even on
heavily loaded systems where the test threads are not scheduled
within 200 msec. Fixes bug 27073; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Divide the routerlist.c and dirserv.c modules into smaller parts.
Closes ticket 27799.

Changes in version 0.3.5.1-alpha - 2018-09-18
Write a blurb, pull UI changes to the front, edit
2018-09-17 22:04:30 +02:00
Tor 0.3.5.1-alpha is the first release of the 0.3.5.x series. It adds
client authorization for modern (v3) onion services, improves
bootstrap reporting, begins reorganizing Tor's codebase, adds optional
support for NSS in place of OpenSSL, and much more.
o Major features (onion services, UI change):
- For a newly created onion service, the default version is now 3.
Tor still supports existing version 2 services, but the operator
now needs to set "HiddenServiceVersion 2" in order to create a new
version 2 service. For existing services, Tor now learns the
version by reading the key file. Closes ticket 27215.
o Major features (relay, UI change):
- Relays no longer run as exits by default. If the "ExitRelay"
option is auto (or unset), and no exit policy is specified with
ExitPolicy or ReducedExitPolicy, we now treat ExitRelay as 0.
Previously in this case, we allowed exit traffic and logged a
warning message. Closes ticket 21530. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
ChangeLog: the ContactInfo UTF-8 requirement is a major UI change (Even if it only affects a few relay operators.)
2018-09-18 03:29:43 +02:00
- Tor now validates that the ContactInfo config option is valid UTF-
8 when parsing torrc. Closes ticket 27428.

o Major features (new code layout):
- Nearly all of Tor's source code has been moved around into more
logical places. The "common" directory is now divided into a set
of libraries in "lib", and files in the "or" directory have been
split into "core" (logic absolutely needed for onion routing),
"feature" (independent modules in Tor), and "app" (to configure
and invoke the rest of Tor). See doc/HACKING/CodeStructure.md for
more information. Closes ticket 26481.
This refactoring is not complete: although the libraries have been
refactored to be acyclic, the main body of Tor is still too
interconnected. We will attempt to improve this in the future.

o Major features (onion services v3):

2018-09-17 22:04:30 +02:00
- Implement onion service client authorization at the descriptor
level: only authorized clients can decrypt a service's descriptor
to find out how to contact it. A new torrc option was added to
control this client side: ClientOnionAuthDir <path>. On the
service side, if the "authorized_clients/" directory exists in the

2018-09-17 15:10:18 +02:00
- Improve revision counter generation in next-gen onion services.
Onion services can now scale by hosting multiple instances on
different hosts without synchronization between them, which was
previously impossible because descriptors would get rejected by
HSDirs. Addresses ticket 25552.
o Major features (portability, cryptography, experimental, TLS):
- Tor now has the option to compile with the NSS library instead of
OpenSSL. This feature is experimental, and we expect that bugs may
remain. It is mainly intended for environments where Tor's
performance is not CPU-bound, and where NSS is already known to be
installed. To try it out, configure Tor with the --enable-nss
Write a blurb, pull UI changes to the front, edit
2018-09-17 22:04:30 +02:00
flag. Closes tickets 26631, 26815, and 26816.
If you are experimenting with this option and using an old cached
consensus, Tor may fail to start. To solve this, delete your

2018-09-17 15:10:18 +02:00
o Minor features (code correctness, testing):
- Tor's build process now includes a "check-includes" make target to
verify that no module of Tor relies on any headers from a higher-
level module. We hope to use this feature over time to help
refactor our codebase. Closes ticket 26447.
o Minor features (code layout):
Write a blurb, pull UI changes to the front, edit
2018-09-17 22:04:30 +02:00

o Minor features (compilation):
- Tor's configure script now supports a --with-malloc= option to
select your malloc implementation. Supported options are
"tcmalloc", "jemalloc", "openbsd" (deprecated), and "system" (the
default). Addresses part of ticket 20424. Based on a patch from
Alex Xu.

- Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional
dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560.
- Only run one online rust build in Travis, to reduce network

- Skip gcc on OSX in Travis CI, because it's rarely used. Skip a
duplicate hardening-off build in Travis on Tor 0.2.9. Skip gcc on
Linux with default settings, because all the non-default builds
use gcc on Linux. Implements ticket 27252.

o Minor features (controller):
- Emit CIRC_BW events as soon as we detect that we processed an
invalid or otherwise dropped cell on a circuit. This allows
vanguards and other controllers to react more quickly to dropped
cells. Closes ticket 27678.
- For purposes of CIRC_BW-based dropped cell detection, track half-
closed stream ids, and allow their ENDs, SENDMEs, DATA and path

o Minor features (development):
- Tor's makefile now supports running the "clippy" Rust style tool
on our Rust code. Closes ticket 22156.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- There is no longer an artificial upper limit on the length of
bandwidth lines. Closes ticket 26223.
- When a bandwidth file is used to obtain the bandwidth measurements,
include this bandwidth file headers in the votes. Closes
ticket 3723.
- Improved support for networks with only a single authority or a
single fallback directory. Patch from Gabriel Somlo. Closes
ticket 25928.
o Minor features (embedding API):
- The Tor controller API now supports a function to launch Tor with
a preconstructed owning controller FD, so that embedding
applications don't need to manage controller ports and
authentication. Closes ticket 24204.

bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration, Onion Services):
- In rend_service_parse_port_config(), disallow any input to remain
after address-port pair was parsed. This will catch address and
port being whitespace-separated by mistake of the user. Fixes bug

- Include paths to header files within Tor are now qualified by
directory within the top-level src directory.
- Many structures have been removed from the centralized "or.h"
header, and moved into their own headers. This will allow us to
reduce the number of places in the code that rely on each
structure's contents and layout. Closes ticket 26383.
- Remove ATTR_NONNULL macro from codebase. Resolves ticket 26527.
- Remove GetAdaptersAddresses_fn_t. The code that used it was
removed as part of the 26481 refactor. Closes ticket 27467.
- Rework Tor SOCKS server code to use Trunnel and benefit from
autogenerated functions for parsing and generating SOCKS wire
format. New implementation is cleaner, more maintainable and
should be less prone to heartbleed-style vulnerabilities.
Implements a significant fraction of ticket 3569.
- Split sampled_guards_update_from_consensus() and
select_entry_guard_for_circuit() into subfunctions. In
entry_guards_update_primary() unite three smartlist enumerations
into one and move smartlist comparison code out of the function.
Closes ticket 21349.
- Tor now assumes that you have standards-conformant stdint.h and
inttypes.h headers when compiling. Closes ticket 26626.
- Unify our bloom filter logic. Previously we had two copies of this
code: one for routerlist filtering, and one for address set
calculations. Closes ticket 26510.
- Use the simpler strcmpstart() helper in
rend_parse_v2_service_descriptor instead of strncmp(). Closes
ticket 27630.
- Utility functions that can perform a DNS lookup are now wholly
separated from those that can't, in separate headers and C
modules. Closes ticket 26526.

- Warn users that they should not include MyFamily line(s) in their
torrc when running Tor bridge. Closes ticket 26908.
o Removed features:
- Tor no longer supports building with the dmalloc library. For
debugging memory issues, we suggest using gperftools or msan
instead. Closes ticket 26426.
- Tor no longer attempts to run on Windows environments without the
GetAdaptersAddresses() function. This function has existed since
Windows XP, which is itself already older than we support.
ChangeLog: add onion service versions to the Tor2web deprecation notice Tor2web was never implemented for v3 onion services.
2018-09-18 03:34:58 +02:00
- Remove Tor2web functionality for version 2 onion services. The
Tor2webMode and Tor2webRendezvousPoints options are now obsolete.
(This feature was never shipped in vanilla Tor and it was only
possible to use this feature by building the support at compile
time. Tor2webMode is not implemented for version 3 onion services.)
Closes ticket 26367.

RSA1024/DH1024 users in Tor. With OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre6, these
ciphers are disabled by default. Closes ticket 27344.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Enable macOS builds in our Travis CI configuration. Closes
ticket 24629.
- Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional
dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560.
- Run asciidoc during Travis CI. Implements ticket 27087.
- Use ccache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes ticket 26952.
o Minor features (geoip):

tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation.
Fixes bug 20424; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Silence a spurious compiler warning on the GetAdaptersAddresses
function pointer cast. This issue is already fixed by 26481 in
0.3.5 and later, by removing the lookup and cast. Fixes bug 27465;
bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
- Stop calling SetProcessDEPPolicy() on 64-bit Windows. It is not
supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the
function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows. Fixes bug 27461; bugfix
on 0.2.2.23-alpha.

- When voting for recommended versions, make sure that all of the
versions are well-formed and parsable. Fixes bug 26485; bugfix
on 0.1.1.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Fix a bug in out sandboxing rules for the openat() syscall.
Previously, no openat() call would be permitted, which would break
filesystem operations on recent glibc versions. Fixes bug 25440;
bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Diagnosis and patch from Daniel Pinto.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services, backport from 0.3.4.8):

Fixes bug 27226; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows, compilation, backport from 0.3.4.7-rc):
- Silence a compilation warning on MSVC 2017 and clang-cl. Fixes bug
27185; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.

- Authorities no longer vote to make the subprotocol version
"LinkAuth=1" a requirement: it is unsupportable with NSS, and
hasn't been needed since Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha. Closes ticket 27286.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 27089.

$HOME/.cargo by default. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha.
- cd to ${abs_top_builddir}/src/rust before running cargo in

Changes in version 0.3.4.8 - 2018-09-10
Tor 0.3.4.8 is the first stable release in its series; it includes
compilation and portability fixes.
The Tor 0.3.4 series includes improvements for running Tor in
low-power and embedded environments, which should help performance in
general. We've begun work on better modularity, and included preliminary
changes on the directory authority side to accommodate a new bandwidth
measurement system. We've also integrated more continuous-integration
systems into our development process, and made corresponding changes to
Tor's testing infrastructure. Finally, we've continued to refine
our anti-denial-of-service code.
Below are the changes since 0.3.4.7-rc. For a complete list of changes
since 0.3.3.9, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Minor features (compatibility):
- Tell OpenSSL to maintain backward compatibility with previous
RSA1024/DH1024 users in Tor. With OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre6, these
ciphers are disabled by default. Closes ticket 27344.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- Log the compiler path and version during Appveyor builds.
Implements ticket 27449.
- Show config.log and test-suite.log after failed Appveyor builds.
Also upload the zipped full logs as a build artifact. Implements
ticket 27430.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Silence a spurious compiler warning on the GetAdaptersAddresses
function pointer cast. This issue is already fixed by 26481 in
0.3.5 and later, by removing the lookup and cast. Fixes bug 27465;
bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
- Stop calling SetProcessDEPPolicy() on 64-bit Windows. It is not
supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the
function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows. Fixes bug 27461; bugfix
on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration):
- Disable gcc hardening in Appveyor Windows 64-bit builds. As of
August 29 2018, Appveyor images come with gcc 8.2.0 by default.
Executables compiled for 64-bit Windows with this version of gcc
crash when Tor's --enable-gcc-hardening flag is set. Fixes bug
27460; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- When a Travis build fails, and showing a log fails, keep trying to
show the other logs. Fixes bug 27453; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc.
- When we use echo in Travis, don't pass a --flag as the first
argument. Fixes bug 27418; bugfix on 0.3.4.7-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Silence a spurious compiler warning in
rend_client_send_introduction(). Fixes bug 27463; bugfix
on 0.1.1.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, chutney):
- When running make test-network-all, use the mixed+hs-v2 network.
(A previous fix to chutney removed v3 onion services from the
mixed+hs-v23 network, so seeing "mixed+hs-v23" in tests is
confusing.) Fixes bug 27345; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Before running make test-network-all, delete old logs and test
result files, to avoid spurious failures. Fixes bug 27295; bugfix
on 0.2.7.3-rc.
Forward-port changelog from 0.3.4.7-rc
2018-08-24 22:50:12 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.4.7-rc - 2018-08-24
Tor 0.3.4.7-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and
correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a
release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the
stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
o Minor features (bug workaround):
- Compile correctly on systems that provide the C11 stdatomic.h
header, but where C11 atomic functions don't actually compile.
Closes ticket 26779; workaround for Debian issue 903709.
o Minor features (continuous integration):
- Backport Travis rust distcheck to 0.3.3. Closes ticket 24629.
- Enable macOS builds in our Travis CI configuration. Closes
ticket 24629.
- Install libcap-dev and libseccomp2-dev so these optional
dependencies get tested on Travis CI. Closes ticket 26560.
- Only post Appveyor IRC notifications when the build fails.
Implements ticket 27275.
- Run asciidoc during Travis CI. Implements ticket 27087.
- Use ccache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes ticket 26952.
o Minor features (continuous integration, rust):
- Use cargo cache in our Travis CI configuration. Closes
ticket 26952.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Authorities no longer vote to make the subprotocol version
"LinkAuth=1" a requirement: it is unsupportable with NSS, and
hasn't been needed since Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha. Closes ticket 27286.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 27089.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, windows):
- Don't link or search for pthreads when building for Windows, even
if we are using build environment (like mingw) that provides a
pthreads library. Fixes bug 27081; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration):
- Improve Appveyor CI IRC logging. Generate correct branches and
URLs for pull requests and tags. Use unambiguous short commits.
Fixes bug 26979; bugfix on master.
- Build with zstd on macOS. Fixes bug 27090; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha.
- Pass the module flags to distcheck configure, and log the flags
before running configure. (Backported to 0.2.9 and later as a
precaution.) Fixes bug 27088; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (in-process restart):
- Always call tor_free_all() when leaving tor_run_main(). When we
did not, restarting tor in-process would cause an assertion
failure. Fixes bug 26948; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Fix a bug in out sandboxing rules for the openat() syscall.
Previously, no openat() call would be permitted, which would break
filesystem operations on recent glibc versions. Fixes bug 25440;
bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Diagnosis and patch from Daniel Pinto.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Fix bug that causes services to not ever rotate their descriptors
if they were getting SIGHUPed often. Fixes bug 26932; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Fix compilation of the unit tests on GNU/Hurd, which does not
define PATH_MAX. Fixes bug 26873; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch
from "paulusASol".
o Minor bugfixes (rust):
- Backport test_rust.sh from master. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix
on 0.3.1.5-alpha.
- Consistently use ../../.. as a fallback for $abs_top_srcdir in
test_rust.sh. Fixes bug 27093; bugfix on 0.3.4.3-alpha.
- Protover parsing was accepting the presence of whitespace in
version strings, which the C implementation would choke on, e.g.
"Desc=1\t,2". Fixes bug 27177; bugfix on 0.3.3.5-rc.
- Protover parsing was ignoring a 2nd hyphen and everything after
it, accepting entries like "Link=1-5-foo". Fixes bug 27164; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Stop setting $CARGO_HOME. cargo will use the user's $CARGO_HOME, or
$HOME/.cargo by default. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix on 0.3.1.5-alpha.
- cd to ${abs_top_builddir}/src/rust before running cargo in
src/test/test_rust.sh. This makes the working directory consistent
between builds and tests. Fixes bug 26497; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, bootstrap):
- When calculating bootstrap progress, check exit policies and the
exit flag. Previously, Tor would only check the exit flag, which
caused race conditions in small and fast networks like chutney.
Fixes bug 27236; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, openssl compatibility):
- Our "tortls/cert_matches_key" unit test no longer relies on
OpenSSL internals. Previously, it relied on unsupported OpenSSL
behavior in a way that caused it to crash with OpenSSL 1.0.2p.
Fixes bug 27226; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows, compilation):
- Silence a compilation warning on MSVC 2017 and clang-cl. Fixes bug
27185; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.

2018-08-08 02:09:35 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.4.6-rc - 2018-08-06
Tor 0.3.4.6-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and
correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a
release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the
stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
o Major bugfixes (event scheduler):
- When we enable a periodic event, schedule it in the event loop
rather than running it immediately. Previously, we would re-run
periodic events immediately in the middle of (for example)
changing our options, with unpredictable effects. Fixes bug 27003;
bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
o Minor features (compilation):
- When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
ticket 26372.

tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation.
Fixes bug 20424; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Don't try to use a pragma to temporarily disable the
-Wunused-const-variable warning if the compiler doesn't support
it. Fixes bug 26785; bugfix on 0.3.2.11.
o Minor bugfixes (continuous integration):
- Skip a pair of unreliable key generation tests on Windows, until
the underlying issue in bug 26076 is resolved. Fixes bug 26830 and
bug 26853; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc and 0.3.2.1-alpha respectively.
o Minor features (controller):
- The control port now exposes the list of HTTPTunnelPorts and
ExtOrPorts via GETINFO net/listeners/httptunnel and
net/listeners/extor respectively. Closes ticket 26647.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
- When voting for recommended versions, make sure that all of the
versions are well-formed and parsable. Fixes bug 26485; bugfix
on 0.1.1.6-alpha.

that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug
26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Report the port correctly when a port is configured to bind to
"auto". Fixes bug 26568; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Parse the "HSADDRESS=" parameter in HSPOST commands properly.
Previously, it was misparsed and ignored. Fixes bug 26523; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch by "akwizgran".
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, flow control):
- Upon receiving a stream-level SENDME cell, verify that our window
has not grown too large. Fixes bug 26214; bugfix on svn

2018-09-07 15:32:31 +02:00
- Work around two different bugs in the OS X 10.10 and later SDKs
that would prevent us from successfully targeting earlier versions
of OS X. Fixes bug 26876; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web):
- Log a protocol warning when single onion services or Tor2web
clients fail to authenticate direct connections to relays. Fixes
bug 26924; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Disable core dumps in test_bt.sh, to avoid failures in "make
distcheck". Fixes bug 26787; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.

Changes in version 0.3.2.11 - 2018-07-13
Tor 0.3.2.11 moves to a new bridge authority, meaning people running
bridge relays should upgrade. We also take this opportunity to backport
other minor fixes.
o Directory authority changes:
- The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.3.3.7):
- Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
Closes ticket 26343.
o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they
would previously log a warning with the contents of an
uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Correctly detect when onion services get disabled after HUP. Fixes
bug 25761; bugfix on 0.3.2.1.
o Minor features (sandbox, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
- Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux
seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of
libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313.
o Minor feature (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
- Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel,
now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the
results of "make distcheck". (It's not uncommon for "make check"
to pass but "make distcheck" to fail.) Closes ticket 25814.
- Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls
coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818.
o Minor features (relay, diagnostic, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):

sleep() and usleep(). Fixes bug 24969; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
- When running the hs_ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass

o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
- Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that
would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty
password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with
OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances
would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.3.3.5-rc):
- Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to
their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters
are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always
be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.

protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
- Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer
dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by
Coverity; this is CID 1430932.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Fix a memory leak when a v3 onion service is configured and gets a
SIGHUP signal. Fixes bug 25901; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- When parsing the descriptor signature, look for the token plus an
extra white-space at the end. This is more correct but also will
allow us to support new fields that might start with "signature".

onion service introduction point creation finishing within 5
seconds of real clock time. Fixes bug 25450; bugfix
on 0.3.1.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):

compilation issues when compiling Tor with certain versions of
xtools. Fixes bug 25474; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory, correctness, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
- Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes
bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions.

protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness, backport from 0.3.3.4-alpha):
- Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer
dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by
Coverity; this is CID 1430932.

Changes in version 0.3.4.4-rc - 2018-07-09
Tor 0.3.4.4-rc fixes several small compilation, portability, and
correctness issues in previous versions of Tor. This version is a
release candidate: if no serious bugs are found, we expect that the
stable 0.3.4 release will be (almost) the same as this release.
o Minor features (compilation):
- When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
ticket 26372.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 26674.
o Minor features (Rust, portability):
- Rust cross-compilation is now supported. Closes ticket 25895.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building
code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming
that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug
26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (control port):
- Report the port correctly when a port is configured to bind to
"auto". Fixes bug 26568; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Handle the HSADDRESS= argument to the HSPOST command properly.
(Previously, this argument was misparsed and thus ignored.) Fixes
bug 26523; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha. Patch by "akwizgran".
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, flow control):
- Upon receiving a stream-level SENDME cell, verify that our window
has not grown too large. Fixes bug 26214; bugfix on svn
r54 (pre-0.0.1).
o Minor bugfixes (memory, correctness):
- Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes
bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility):
- When running the hs_ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass
strings (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess
module. Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug
26535; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When running the ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass strings
(rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess module.

Changes in version 0.3.3.8 - 2018-07-09
Tor 0.3.3.8 backports several changes from the 0.3.4.x series, including
fixes for a memory leak affecting directory authorities.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- Stop leaking memory on directory authorities when planning to
vote. This bug was crashing authorities by exhausting their
memory. Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
o Major bugfixes (rust, testing, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build
to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix
on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
o Minor features (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
- When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
ticket 26372.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 26674.
o Minor features (relay, diagnostic, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- Add several checks to detect whether Tor relays are uploading
their descriptors without specifying why they regenerated them.
Diagnostic for ticket 25686.
o Minor bugfixes (circuit path selection, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Don't count path selection failures as circuit build failures.
This change should eliminate cases where Tor blames its guard or
the network for situations like insufficient microdescriptors
and/or overly restrictive torrc settings. Fixes bug 25705; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
- Fix a compilation warning on some versions of GCC when building
code that calls routerinfo_get_my_routerinfo() twice, assuming
that the second call will succeed if the first one did. Fixes bug
26269; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.

- Fix a number of small memory leaks identified by coverity. Fixes
bug 26467; bugfix on numerous Tor versions.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.4.3-alpha):
- Relays now correctly block attempts to re-extend to the previous
relay by Ed25519 identity. Previously they would warn in this
case, but not actually reject the attempt. Fixes bug 26158; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (restart-in-process, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- When shutting down, Tor now clears all the flags in the control.c
module. This should prevent a bug where authentication cookies are
not generated on restart. Fixes bug 25512; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.4-rc):
- When running the hs_ntor_ref.py test, make sure only to pass
strings (rather than "bytes" objects) to the Python subprocess
module. Python 3 on Windows seems to require this. Fixes bug
26535; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

2018-06-26 14:49:06 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.4.3-alpha - 2018-06-26
Tor 0.3.4.3-alpha fixes several bugs in earlier versions, including
one that was causing stability issues on directory authorities.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority):
- Stop leaking memory on directory authorities when planning to
vote. This bug was crashing authorities by exhausting their
memory. Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
o Major bugfixes (rust, testing):
- Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build
to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix
on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
o Minor feature (directory authorities):
- Stop warning about incomplete bw lines before the first complete
bw line has been found, so that additional header lines can be
ignored. Fixes bug 25960; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha
o Minor features (relay, diagnostic):
- Add several checks to detect whether Tor relays are uploading
their descriptors without specifying why they regenerated them.
Diagnostic for ticket 25686.
o Minor features (unit tests):
- Test complete bandwidth measurements files, and test that
incomplete bandwidth lines only give warnings when the end of the
header has not been detected. Fixes bug 25947; bugfix
on 0.2.2.1-alpha
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Refrain from compiling unit testing related object files when
--disable-unittests is set to configure script. Fixes bug 24891;
bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- When linking the libtor_testing.a library, only include the
dirauth object files once. Previously, they were getting added
twice. Fixes bug 26402; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- The --enable-fatal-warnings flag now affects Rust code as well.
Closes ticket 26245.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Recompute some consensus information after detecting a clock jump,
or after transitioning from a non-live consensus to a live
consensus. We do this to avoid having an outdated state, and
miscalculating the index for next-generation onion services. Fixes
bug 24977; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Relays now correctly block attempts to re-extend to the previous
relay by Ed25519 identity. Previously they would warn in this
case, but not actually reject the attempt. Fixes bug 26158; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Fix compilation of the doctests in the Rust crypto crate. Fixes
bug 26415; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Instead of trying to read the geoip configuration files from
within the unit tests, instead create our own ersatz files with
just enough geoip data in the format we expect. Trying to read
from the source directory created problems on Windows with mingw,
where the build system's paths are not the same as the platform's
paths. Fixes bug 25787; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
- Refrain from trying to get an item from an empty smartlist in
test_bridges_clear_bridge_list. Set DEBUG_SMARTLIST in unit tests
to catch improper smartlist usage. Furthermore, enable
DEBUG_SMARTLIST globally when build is configured with fragile
hardening. Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.

2018-06-12 18:06:26 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.3.7 - 2018-06-12
Tor 0.3.3.7 backports several changes from the 0.3.4.x series, including
fixes for bugs affecting compatibility and stability.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
Closes ticket 26343.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 26351.
o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
- Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that
would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty
password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with
OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances
would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
- Silence unused-const-variable warnings in zstd.h with some GCC
versions. Fixes bug 26272; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
- Improve accuracy of the BUILDTIMEOUT_SET control port event's
TIMEOUT_RATE and CLOSE_RATE fields. (We were previously
miscounting the total number of circuits for these field values.)
Fixes bug 26121; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hardening, backport from 0.3.4.2-alpha):
- Prevent a possible out-of-bounds smartlist read in
protover_compute_vote(). Fixes bug 26196; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (path selection, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Only select relays when they have the descriptors we prefer to use
for them. This change fixes a bug where we could select a relay
because it had _some_ descriptor, but reject it later with a
nonfatal assertion error because it didn't have the exact one we
wanted. Fixes bugs 25691 and 25692; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.

Changes in version 0.3.3.6 - 2018-05-22
Tor 0.3.3.6 is the first stable release in the 0.3.3 series. It
backports several important fixes from the 0.3.4.1-alpha.
The Tor 0.3.3 series includes controller support and other
improvements for v3 onion services, official support for embedding Tor
within other applications, and our first non-trivial module written in
the Rust programming language. (Rust is still not enabled by default
when building Tor.) And as usual, there are numerous other smaller
bugfixes, features, and improvements.
Below are the changes since 0.3.3.5-rc. For a list of all changes
since 0.3.2.10, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, security, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- When directory authorities read a zero-byte bandwidth file, they
would previously log a warning with the contents of an
uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, directory authority, denial-of-service):
- Fix a bug that could have allowed an attacker to force a directory
authority to use up all its RAM by passing it a maliciously
crafted protocol versions string. Fixes bug 25517; bugfix on
0.2.9.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2018-005.
o Major bugfixes (crash, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Avoid a rare assertion failure in the circuit build timeout code
if we fail to allow any circuits to actually complete. Fixes bug
25733; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Avoid a crash when testing router reachability on a router that
could have an ed25519 ID, but which does not. Fixes bug 25415;
bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Correctly detect when onion services get disabled after HUP. Fixes
bug 25761; bugfix on 0.3.2.1.
o Major bugfixes (relay, denial of service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Impose a limit on circuit cell queue size. The limit can be
controlled by a consensus parameter. Fixes bug 25226; bugfix
on 0.2.4.14-alpha.
o Minor features (compatibility, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Avoid some compilation warnings with recent versions of LibreSSL.
Closes ticket 26006.
o Minor features (continuous integration, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Our .travis.yml configuration now includes support for testing the
results of "make distcheck". (It's not uncommon for "make check"
to pass but "make distcheck" to fail.) Closes ticket 25814.
- Our Travis CI configuration now integrates with the Coveralls
coverage analysis tool. Closes ticket 25818.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 1 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country
database. Closes ticket 26104.
o Minor bugfixes (client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Don't consider Tor running as a client if the ControlPort is open,
but no actual client ports are open. Fixes bug 26062; bugfix
on 0.2.9.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, client, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Upon receiving a malformed connected cell, stop processing the
cell immediately. Previously we would mark the connection for
close, but continue processing the cell as if the connection were
open. Fixes bug 26072; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Stop saying in the manual that clients cache ipv4 dns answers from
exit relays. We haven't used them since 0.2.6.3-alpha, and in
ticket 24050 we stopped even caching them as of 0.3.2.6-alpha, but
we forgot to say so in the man page. Fixes bug 26052; bugfix
on 0.3.2.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Allow the nanosleep() system call, which glibc uses to implement
sleep() and usleep(). Fixes bug 24969; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
- Fix a memory leak when a v3 onion service is configured and gets a
SIGHUP signal. Fixes bug 25901; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- When parsing the descriptor signature, look for the token plus an
extra white-space at the end. This is more correct but also will
allow us to support new fields that might start with "signature".
Fixes bug 26069; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.4.1-alpha):
forward-port the changelog stanzas to 0.3.5 too
2018-07-13 03:52:54 +02:00
- Avoid a crash when running with DirPort set but ORPort turned off.

- Tor no longer enables all of its periodic events by default.
Previously, Tor would enable all possible main loop events,
regardless of whether it needed them. Furthermore, many of these
events are now disabled with Tor is hibernating or DisableNetwork
is set. This is a big step towards reducing client CPU usage by
reducing the amount of wake-ups the daemon does. Closes ticket
25376 and 25762.

bandwidth calculations are performed on-demand, rather than every
TokenBucketRefillInterval milliseconds. This change should improve
the granularity of our bandwidth calculations, and limit the
number of times that the Tor process needs to wake up when it is
idle. Closes ticket 25373.

- Move responsibility for many operations from a once-per-second
callback to a callback that is only scheduled as needed. Moving
this functionality has allowed us to disable the callback when
Tor's network is disabled. Once enough items are removed from our
once-per-second callback, we can eliminate it entirely to conserve
CPU when idle. The functionality removed includes: closing
connections, circuits, and channels (ticket 25932); consensus
voting (25937); flushing log callbacks (25951); honoring delayed
SIGNEWNYM requests (25949); rescanning the consensus cache
(25931); saving the state file to disk (25948); warning relay
operators about unreachable ports (25952); and keeping track of
Tor's uptime (26009).

o Major bugfixes (protover, voting):

2018-05-15 18:34:12 +02:00
- Revise Rust implementation of protover to use a more memory-
efficient voting algorithm and corresponding data structures, thus
avoiding a potential (but small impact) DoS attack where specially
crafted protocol strings would expand to several potential
megabytes in memory. In the process, several portions of code were
revised to be methods on new, custom types, rather than functions
taking interchangeable types, thus increasing type safety of the
module. Custom error types and handling were added as well, in
order to facilitate better error dismissal/handling in outside
crates and avoid mistakenly passing an internal error string to C
over the FFI boundary. Many tests were added, and some previous

- Directory authorities will no longer support voting according to

- The PortForwarding and PortForwardingHelper features have been
run format-changelog
2018-05-15 18:34:12 +02:00
removed. The reasoning is, given that implementations of NAT
traversal protocols within common consumer grade routers are
frequently buggy, and that the target audience for a NAT punching
feature is a perhaps less-technically-inclined relay operator,
when the helper fails to setup traversal the problems are usually
deep, ugly, and very router specific, making them horrendously
impossible for technical support to reliable assist with, and thus
resulting in frustration all around. Unfortunately, relay
operators who would like to run relays behind NATs will need to
become more familiar with the port forwarding configurations on
their local router. Closes 25409.

2018-04-15 21:40:01 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.3.5-rc - 2018-04-15
Tor 0.3.3.5-rc fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor,
including some that could affect reliability or correctness.
This is the first release candidate in the 0.3.3 series. If we find no
new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.3 release will
be nearly identical to this one.
o Major bugfixes (security, protover, voting):
- Revise Rust implementation of protover to use a more memory-
efficient voting algorithm and corresponding data structures, thus
avoiding a potential memory-based DoS attack where specially
crafted protocol strings would expand to fill available memory.
Fixes bug 24031; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (performance, load balancing):
- Directory authorities no longer vote in favor of the Guard flag
for relays without directory support. Starting in Tor
0.3.0.1-alpha, clients have been avoiding using such relays in the
Guard position, leading to increasingly broken load balancing for
the 5%-or-so of Guards that don't advertise directory support.
Fixes bug 22310; bugfix on 0.3.0.6.
o Minor feature (continuous integration):
- Update the Travis CI configuration to use the stable Rust channel,
now that we have decided to require that. Closes ticket 25714.
o Minor features (config options):
- Change the way the default value for MaxMemInQueues is calculated.
We now use 40% of the hardware RAM if the system has 8 GB RAM or
more. Otherwise we use the former value of 75%. Closes
ticket 24782.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 3 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 25718.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- When using a listed relay as a bridge, and also using
microdescriptors, and considering that relay as a non-bridge in a
circuit, treat its microdescriptor as a valid source of
information about that relay. This change should prevent a non-
fatal assertion error. Fixes bug 25691; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Restore the correct operation of the RESOLVE command, which had
been broken since we added the ability to enable/disable DNS on
specific listener ports. Fixes bug 25617; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (distribution, compilation, rust):
- Build correctly when the rust dependencies submodule is loaded,
but the TOR_RUST_DEPENDENCIES environment variable is not set.
Fixes bug 25679; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Actually include all of our Rust source in our source
distributions. (Previously, a few of the files were accidentally
omitted.) Fixes bug 25732; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Document that the PerConnBW{Rate,Burst} options will fall back to
their corresponding consensus parameters only if those parameters
are set. Previously we had claimed that these values would always
be set in the consensus. Fixes bug 25296; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
- Revert a misformatting issue in the ExitPolicy documentation.
Fixes bug 25582; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (exit relay DNS retries):

2018-04-15 21:40:01 +02:00
- Re-attempt timed-out DNS queries 3 times before failure, since our
timeout is 5 seconds for them, but clients wait 10-15. Also allow
slightly more timeouts per resolver when an exit has multiple
resolvers configured. Fixes bug 21394; bugfix on 0.3.1.9.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Re-instate counting the client HSDir fetch circuits against the
MaxClientCircuitsPending rate limit. Fixes bug 24989; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- Remove underscores from the _HSLayer{2,3}Nodes options. This
expert-user configuration can now be enabled as HSLayer{2,3}Nodes.
Fixes bug 25581; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Move the list of default directory authorities to its own file.
Closes ticket 24854. Patch by "beastr0".
o Documentation (manpage, denial of service):
- Provide more detail about the denial-of-service options, by
listing each mitigation and explaining how they relate. Closes
ticket 25248.

o New system requirements:
- When built with Rust, Tor now depends on version 0.2.39 of the
libc crate. Closes tickets 25310 and 25664.
o Major bugfixes (relay, connection):
- If we have failed to connect to a relay and received a connection
refused, timeout, or similar error (at the TCP level), do not try
that same address/port again for 60 seconds after the failure has
occurred. Fixes bug 24767; bugfix on 0.0.6.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the March 8 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database. Closes ticket 25469.
o Minor features (log messages):
- Improve log message in the out-of-memory handler to include
information about memory usage from the different compression
backends. Closes ticket 25372.
o Minor features (sandbox):
- Explicitly permit the poll() system call when the Linux
seccomp2-based sandbox is enabled: apparently, some versions of
libc use poll() when calling getpwnam(). Closes ticket 25313.
o Minor bugfixes (C correctness):
- Fix a very unlikely (impossible, we believe) null pointer
dereference. Fixes bug 25629; bugfix on 0.2.9.15. Found by
Coverity; this is CID 1430932.
o Minor bugfixes (channel, client):
- Better identify client connection when reporting to the geoip
client cache. Fixes bug 24904; bugfix on 0.3.1.7.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a C99 compliance issue in our configuration script that caused
compilation issues when compiling Tor with certain versions of
xtools. Fixes bug 25474; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, reliability):
- Avoid a (nonfatal) assertion failure when extending a one-hop
circuit from the controller to become a multihop circuit. Fixes

information, so we can better hunt down the cause of this
assertion. Fixes bug 25306; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Avoid intermittent test failures due to a test that had relied on
onion service introduction point creation finishing within 5
seconds of real clock time. Fixes bug 25450; bugfix
on 0.3.1.3-alpha.
- Rust crates are now automatically detected and tested. Previously,
some crates were not tested by `make test-rust` due to a static
string in the `src/test/test_rust.sh` script specifying which
crates to test. Fixes bug 25560; bugfix on 0.3.3.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, benchmarks):
- Fix a crash when running benchmark tests on win32 systems. The
crash was due to a mutex that wasn't initialized before logging
and options were initialized. Fixes bug 25479; bugfix
on 0.3.3.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (warnings, ipv6):
- Avoid a bug warning that could occur when trying to connect to a
relay over IPv6. This warning would occur on a Tor instance that
downloads router descriptors, but prefers to use microdescriptors.
Fixes bug 25213; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Remove the old (deterministic) directory retry logic entirely:
We've used exponential backoff exclusively for some time. Closes
ticket 23814.
o Documentation:
- Improved the documentation of AccountingStart parameter. Closes
ticket 23635.
- Update the documentation for "Log" to include the current list of
logging domains. Closes ticket 25378.

All directory authorities should upgrade to one of the versions
released today. Relays running 0.3.1.x may wish to update to one of
the versions released today, for the DoS mitigations.
Please note: according to our release calendar, Tor 0.3.1 will no
longer be supported after 1 July 2018. If you will be running Tor
after that date, you should make sure to plan to upgrade to the latest
stable version, or downgrade to 0.2.9 (which will receive long-term
support).

o Major bugfixes (denial-of-service, directory authority, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha):
- Fix a protocol-list handling bug that could be used to remotely crash
directory authorities with a null-pointer exception. Fixes bug 25074;
bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2018-001 and
CVE-2018-0490.
o Major features (denial-of-service mitigation, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Give relays some defenses against the recent network overload. We
start with three defenses (default parameters in parentheses).
First: if a single client address makes too many concurrent
connections (>100), hang up on further connections. Second: if a
single client address makes circuits too quickly (more than 3 per
second, with an allowed burst of 90) while also having too many
connections open (3), refuse new create cells for the next while
(1-2 hours). Third: if a client asks to establish a rendezvous
point to you directly, ignore the request. These defenses can be
manually controlled by new torrc options, but relays will also
take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to
configure anything manually. Implements ticket 24902.

2018-03-03 13:58:12 +01:00
o Major bugfixes (onion services, retry behavior, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the
onion service side. While we thought we would stop the rendezvous
attempt after one failed circuit, we were actually making three
circuit attempts before giving up. Now switch to a default of 2,
and allow the consensus parameter "hs_service_max_rdv_failures" to
override. Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
o Major bugfixes (protocol versions, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Add Link protocol version 5 to the supported protocols list. Fixes
bug 25070; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- Fix a set of false positives where relays would consider
connections to other relays as being client-only connections (and
thus e.g. deserving different link padding schemes) if those
relays fell out of the consensus briefly. Now we look only at the
initial handshake and whether the connection authenticated as a
relay. Fixes bug 24898; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor features (denial-of-service avoidance, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Make our OOM handler aware of the geoip client history cache so it
doesn't fill up the memory. This check is important for IPv6 and
our DoS mitigation subsystem. Closes ticket 25122.

o Minor features (compatibility, OpenSSL, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha):
- Tor will now support TLS1.3 once OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released.
Previous versions of Tor would not have worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1,
since they neither disabled TLS 1.3 nor enabled any of the
ciphersuites it requires. Now we enable the TLS 1.3 ciphersuites.

o Minor features (fallback directory mirrors, backport from 0.3.2.9):
- The fallback directory list has been re-generated based on the
current status of the network. Tor uses fallback directories to
bootstrap when it doesn't yet have up-to-date directory
information. Closes ticket 24801.
- Make the default DirAuthorityFallbackRate 0.1, so that clients
prefer to bootstrap from fallback directory mirrors. This is a
follow-up to 24679, which removed weights from the default
fallbacks. Implements ticket 24681.

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 7 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfix (channel connection, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Use the actual observed address of an incoming relay connection,
not the canonical address of the relay from its descriptor, when
making decisions about how to handle the incoming connection.
Fixes bug 24952; bugfix on 0.2.4.11-alpha. Patch by "ffmancera".

o Minor bugfix (directory authority, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Directory authorities, when refusing a descriptor from a rejected
relay, now explicitly tell the relay (in its logs) to set a valid
ContactInfo address and contact the bad-relays@ mailing list.
Fixes bug 25170; bugfix on 0.2.9.1.
o Minor bugfixes (address selection, backport from 0.3.2.9):
- When the fascist_firewall_choose_address_ functions don't find a
reachable address, set the returned address to the null address
and port. This is a precautionary measure, because some callers do
not check the return value. Fixes bug 24736; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (bootstrapping, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- Fetch descriptors aggressively whenever we lack enough to build
circuits, regardless of how many descriptors we are missing.
Previously, we would delay launching the fetch when we had fewer
than 15 missing descriptors, even if some of those descriptors
were blocking circuits from building. Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on
0.1.1.11-alpha. The effects of this bug became worse in
0.3.0.3-alpha, when we began treating missing descriptors from our
primary guards as a reason to delay circuits.
- Don't try fetching microdescriptors from relays that have failed
to deliver them in the past. Fixes bug 23817; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.7-rc):
- Fix a signed/unsigned comparison warning introduced by our fix to
TROVE-2017-009. Fixes bug 24480; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
o Minor bugfixes (control port, linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- Avoid a crash when attempting to use the seccomp2 sandbox together
with the OwningControllerProcess feature. Fixes bug 24198; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha):
- Fix a possible crash on malformed consensus. If a consensus had
contained an unparseable protocol line, it could have made clients
and relays crash with a null-pointer exception. To exploit this
issue, however, an attacker would need to be able to subvert the
directory authority system. Fixes bug 25251; bugfix on
0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2018-004.

o Minor bugfixes (directory cache, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- Recover better from empty or corrupt files in the consensus cache
directory. Fixes bug 24099; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When a consensus diff calculation is only partially successful,
only record the successful parts as having succeeded. Partial
success can happen if (for example) one compression method fails
but the others succeed. Previously we misrecorded all the
calculations as having succeeded, which would later cause a
nonfatal assertion failure. Fixes bug 24086; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (entry guards, backport from 0.3.2.3-alpha):
- Tor now updates its guard state when it reads a consensus
regardless of whether it's missing descriptors. That makes tor use
its primary guards to fetch descriptors in some edge cases where
it would previously have used fallback directories. Fixes bug
23862; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.

it can happen normally when we are out of disk space. Fixes bug

o Minor bugfixes (memory usage, backport from 0.3.2.8-rc):
- When queuing DESTROY cells on a channel, only queue the circuit-id
and reason fields: not the entire 514-byte cell. This fix should
help mitigate any bugs or attacks that fill up these queues, and
free more RAM for other uses. Fixes bug 24666; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (network layer, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- When closing a connection via close_connection_immediately(), we
mark it as "not blocked on bandwidth", to prevent later calls from
trying to unblock it, and give it permission to read. This fixes a
backtrace warning that can happen on relays under various
circumstances. Fixes bug 24167; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (path selection, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- When selecting relays by bandwidth, avoid a rounding error that
could sometimes cause load to be imbalanced incorrectly.
Previously, we would always round upwards; now, we round towards
the nearest integer. This had the biggest effect when a relay's
weight adjustments should have given it weight 0, but it got
weight 1 instead. Fixes bug 23318; bugfix on 0.2.4.3-alpha.
- When calculating the fraction of nodes that have descriptors, and
all nodes in the network have zero bandwidths, count the number of
nodes instead. Fixes bug 23318; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
- Actually log the total bandwidth in compute_weighted_bandwidths().

o Minor bugfixes (performance, fragile-hardening, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- Improve the performance of our consensus-diff application code
when Tor is built with the --enable-fragile-hardening option set.
Fixes bug 24826; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (OSX, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- Don't exit the Tor process if setrlimit() fails to change the file
limit (which can happen sometimes on some versions of OSX). Fixes
bug 21074; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.

o Minor bugfixes (portability, msvc, backport from 0.3.2.9):

MSVC. (Note that MSVC is still not a supported build platform, due
to cyptographic timing channel risks.) Fixes bug 24633; bugfix
on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, partial backport):
- Make the internal channel_is_client() function look at what sort
of connection handshake the other side used, rather than whether
the other side ever sent a create_fast cell to us. Backports part
of the fixes from bugs 22805 and 24898.

o Major features (denial-of-service mitigation):
- Give relays some defenses against the recent network overload. We
start with three defenses (default parameters in parentheses).
First: if a single client address makes too many concurrent
connections (>100), hang up on further connections. Second: if a
single client address makes circuits too quickly (more than 3 per
second, with an allowed burst of 90) while also having too many
connections open (3), refuse new create cells for the next while
(1-2 hours). Third: if a client asks to establish a rendezvous
point to you directly, ignore the request. These defenses can be
manually controlled by new torrc options, but relays will also
take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to
configure anything manually. Implements ticket 24902.
o Major bugfixes (bootstrapping):
- Fetch descriptors aggressively whenever we lack enough to build
circuits, regardless of how many descriptors we are missing.
Previously, we would delay launching the fetch when we had fewer
than 15 missing descriptors, even if some of those descriptors
were blocking circuits from building. Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on
0.1.1.11-alpha. The effects of this bug became worse in
0.3.0.3-alpha, when we began treating missing descriptors from our
primary guards as a reason to delay circuits.
o Major bugfixes (onion services, retry behavior):
- Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the
onion service side. While we thought we would stop the rendezvous
attempt after one failed circuit, we were actually making three
circuit attempts before giving up. Now switch to a default of 2,
and allow the consensus parameter "hs_service_max_rdv_failures" to
override. Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
o Minor feature (relay statistics):
- Change relay bandwidth reporting stats interval from 4 hours to 24
hours in order to reduce the efficiency of guard discovery
attacks. Fixes ticket 23856.

o Minor features (compatibility, OpenSSL):
- Tor will now support TLS1.3 once OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released.
Previous versions of Tor would not have worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1,
since they neither disabled TLS 1.3 nor enabled any of the
ciphersuites it requires. Now we enable the TLS 1.3 ciphersuites.

- New-style (v3) onion services now obey the "max rendezvous circuit
attempts" logic. Previously they would make as many rendezvous
circuit attempts as they could fit in the MAX_REND_TIMEOUT second
window before giving up. Fixes bug 24894; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

o Major bugfixes (protocol versions, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Add Link protocol version 5 to the supported protocols list. Fixes
bug 25070; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- Fix a set of false positives where relays would consider
connections to other relays as being client-only connections (and
thus e.g. deserving different link padding schemes) if those
relays fell out of the consensus briefly. Now we look only at the
initial handshake and whether the connection authenticated as a
relay. Fixes bug 24898; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.

o Minor features (denial-of-service avoidance, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):
- Make our OOM handler aware of the geoip client history cache so it
doesn't fill up the memory. This check is important for IPv6 and
our DoS mitigation subsystem. Closes ticket 25122.
o Minor features (compatibility, OpenSSL, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha):
- Tor will now support TLS1.3 once OpenSSL 1.1.1 is released.
Previous versions of Tor would not have worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1,
since they neither disabled TLS 1.3 nor enabled any of the
ciphersuites it requires. Now we enable the TLS 1.3 ciphersuites.

o Minor bugfix (channel connection, backport from 0.3.3.2-alpha):

not the canonical address of the relay from its descriptor, when
making decisions about how to handle the incoming connection.
Fixes bug 24952; bugfix on 0.2.4.11-alpha. Patch by "ffmancera".
o Minor bugfixes (denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.3.3-alpha):
- Fix a possible crash on malformed consensus. If a consensus had
contained an unparseable protocol line, it could have made clients
and relays crash with a null-pointer exception. To exploit this
issue, however, an attacker would need to be able to subvert the
directory authority system. Fixes bug 25251; bugfix on
0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2018-004.

relay, now explicitly tell the relay (in its logs) to set a valid
ContactInfo address and contact the bad-relays@ mailing list.
Fixes bug 25170; bugfix on 0.2.9.1.
o Minor bugfixes (build, rust, backport from 0.3.3.1-alpha):
- When building with Rust on OSX, link against libresolv, to work
around the issue at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46797.

Additionally, with this release, we are upgrading the severity of a
bug fixed in 0.3.3.2-alpha. Bug 24700, which was fixed in
0.3.3.2-alpha, can be remotely triggered in order to crash relays with
a use-after-free pattern. As such, we are now tracking that bug as
TROVE-2018-002 and CVE-2018-0491. This bug affected versions
0.3.2.1-alpha through 0.3.2.9, as well as 0.3.3.1-alpha.

o Major features (denial-of-service mitigation):
- Give relays some defenses against the recent network overload. We
start with three defenses (default parameters in parentheses).
First: if a single client address makes too many concurrent
connections (>100), hang up on further connections. Second: if a
single client address makes circuits too quickly (more than 3 per
second, with an allowed burst of 90) while also having too many
connections open (3), refuse new create cells for the next while
(1-2 hours). Third: if a client asks to establish a rendezvous
point to you directly, ignore the request. These defenses can be
manually controlled by new torrc options, but relays will also
take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to
configure anything manually. Implements ticket 24902.
o Major bugfixes (netflow padding):
- Stop adding unneeded channel padding right after we finish
flushing to a connection that has been trying to flush for many
seconds. Instead, treat all partial or complete flushes as
activity on the channel, which will defer the time until we need
to add padding. This fix should resolve confusing and scary log
messages like "Channel padding timeout scheduled 221453ms in the
past." Fixes bug 22212; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (protocol versions):

o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- Avoid calling protocol_list_supports_protocol() from inside tight
loops when running with cached routerinfo_t objects. Instead,
summarize the relevant protocols as flags in the routerinfo_t, as
we do for routerstatus_t objects. This change simplifies our code
a little, and saves a large amount of short-term memory allocation
operations. Fixes bug 25008; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha.

- Fix a minor memory leak which would happen whenever the C code

Changes in version 0.3.3.1-alpha - 2018-01-25
finish writing the blurb
2018-01-25 17:05:25 +01:00
Tor 0.3.3.1-alpha is the first release in the 0.3.3.x series. It adds
several new features to Tor, including several improvements to
bootstrapping, and support for an experimental "vanguards" feature to
resist guard discovery attacks. This series also includes better
support for applications that need to embed Tor or manage v3
onion services.

o Major features (embedding):
- There is now a documented stable API for programs that need to
embed Tor. See tor_api.h for full documentation and known bugs.
Closes ticket 23684.
- Tor now has support for restarting in the same process.
Controllers that run Tor using the "tor_api.h" interface can now
restart Tor after Tor has exited. This support is incomplete,

all, but many bugs probably remain, including a possibility of
security issues. Implements ticket 24581.

microdescriptors. Now that the consensus contains IPv6 ORPorts, they
are redundant in microdescs. This change will be used by Tor clients
on 0.2.8.x and later. (That is to say, with all Tor clients that
have IPv6 bootstrap and guard support.) Implements ticket 23828.

2018-01-25 17:37:01 +01:00
- The control port now supports commands and events for v3 onion
services. It is now possible to create ephemeral v3 services using

ADD_ONION. Additionally, several events (HS_DESC, HS_DESC_CONTENT,
CIRC and CIRC_MINOR) and commands (GETINFO, HSPOST, ADD_ONION and
DEL_ONION) have been extended to support v3 onion services. Closes
ticket 20699; implements proposal 284.
o Major features (onion services):
- Provide torrc options to pin the second and third hops of onion
service circuits to a list of nodes. The option HSLayer2Guards
pins the second hop, and the option HSLayer3Guards pins the third
hop. These options are for use in conjunction with experiments

2018-01-24 23:08:13 +01:00
- Tor now ships with an optional implementation of one of its
smaller modules (protover.c) in the Rust programming language. To
try it out, install a Rust build environment, and configure Tor
with "--enable-rust --enable-cargo-online-mode". This should not
cause any user-visible changes, but should help us gain more
experience with Rust, and plan future Rust integration work.
Implementation by Chelsea Komlo. Closes ticket 22840.

o Major bugfixes (onion services, retry behavior):
Start on a changelog for 0.3.1.1-alpha
2018-01-24 23:08:13 +01:00
- Fix an "off by 2" error in counting rendezvous failures on the
onion service side. While we thought we would stop the rendezvous
attempt after one failed circuit, we were actually making three
circuit attempts before giving up. Now switch to a default of 2,
and allow the consensus parameter "hs_service_max_rdv_failures" to
override. Fixes bug 24895; bugfix on 0.0.6.
Light changelog relabeling and editing
2018-01-25 16:02:34 +01:00
- New-style (v3) onion services now obey the "max rendezvous circuit
attempts" logic. Previously they would make as many rendezvous
circuit attempts as they could fit in the MAX_REND_TIMEOUT second
window before giving up. Fixes bug 24894; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

2018-01-24 23:08:13 +01:00
o Major bugfixes (relays):
- Fix a set of false positives where relays would consider
connections to other relays as being client-only connections (and
thus e.g. deserving different link padding schemes) if those
relays fell out of the consensus briefly. Now we look only at the
initial handshake and whether the connection authenticated as a
relay. Fixes bug 24898; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor feature (IPv6):
- Make IPv6-only clients wait for microdescs for relays, even if we
were previously using descriptors (or were using them as a bridge)

o Minor features (cleanup):
- Tor now deletes the CookieAuthFile and ExtORPortCookieAuthFile
when it stops. Closes ticket 23271.
o Minor features (defensive programming):
- Most of the functions in Tor that free objects have been replaced
with macros that free the objects and set the corresponding
pointers to NULL. This change should help prevent a large class of
dangling pointer bugs. Closes ticket 24337.
- Where possible, the tor_free() macro now only evaluates its input
once. Part of ticket 24337.

created by the process that launched it. This feature is meant for
use by programs that want to launch and manage a Tor process
without allowing other programs to manage it as well. For more
information, see the __OwningControllerFD option documented in
control-spec.txt. Closes ticket 23900.
- On most errors that would cause Tor to exit, it now tries to
return from the tor_main() function, rather than calling the
system exit() function. Most users won't notice a difference here,

o Minor features (fallback directory list):
- Avoid selecting fallbacks that change their IP addresses too
often. Select more fallbacks by ignoring the Guard flag, and
allowing lower cutoffs for the Running and V2Dir flags. Also allow
a lower bandwidth, and a higher number of fallbacks per operator
(5% of the list). Implements ticket 24785.
- Update the fallback whitelist and blacklist based on opt-ins and
relay changes. Closes tickets 22321, 24678, 22527, 24135,
and 24695.

o Minor features (fallback directory mirror configuration):
Start on a changelog for 0.3.1.1-alpha
2018-01-24 23:08:13 +01:00
- Add a nickname to each fallback in a C comment. This makes it
easier for operators to find their relays, and allows stem to use
nicknames to identify fallbacks. Implements ticket 24600.
- Add a type and version header to the fallback directory mirror
file. Also add a delimiter to the end of each fallback entry. This
helps external parsers like stem and Relay Search. Implements
ticket 24725.
- Add an extrainfo cache flag for each fallback in a C comment. This
allows stem to use fallbacks to fetch extra-info documents, rather
than using authorities. Implements ticket 22759.
- Add the generateFallbackDirLine.py script for automatically
generating fallback directory mirror lines from relay fingerprints.
No more typos! Add the lookupFallbackDirContact.py script for
automatically looking up operator contact info from relay
fingerprints. Implements ticket 24706, patch by teor and atagar.
- Reject any fallback directory mirror that serves an expired
consensus. Implements ticket 20942, patch by "minik".
- Remove commas and equals signs from external string inputs to the
fallback list. This avoids format confusion attacks. Implements
ticket 24726.
- Remove the "weight=10" line from fallback directory mirror
entries. Ticket 24681 will maintain the current fallback weights
by changing Tor's default fallback weight to 10. Implements
ticket 24679.

o Minor features (forward-compatibility):
- If a relay supports some link authentication protocol that we do
not recognize, then include that relay's ed25519 key when telling
other relays to extend to it. Previously, we treated future
versions as if they were too old to support ed25519 link
authentication. Closes ticket 20895.
o Minor features (heartbeat):
- Add onion service information to our heartbeat logs, displaying
stats about the activity of configured onion services. Closes
ticket 24896.

Start on a changelog for 0.3.1.1-alpha
2018-01-24 23:08:13 +01:00
- Consider circuits for timeout as soon as they complete a hop. This
is more accurate than applying the timeout in
circuit_expire_building() because that function is only called
once per second, which is now too slow for typical timeouts on the
current network. Fixes bug 23114; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
- Use onion service circuits (and other circuits longer than 3 hops)
to calculate a circuit build timeout. Previously, Tor only
calculated its build timeout based on circuits that planned to be
exactly 3 hops long. With this change, we include measurements
from all circuits at the point where they complete their third
hop. Fixes bug 23100; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Give out Exit flags in bootstrapping networks. Fixes bug 24137;

- Rewrite channel_rsa_id_group_set_badness to reduce temporary
memory allocations with large numbers of OR connections (e.g.
relays). Closes ticket 24119.
- Separate the function that deletes ephemeral files when Tor
stops gracefully.
- Small changes to Tor's buf_t API to make it suitable for use as a
general-purpose safe string constructor. Closes ticket 22342.
- Switch -Wnormalized=id to -Wnormalized=nfkc in configure.ac to
avoid source code identifier confusion. Closes ticket 24467.
- The tor_git_revision[] constant no longer needs to be redeclared
by everything that links against the rest of Tor. Done as part of
ticket 23845, to simplify our external API.
- We make extend_info_from_node() use node_get_curve25519_onion_key()
introduced in ticket 23577 to access the curve25519 public keys
rather than accessing it directly. Closes ticket 23760. Patch by

2018-01-09 16:11:46 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.9 - 2018-01-09
Tor 0.3.2.9 is the first stable release in the 0.3.2 series.
The 0.3.2 series includes our long-anticipated new onion service
design, with numerous security features. (For more information, see
our blog post at https://blog.torproject.org/fall-harvest.) We also
have a new circuit scheduler algorithm for improved performance on
relays everywhere (see https://blog.torproject.org/kist-and-tell),
along with many smaller features and bugfixes.
Per our stable release policy, we plan to support each stable release
series for at least the next nine months, or for three months after
the first stable release of the next series: whichever is longer. If
you need a release with long-term support, we recommend that you stay
with the 0.2.9 series.
Below is a list of the changes since 0.3.2.8-rc. For a list of all
changes since 0.3.1, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Minor features (fallback directory mirrors):
- The fallback directory list has been re-generated based on the
current status of the network. Tor uses fallback directories to
bootstrap when it doesn't yet have up-to-date directory
information. Closes ticket 24801.
- Make the default DirAuthorityFallbackRate 0.1, so that clients
prefer to bootstrap from fallback directory mirrors. This is a
follow-up to 24679, which removed weights from the default
fallbacks. Implements ticket 24681.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 5 2018 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (address selection):
- When the fascist_firewall_choose_address_ functions don't find a
reachable address, set the returned address to the null address
and port. This is a precautionary measure, because some callers do
not check the return value. Fixes bug 24736; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Resolve a few shadowed-variable warnings in the onion service
code. Fixes bug 24634; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability, msvc):
- Fix a bug in the bit-counting parts of our timing-wheel code on
MSVC. (Note that MSVC is still not a supported build platform, due
more fixes for typos, grammar, whitespace, etc some of these ought to have been noticed by the "misspell" tool, so if anybody is debugging it, here are some bug reports :)
2018-02-07 18:22:29 +01:00
to cryptographic timing channel risks.) Fixes bug 24633; bugfix

forward-port the 0.3.2.8-rc changelog
2017-12-21 20:22:30 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.8-rc - 2017-12-21
Tor 0.3.2.8-rc fixes a pair of bugs in the KIST and KISTLite
schedulers that had led servers under heavy load to overload their
outgoing connections. All relay operators running earlier 0.3.2.x
versions should upgrade. This version also includes a mitigation for
over-full DESTROY queues leading to out-of-memory conditions: if it
works, we will soon backport it to earlier release series.
This is the second release candidate in the 0.3.2 series. If we find
no new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.2 release
will be nearly identical to this.
o Major bugfixes (KIST, scheduler):
- The KIST scheduler did not correctly account for data already
enqueued in each connection's send socket buffer, particularly in
cases when the TCP/IP congestion window was reduced between
scheduler calls. This situation lead to excessive per-connection
buffering in the kernel, and a potential memory DoS. Fixes bug
24665; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service v3):
- Bump hsdir_spread_store parameter from 3 to 4 in order to increase
the probability of reaching a service for a client missing
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 24425; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory usage):
- When queuing DESTROY cells on a channel, only queue the circuit-id
and reason fields: not the entire 514-byte cell. This fix should
help mitigate any bugs or attacks that fill up these queues, and
free more RAM for other uses. Fixes bug 24666; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST):
- Use a sane write limit for KISTLite when writing onto a connection
buffer instead of using INT_MAX and shoving as much as it can.
Because the OOM handler cleans up circuit queues, we are better
off at keeping them in that queue instead of the connection's
buffer. Fixes bug 24671; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
forward-port the 0.3.2.7-rc changelog
2017-12-14 20:07:04 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.7-rc - 2017-12-14
Tor 0.3.2.7-rc fixes various bugs in earlier versions of Tor,
including some that could affect reliability or correctness.
This is the first release candidate in the 0.3.2 series. If we find no
new bugs or regression here, then the first stable 0.3.2. release will
be nearly identical to this.
o Major bugfixes (circuit prediction):
- Fix circuit prediction logic so that a client doesn't treat a port
as being "handled" by a circuit if that circuit already has
isolation settings on it. This change should make Tor clients more
responsive by improving their chances of having a pre-created
circuit ready for use when a request arrives. Fixes bug 18859;
bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
o Minor features (logging):
- Provide better warnings when the getrandom() syscall fails. Closes
ticket 24500.
o Minor features (portability):
- Tor now compiles correctly on arm64 with libseccomp-dev installed.
(It doesn't yet work with the sandbox enabled.) Closes
ticket 24424.
o Minor bugfixes (bridge clients, bootstrap):
- Retry directory downloads when we get our first bridge descriptor
during bootstrap or while reconnecting to the network. Keep
retrying every time we get a bridge descriptor, until we have a
reachable bridge. Fixes part of bug 24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Stop delaying bridge descriptor fetches when we have cached bridge
descriptors. Instead, only delay bridge descriptor fetches when we
have at least one reachable bridge. Fixes part of bug 24367;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Stop delaying directory fetches when we have cached bridge
descriptors. Instead, only delay bridge descriptor fetches when
all our bridges are definitely unreachable. Fixes part of bug
24367; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a signed/unsigned comparison warning introduced by our fix to
TROVE-2017-009. Fixes bug 24480; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
- Fix several places in our codebase where a C compiler would be
likely to eliminate a check, based on assuming that undefined
behavior had not happened elsewhere in the code. These cases are
usually a sign of redundant checking or dubious arithmetic. Found
by Georg Koppen using the "STACK" tool from Wang, Zeldovich,
Kaashoek, and Solar-Lezama. Fixes bug 24423; bugfix on various
Tor versions.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3):
- Fix a race where an onion service would launch a new intro circuit
after closing an old one, but fail to register it before freeing
the previously closed circuit. This bug was making the service
unable to find the established intro circuit and thus not upload
its descriptor, thus making a service unavailable for up to 24
hours. Fixes bug 23603; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (scheduler, KIST):
- Properly set the scheduler state of an unopened channel in the
KIST scheduler main loop. This prevents a harmless but annoying
log warning. Fixes bug 24502; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha.
- Avoid a possible integer overflow when computing the available
space on the TCP buffer of a channel. This had no security
implications; but could make KIST allow too many cells on a
saturated connection. Fixes bug 24590; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Downgrade to "info" a harmless warning about the monotonic time
moving backwards: This can happen on platform not supporting
monotonic time. Fixes bug 23696; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

2017-12-01 15:16:15 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.6-alpha - 2017-12-01
This version of Tor is the latest in the 0.3.2 alpha series. It
includes fixes for several important security issues. All Tor users
should upgrade to this release, or to one of the other releases coming
out today.
o Major bugfixes (security):
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
- Fix a denial of service issue where an attacker could crash a
directory authority using a malformed router descriptor. Fixes bug
24245; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-010
and CVE-2017-8820.
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
and CVE-2017-8819.
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2):
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
o Major bugfixes (security, relay):
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path
through ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the
version of our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part
of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never choose ourselves
as a guard. Fixes part of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This
issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
o Minor feature (relay statistics):
- Change relay bandwidth reporting stats interval from 4 hours to 24
hours in order to reduce the efficiency of guard discovery
attacks. Fixes ticket 23856.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
ticket 24394.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- By default, do not enable storage of client-side DNS values. These
values were unused by default previously, but they should not have
been cached at all. Fixes bug 24050; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.1.9 - 2017-12-01:
Tor 0.3.1.9 backports important security and stability fixes from the
0.3.2 development series. All Tor users should upgrade to this
release, or to another of the releases coming out today.
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.

directory authority using a malformed router descriptor. Fixes bug
24245; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-010
and CVE-2017-8820.

- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.

- When running as a relay, make sure that we never choose ourselves
as a guard. Fixes part of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. This
issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
o Major bugfixes (exit relays, DNS, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- Fix an issue causing DNS to fail on high-bandwidth exit nodes,
making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for
identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz,
Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and
analyze it.
o Minor features (bridge):
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
or later.
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
ticket 24394.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
relays, to prevent spurious address resolutions and descriptor
rebuilds. This is a mitigation for bug 21789. Fixes bug 23470;
bugfix on in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Fix unused variable warnings in donna's Curve25519 SSE2 code.
Fixes bug 22895; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (onion service, backport from 0.3.2.5-alpha):
- Rename the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to "hsdir_interval"
so it matches dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
"public server" mode changed, but not when our "server" mode
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.0.13 - 2017-12-01
Tor 0.3.0.13 backports important security and stability bugfixes from
later Tor releases. All Tor users should upgrade to this release, or
to another of the releases coming out today.
Note: the Tor 0.3.0 series will no longer be supported after 26 Jan
2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please stick with
the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.

o Minor features (security, windows, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
(HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
(PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.

making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for
identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz,
Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and
analyze it.
o Major bugfixes (security, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Fix a denial of service bug where an attacker could use a
malformed directory object to cause a Tor instance to pause while
OpenSSL would try to read a passphrase from the terminal. (Tor
instances run without a terminal, which is the case for most Tor
packages, are not impacted.) Fixes bug 24246; bugfix on every
version of Tor. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-011 and CVE-2017-8821.
Found by OSS-Fuzz as testcase 6360145429790720.
- Fix a denial of service issue where an attacker could crash a
directory authority using a malformed router descriptor. Fixes bug
24245; bugfix on 0.2.9.4-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-010
and CVE-2017-8820.
- When checking for replays in the INTRODUCE1 cell data for a
(legacy) onion service, correctly detect replays in the RSA-
encrypted part of the cell. We were previously checking for
replays on the entire cell, but those can be circumvented due to
the malleability of Tor's legacy hybrid encryption. This fix helps
prevent a traffic confirmation attack. Fixes bug 24244; bugfix on
0.2.4.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2017-009
and CVE-2017-8819.
o Major bugfixes (security, onion service v2, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Fix a use-after-free error that could crash v2 Tor onion services
when they failed to open circuits while expiring introduction
points. Fixes bug 24313; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This issue is
also tracked as TROVE-2017-013 and CVE-2017-8823.
o Major bugfixes (security, relay, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- When running as a relay, make sure that we never build a path
through ourselves, even in the case where we have somehow lost the
version of our descriptor appearing in the consensus. Fixes part
of bug 21534; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. This issue is also tracked
as TROVE-2017-012 and CVE-2017-8822.
o Minor features (bridge, backport from 0.3.1.9):
- Bridges now include notice in their descriptors that they are
bridges, and notice of their distribution status, based on their
publication settings. Implements ticket 18329. For more fine-
grained control of how a bridge is distributed, upgrade to 0.3.2.x
or later.
o Minor features (directory authority, backport from 0.3.2.6-alpha):
- Add an IPv6 address for the "bastet" directory authority. Closes
ticket 24394.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (security, windows, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
(HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7; and one
(PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.
o Minor bugfix (relay address resolution, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Avoid unnecessary calls to directory_fetches_from_authorities() on
relays, to prevent spurious address resolutions and descriptor
rebuilds. This is a mitigation for bug 21789. Fixes bug 23470;
bugfix on in 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.2.1-alpha):
- Fix unused variable warnings in donna's Curve25519 SSE2 code.
Fixes bug 22895; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash, backport from 0.3.2.4-alpha):
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
"public server" mode changed, but not when our "server" mode
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
- Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;
bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Found and patched by Ties Stuij.

forwardport a changelog
2017-11-22 14:27:35 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.5-alpha - 2017-11-22
Tor 0.3.2.5-alpha is the fifth alpha release in the 0.3.2.x series. It
fixes several stability and reliability bugs, including a fix for
intermittent bootstrapping failures that some people have been seeing
since the 0.3.0.x series.
Please test this alpha out -- many of these fixes will soon be
backported to stable Tor versions if no additional bugs are found
in them.
o Major bugfixes (bootstrapping):
- Fetch descriptors aggressively whenever we lack enough to build
circuits, regardless of how many descriptors we are missing.
Previously, we would delay launching the fetch when we had fewer
than 15 missing descriptors, even if some of those descriptors
were blocking circuits from building. Fixes bug 23985; bugfix on
0.1.1.11-alpha. The effects of this bug became worse in
0.3.0.3-alpha, when we began treating missing descriptors from our
primary guards as a reason to delay circuits.
- Don't try fetching microdescriptors from relays that have failed
to deliver them in the past. Fixes bug 23817; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Make the "Exit" flag assignment only depend on whether the exit
policy allows connections to ports 80 and 443. Previously relays
would get the Exit flag if they allowed connections to one of
these ports and also port 6667. Resolves ticket 23637.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Update the sandbox rules so that they should now work correctly
with Glibc 2.26. Closes ticket 24315.
o Minor features (logging):
- Downgrade a pair of log messages that could occur when an exit's
resolver gave us an unusual (but not forbidden) response. Closes
ticket 24097.
- Improve the message we log when re-enabling circuit build timeouts
after having received a consensus. Closes ticket 20963.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a memory leak warning in one of the libevent-related
configuration tests that could occur when manually specifying
-fsanitize=address. Fixes bug 24279; bugfix on 0.3.0.2-alpha.
Found and patched by Alex Xu.
- When detecting OpenSSL on Windows from our configure script, make
sure to try linking with the ws2_32 library. Fixes bug 23783;
bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (control port, linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Avoid a crash when attempting to use the seccomp2 sandbox together
with the OwningControllerProcess feature. Fixes bug 24198; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (control port, onion services):
- Report "FAILED" instead of "UPLOAD_FAILED" "FAILED" for the
HS_DESC event when a service is not able to upload a descriptor.
Fixes bug 24230; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory cache):
- Recover better from empty or corrupt files in the consensus cache
directory. Fixes bug 24099; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When a consensus diff calculation is only partially successful,
only record the successful parts as having succeeded. Partial
success can happen if (for example) one compression method fails
but the others succeed. Previously we misrecorded all the
calculations as having succeeded, which would later cause a
nonfatal assertion failure. Fixes bug 24086; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Only log once if we notice that KIST support is gone. Fixes bug
24158; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Suppress a log notice when relay descriptors arrive. We already
have a bootstrap progress for this so no need to log notice
everytime tor receives relay descriptors. Microdescriptors behave
the same. Fixes bug 23861; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (network layer):
- When closing a connection via close_connection_immediately(), we
mark it as "not blocked on bandwidth", to prevent later calls from
trying to unblock it, and give it permission to read. This fixes a
backtrace warning that can happen on relays under various
circumstances. Fixes bug 24167; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- The introduction circuit was being timed out too quickly while
waiting for the rendezvous circuit to complete. Keep the intro
circuit around longer instead of timing out and reopening new ones
constantly. Fixes bug 23681; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Rename the consensus parameter "hsdir-interval" to "hsdir_interval"
so it matches dir-spec.txt. Fixes bug 24262; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- Silence a warning about failed v3 onion descriptor uploads that
can happen naturally under certain edge cases. Fixes part of bug
23662; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (tests):
- Fix a memory leak in one of the bridge-distribution test cases.
Fixes bug 24345; bugfix on 0.3.2.3-alpha.
- Fix a bug in our fuzzing mock replacement for crypto_pk_checksig(),
to correctly handle cases where a caller gives it an RSA key of
under 160 bits. (This is not actually a bug in Tor itself, but
rather in our fuzzing code.) Fixes bug 24247; bugfix on
0.3.0.3-alpha. Found by OSS-Fuzz as issue 4177.
o Documentation:
- Add notes in man page regarding OS support for the various
scheduler types. Attempt to use less jargon in the scheduler
section. Closes ticket 24254.

2017-11-08 22:45:34 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.4-alpha - 2017-11-08
Tor 0.3.2.4-alpha is the fourth alpha release in the 0.3.2.x series.
It fixes several stability and reliability bugs, especially including
a major reliability issue that has been plaguing fast exit relays in
recent months.
o Major bugfixes (exit relays, DNS):
- Fix an issue causing DNS to fail on high-bandwidth exit nodes,
making them nearly unusable. Fixes bugs 21394 and 18580; bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha, which introduced eventdns. Thanks to Dhalgren for
identifying and finding a workaround to this bug and to Moritz,
Arthur Edelstein, and Roger for helping to track it down and
analyze it.
o Major bugfixes (scheduler, channel):
- Stop processing scheduled channels if they closed while flushing
cells. This can happen if the write on the connection fails
leading to the channel being closed while in the scheduler loop.
Fixes bug 23751; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor features (logging, scheduler):
- Introduce a SCHED_BUG() function to log extra information about
the scheduler state if we ever catch a bug in the scheduler.
Closes ticket 23753.
o Minor features (removed deprecations):
- The ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses flag can once again be set in
non-testing Tor networks, so long as they do not use the default
directory authorities. This change also removes the deprecation of
this flag from 0.2.9.2-alpha. Closes ticket 21031.
o Minor features (testing):
- Our fuzzing tests now test the encrypted portions of v3 onion
service descriptors. Implements more of 21509.
o Minor bugfixes (directory client):
- On failure to download directory information, delay retry attempts
by a random amount based on the "decorrelated jitter" algorithm.
Our previous delay algorithm tended to produce extra-long delays
too easily. Fixes bug 23816; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, v3 single onion services):
- Remove buggy code for IPv6-only v3 single onion services, and
reject attempts to configure them. This release supports IPv4,
dual-stack, and IPv6-only v3 onion services; and IPv4 and dual-
stack v3 single onion services. Fixes bug 23820; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
- Give only a protocol warning when the ed25519 key is not
consistent between the descriptor and microdescriptor of a relay.
This can happen, for instance, if the relay has been flagged
NoEdConsensus. Fixes bug 24025; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (manpage, onion service):
- Document that the HiddenServiceNumIntroductionPoints option is
0-10 for v2 services and 0-20 for v3 services. Fixes bug 24115;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
- Fix a minor memory leak at exit in the KIST scheduler. This bug
should have no user-visible impact. Fixes bug 23774; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak when decrypting a badly formatted v3 onion
service descriptor. Fixes bug 24150; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
Found by OSS-Fuzz; this is OSS-Fuzz issue 3994.
o Minor bugfixes (onion services):
- Cache some needed onion service client information instead of
constantly computing it over and over again. Fixes bug 23623;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Properly retry HSv3 descriptor fetches when missing required
directory information. Fixes bug 23762; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (path selection):
- When selecting relays by bandwidth, avoid a rounding error that
could sometimes cause load to be imbalanced incorrectly.
Previously, we would always round upwards; now, we round towards
the nearest integer. This had the biggest effect when a relay's
weight adjustments should have given it weight 0, but it got
weight 1 instead. Fixes bug 23318; bugfix on 0.2.4.3-alpha.
- When calculating the fraction of nodes that have descriptors, and
all nodes in the network have zero bandwidths, count the number of
nodes instead. Fixes bug 23318; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
- Actually log the total bandwidth in compute_weighted_bandwidths().
Fixes bug 24170; bugfix on 0.2.4.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, crash):
- Avoid a crash when transitioning from client mode to bridge mode.
Previously, we would launch the worker threads whenever our
"public server" mode changed, but not when our "server" mode
changed. Fixes bug 23693; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Fix a spurious fuzzing-only use of an uninitialized value. Found
by Brian Carpenter. Fixes bug 24082; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
- Test that IPv6-only clients can use microdescriptors when running
"make test-network-all". Requires chutney master 61c28b9 or later.
Closes ticket 24109.

2017-10-27 18:36:14 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.2.3-alpha - 2017-10-27
Tor 0.3.2.3-alpha is the third release in the 0.3.2 series. It fixes
numerous small bugs in earlier versions of 0.3.2.x, and adds a new
directory authority, Bastet.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
Closes ticket 23910.
- The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
Closes ticket 23592.
o Minor features (bridge):
- Bridge relays can now set the BridgeDistribution config option to
add a "bridge-distribution-request" line to their bridge
descriptor, which tells BridgeDB how they'd like their bridge
address to be given out. (Note that as of Oct 2017, BridgeDB does
not yet implement this feature.) As a side benefit, this feature
provides a way to distinguish bridge descriptors from non-bridge
descriptors. Implements tickets 18329.
o Minor features (client, entry guards):
- Improve log messages when missing descriptors for primary guards.
Resolves ticket 23670.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (bridge):
- Overwrite the bridge address earlier in the process of retrieving
its descriptor, to make sure we reach it on the configured
address. Fixes bug 20532; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Document better how to read gcov, and what our gcov postprocessing
scripts do. Fixes bug 23739; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (entry guards):
- Tor now updates its guard state when it reads a consensus
regardless of whether it's missing descriptors. That makes tor use
its primary guards to fetch descriptors in some edge cases where
it would previously have used fallback directories. Fixes bug
23862; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service client):
- When handling multiple SOCKS request for the same .onion address,
only fetch the service descriptor once.
- When a descriptor fetch fails with a non-recoverable error, close
all pending SOCKS requests for that .onion. Fixes bug 23653;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Always regenerate missing hidden service public key files. Prior
to this, if the public key was deleted from disk, it wouldn't get
recreated. Fixes bug 23748; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha. Patch
from "cathugger".
- Make sure that we have a usable ed25519 key when the intro point
relay supports ed25519 link authentication. Fixes bug 24002;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, v2):
- When reloading configured hidden services, copy all information
from the old service object. Previously, some data was omitted,
causing delays in descriptor upload, and other bugs. Fixes bug
23790; bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, defensive programming):
- Clear the target address when node_get_prim_orport() returns
early. Fixes bug 23874; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Avoid a BUG warning when receiving a dubious CREATE cell while an
option transition is in progress. Fixes bug 23952; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Adjust the GitLab CI configuration to more closely match that of
Travis CI. Fixes bug 23757; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
- Prevent scripts/test/coverage from attempting to move gcov output
to the root directory. Fixes bug 23741; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- When running unit tests as root, skip a test that would fail
because it expects a permissions error. This affects some
continuous integration setups. Fixes bug 23758; bugfix
on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
- Stop unconditionally mirroring the tor repository in GitLab CI.
This prevented developers from enabling GitLab CI on master. Fixes
bug 23755; bugfix on 0.3.2.2-alpha.
- Fix the hidden service v3 descriptor decoding fuzzing to use the
latest decoding API correctly. Fixes bug 21509; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (warnings):
- When we get an HTTP request on a SOCKS port, tell the user about
the new HTTPTunnelPort option. Previously, we would give a "Tor is
not an HTTP Proxy" message, which stopped being true when
HTTPTunnelPort was introduced. Fixes bug 23678; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.

Changes in version 0.2.5.15 - 2017-10-25
Tor 0.2.5.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
series. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
Note: the Tor 0.2.5 series will no longer be supported after 1 May
2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please upgrade to
the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
Closes ticket 23910.
- The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
Closes ticket 23592.
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
Changes in version 0.2.8.16 - 2017-10-25
Tor 0.2.8.16 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
series, including a bugfix for a crash issue that had affected relays
under memory pressure. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
Note: the Tor 0.2.8 series will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
2018. If you need a release with long-term support, please stick with
the 0.2.9 series. Otherwise, please upgrade to 0.3.1 or later.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
Closes ticket 23910.
- The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.
Closes ticket 23592.
o Major bugfixes (relay, crash, assertion failure, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Fix a timing-based assertion failure that could occur when the
circuit out-of-memory handler freed a connection's output buffer.
Fixes bug 23690; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Remove longclaw's IPv6 address, as it will soon change. Authority
IPv6 addresses were originally added in 0.2.8.1-alpha. This leaves
3/8 directory authorities with IPv6 addresses, but there are also
52 fallback directory mirrors with IPv6 addresses. Resolves 19760.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.9.13 - 2017-10-25
Tor 0.2.9.13 backports a collection of bugfixes from later Tor release
series, including a bugfix for a crash issue that had affected relays
under memory pressure. It also adds a new directory authority, Bastet.
o Directory authority changes:
- Add "Bastet" as a ninth directory authority to the default list.
Closes ticket 23910.
- The directory authority "Longclaw" has changed its IP address.

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- When a directory authority rejects a descriptor or extrainfo with
a given digest, mark that digest as undownloadable, so that we do
not attempt to download it again over and over. We previously
tried to avoid downloading such descriptors by other means, but we
didn't notice if we accidentally downloaded one anyway. This
behavior became problematic in 0.2.7.2-alpha, when authorities
began pinning Ed25519 keys. Fixes bug 22349; bugfix
on 0.2.1.19-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, backport from 0.3.2.3-alpha):
- Clear the address when node_get_prim_orport() returns early.
Fixes bug 23874; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows service, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
- When running as a Windows service, set the ID of the main thread
correctly. Failure to do so made us fail to send log messages to
the controller in 0.2.1.16-rc, slowed down controller event
delivery in 0.2.7.3-rc and later, and crash with an assertion
failure in 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fixes bug 23081; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, relay, backport from 0.3.2.2-alpha):
- Avoid a possible double close of a circuit by the intro point on
error of sending the INTRO_ESTABLISHED cell. Fixes bug 23610;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory safety, backport from 0.3.2.3-alpha):

2017-09-29 10:15:27 +02:00
release fixes several minor bugs in the new scheduler and next-
generation onion services; both features were newly added in the 0.3.2
series. Other fixes in this alpha include several fixes for non-fatal
tracebacks which would appear in logs.
With the aim to stabilise the 0.3.2 series by 15 December 2017, this
alpha does not contain any substantial new features. Minor features
include better testing and logging.
The following comprises the complete list of changes included

- Fix a timing-based assertion failure that could occur when the
circuit out-of-memory handler freed a connection's output buffer.
Fixes bug 23690; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (scheduler):
- If a channel is put into the scheduler's pending list, then it
starts closing, and then if the scheduler runs before it finishes
closing, the scheduler will get stuck trying to flush its cells
while the lower layers refuse to cooperate. Fix that race

2017-09-29 10:15:27 +02:00
o Minor features (build, compilation):
- The "check-changes" feature is now part of the "make check" tests;
we'll use it to try to prevent misformed changes files from
accumulating. Closes ticket 23564.
- Tor builds should now fail if there are any mismatches between the
C type representing a configuration variable and the C type the
data-driven parser uses to store a value there. Previously, we
needed to check these by hand, which sometimes led to mistakes.
Closes ticket 23643.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Remove longclaw's IPv6 address, as it will soon change. Authority
IPv6 addresses were originally added in 0.2.8.1-alpha. This leaves
3/8 directory authorities with IPv6 addresses, but there are also
52 fallback directory mirrors with IPv6 addresses. Resolves 19760.
o Minor features (hidden service, circuit, logging):
- Improve logging of many callsite in the circuit subsystem to print
the circuit identifier(s).
- Log when we cleanup an intro point from a service so we know when
and for what reason it happened. Closes ticket 23604.
o Minor features (logging):
- Log more circuit information whenever we are about to try to
package a relay cell on a circuit with a nonexistent n_chan.
Attempt to diagnose ticket 8185.
- Improve info-level log identification of particular circuits, to
help with debugging. Closes ticket 23645.
o Minor features (relay):
- When choosing which circuits can be expired as unused, consider
circuits from clients even if those clients used regular CREATE
cells to make them; and do not consider circuits from relays even
if they were made with CREATE_FAST. Part of ticket 22805.
o Minor features (robustness):
- Change several fatal assertions when flushing buffers into non-
fatal assertions, to prevent any recurrence of 23690.
o Minor features (spec conformance, bridge, diagnostic):
- When handling the USERADDR command on an ExtOrPort, warn when the
transports provides a USERADDR with no port. In a future version,
USERADDR commands of this format may be rejected. Detects problems
related to ticket 23080.
o Minor features (testing):
- Add a unit test to make sure that our own generated platform
string will be accepted by directory authorities. Closes
ticket 22109.
o Minor bugfixes (bootstrapping):
- When warning about state file clock skew, report the correct
direction for the detected skew. Fixes bug 23606; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Avoid an assertion failure when logging a state file clock skew
very early in bootstrapping. Fixes bug 23607; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (build, compilation):
- Fix a compilation warning when building with zstd support on
32-bit platforms. Fixes bug 23568; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. Found
and fixed by Andreas Stieger.
- When searching for OpenSSL, don't accept any OpenSSL library that
lacks TLSv1_1_method(): Tor doesn't build with those versions.
Additionally, look in /usr/local/opt/openssl, if it's present.
These changes together repair the default build on OSX systems
with Homebrew installed. Fixes bug 23602; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compression):
- Handle a pathological case when decompressing Zstandard data when
the output buffer size is zero. Fixes bug 23551; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Fix manpage to not refer to the obsolete (and misspelled)
UseEntryGuardsAsDirectoryGuards parameter in the description of
NumDirectoryGuards. Fixes bug 23611; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service v3):
- Don't log an assertion failure when we can't find the right
information to extend to an introduction point. In rare cases,
this could happen, causing a warning, even though tor would
recover gracefully. Fixes bug 23159; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Pad RENDEZVOUS cell up to the size of the legacy cell which is
much bigger so the rendezvous point can't distinguish which hidden
service protocol is being used. Fixes bug 23420; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, relay):
- Avoid a possible double close of a circuit by the intro point on
error of sending the INTRO_ESTABLISHED cell. Fixes bug 23610;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay shutdown, annoyance):
- When a circuit is marked for close, do not attempt to package any
cells for channels on that circuit. Previously, we would detect
this condition lower in the call stack, when we noticed that the
circuit had no attached channel, and log an annoying message.
Fixes bug 8185; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (scheduler):
- When switching schedulers due to a consensus change, we didn't
give the new scheduler a chance to react to the consensus. Fix

ChangeLog additions for 0.3.2.2-alpha.
2017-09-29 10:15:27 +02:00
- Make the KISTSchedRunInterval option a non negative value. With
this, the way to disable KIST through the consensus is to set it
to 0. Fixes bug 23539; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Only notice log the selected scheduler when we switch scheduler
types. Fixes bug 23552; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Avoid a compilation warning on macOS in scheduler_ev_add() caused
by a different tv_usec data type. Fixes bug 23575; bugfix
on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Make a hard exit if tor is unable to pick a scheduler which can
happen if the user specifies a scheduler type that is not
supported and not other types in Schedulers. Fixes bug 23581;
bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Properly initialize the scheduler last run time counter so it is
not 0 at the first tick. Fixes bug 23696; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Capture and detect several "Result does not fit" warnings in unit
tests on platforms with 32-bit time_t. Fixes bug 21800; bugfix
on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
- Fix additional channelpadding unit test failures by using mocked
time instead of actual time for all tests. Fixes bug 23608; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- The removal of some old scheduler options caused some tests to
fail on BSD systems. Assume current behavior is correct and make
the tests pass again. Fixes bug 23566; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Remove various ways of testing circuits and connections for
"clientness"; instead, favor channel_is_client(). Part of
ticket 22805.
o Deprecated features:
- The ReachableDirAddresses and ClientPreferIPv6DirPort options are
now deprecated; they do not apply to relays, and they have had no
effect on clients since 0.2.8.x. Closes ticket 19704.
o Documentation:
- HiddenServiceVersion man page entry wasn't mentioning the now
supported version 3. Fixes ticket 23580; bugfix on 0.3.2.1-alpha.
- Clarify that the Address option is entirely about setting an
advertised IPv4 address. Closes ticket 18891.
- Clarify the manpage's use of the term "address" to clarify what
kind of address is intended. Closes ticket 21405.
- Document that onion service subdomains are allowed, and ignored.
Closes ticket 18736.

Below are the changes since Tor 0.3.1.7.
o Major feature (scheduler, channel):
Try to clarify that KIST helps relays.
2017-09-18 18:25:13 +02:00
- Tor now uses new schedulers to decide which circuits should
deliver cells first, in order to improve congestion at relays. The
first type is called "KIST" ("Kernel Informed Socket Transport"),
and is only available on Linux-like systems: it uses feedback from
the kernel to prevent the kernel's TCP buffers from growing too
full. The second new scheduler type is called "KISTLite": it
behaves the same as KIST, but runs on systems without kernel
support for inspecting TCP implementation details. The old
scheduler is still available, under the name "Vanilla". To change
the default scheduler preference order, use the new "Schedulers"
option. (The default preference order is "KIST,KISTLite,Vanilla".)

Matt Traudt implemented KIST, based on research by Rob Jansen,
John Geddes, Christ Wacek, Micah Sherr, and Paul Syverson. For
more information, see the design paper at
http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/kist-sec2014.pdf and the
followup implementation paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01044.

onion services ("v3") features many improvements over the legacy
system, including:
a) Better crypto (replaced SHA1/DH/RSA1024
with SHA3/ed25519/curve25519)
b) Improved directory protocol, leaking much less information to
directory servers.
c) Improved directory protocol, with smaller surface for
targeted attacks.
d) Better onion address security against impersonation.
e) More extensible introduction/rendezvous protocol.
f) A cleaner and more modular codebase.
You can identify a next-generation onion address by its length:

In the future, we will release more options and features for v3
onion services, but we first need a testing period, so that the
current codebase matures and becomes more robust. Planned features
include: offline keys, advanced client authorization, improved
guard algorithms, and statistics. For full details, see

the current signing key is going to expire. Implements ticket
17639; patch by Isis Lovecruft.
o Minor features (control port):
revision pass on the rest of the changelog
2017-09-18 17:52:27 +02:00
- If an application tries to use the control port as an HTTP proxy,
respond with a meaningful "This is the Tor control port" message,
and log the event. Closes ticket 1667. Patch from Ravi
Chandra Padmala.
- Provide better error message for GETINFO desc/(id|name) when not
fetching router descriptors. Closes ticket 5847. Patch by
Kevin Butler.
- Add GETINFO "{desc,md}/download-enabled", to inform the controller
whether Tor will try to download router descriptors and
microdescriptors respectively. Closes ticket 22684.
- Added new GETINFO targets "ip-to-country/{ipv4,ipv6}-available",
so controllers can tell whether the geoip databases are loaded.

events. Closes ticket 19254. Patch by "DonnchaC".
o Minor features (development support):
- Developers can now generate a call-graph for Tor using the
"calltool" python program, which post-processes object dumps. It
should work okay on many Linux and OSX platforms, and might work

programs. When this option is set to 1, Tor will never try to run
another program, regardless of the settings of
PortForwardingHelper, ClientTransportPlugin, or
ServerTransportPlugin. Once NoExec is set, it cannot be disabled
without restarting Tor. Closes ticket 22976.

part of the Tor network design, which it isn't. Closes

- Check at configure time whether uint8_t is the same type as
unsigned char. Lots of existing code already makes this
assumption, and there could be strict aliasing issues if the
assumption is violated. Closes ticket 22410.

o Minor features (relay, configuration):
- Reject attempts to use relative file paths when RunAsDaemon is
set. Previously, Tor would accept these, but the directory-
changing step of RunAsDaemon would give strange and/or confusing
results. Closes ticket 22731.
o Minor features (startup, safety):
- When configured to write a PID file, Tor now exits if it is unable
to do so. Previously, it would warn and continue. Closes
ticket 20119.
o Minor features (static analysis):
- The BUG() macro has been changed slightly so that Coverity no
longer complains about dead code if the bug is impossible. Closes
ticket 23054.
o Minor features (testing):

service descriptor. Closes ticket 15554.
o Minor bugfixes (certificate handling):
- Fix a time handling bug in Tor certificates set to expire after
the year 2106. Fixes bug 23055; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Found by
Coverity as CID 1415728.
o Minor bugfixes (client, usability):
- Refrain from needlessly rejecting SOCKS5-with-hostnames and
SOCKS4a requests that contain IP address strings, even when
SafeSocks in enabled, as this prevents user from connecting to
known IP addresses without relying on DNS for resolving. SafeSocks
still rejects SOCKS connections that connect to IP addresses when
those addresses are _not_ encoded as hostnames. Fixes bug 22461;
bugfix on Tor 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness):
- Call htons() in extend_cell_format() for encoding a 16-bit value.
Previously we used ntohs(), which happens to behave the same on
all the platforms we support, but which isn't really correct.

o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Remove duplicate log messages regarding opening non-local
SocksPorts upon parsing config and opening listeners at startup.

- Use a more comprehensible log message when telling the user
they've excluded every running exit node. Fixes bug 7890; bugfix

- When warning about a directory owned by the wrong user, log the
actual name of the user owning the directory. Previously, we'd log
the name of the process owner twice. Fixes bug 23487; bugfix

forward-port changelogs and release notes for 0.2.8.15, 0.2.9.12, 0.3.0.11, 0.3.1.7
2017-09-18 16:11:15 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.15 - 2017-09-18
Tor 0.2.8.15 backports a collection of bugfixes from later
Tor series.
Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
security bug that affects hidden services running with the
SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
Note that Tor 0.2.8.x will no longer be supported after 1 Jan
2018. We suggest that you upgrade to the latest stable release if
possible. If you can't, we recommend that you upgrade at least to
0.2.9, which will be supported until 2020.
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
Changes in version 0.2.9.12 - 2017-09-18
Tor 0.2.9.12 backports a collection of bugfixes from later
Tor series.
Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
security bug that affects hidden services running with the
SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
o Major features (security, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
- Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server
side, to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the
DefecTor attack of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and
Feamster. Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
values, and clients are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3
hours long. Closes ticket 19769.
o Major bugfixes (crash, directory connections, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
- Fix a rare crash when sending a begin cell on a circuit whose
linked directory connection had already been closed. Fixes bug
21576; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
o Major bugfixes (DNS, backport from 0.3.0.2-alpha):
- Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for
more than 60 seconds. Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
handling of "0xx" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug 22915;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt support
on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When building with certain versions the mingw C header files, avoid
float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions isfinite(),
isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for running tor_sscanf()
with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an
empty body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, undefined behavior, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.3.0.5-rc):
- Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Build features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
Changes in version 0.3.0.11 - 2017-09-18
Tor 0.3.0.11 backports a collection of bugfixes from Tor the 0.3.1
series.
Most significantly, it includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a
security bug that affects hidden services running with the
SafeLogging option disabled. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
o Minor features (code style, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.3.1.7):
- Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay, backport from 0.3.1.6-rc):
- Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
a client.
- Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
Changes in version 0.3.1.7 - 2017-09-18
Tor 0.3.1.7 is the first stable release in the 0.3.1 series.
With the 0.3.1 series, Tor now serves and downloads directory
information in more compact formats, to save on bandwidth overhead. It
also contains a new padding system to resist netflow-based traffic
analysis, and experimental support for building parts of Tor in Rust
(though no parts of Tor are in Rust yet). There are also numerous
small features, bugfixes on earlier release series, and groundwork for
the hidden services revamp of 0.3.2.
This release also includes a fix for TROVE-2017-008, a security bug
that affects hidden services running with the SafeLogging option
disabled. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23490
Per our stable release policy, we plan to support each stable release
series for at least the next nine months, or for three months after
the first stable release of the next series: whichever is longer. If
you need a release with long-term support, we recommend that you stay
with the 0.2.9 series.
Below is a list of the changes since 0.3.1.6-rc. For a list of all
changes since 0.3.0, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Major bugfixes (security, hidden services, loggging):
- Fix a bug where we could log uninitialized stack when a certain
hidden service error occurred while SafeLogging was disabled.
Fixes bug #23490; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. This is also tracked as
TROVE-2017-008 and CVE-2017-0380.
o Minor features (defensive programming):
- Create a pair of consensus parameters, nf_pad_tor2web and
nf_pad_single_onion, to disable netflow padding in the consensus
for non-anonymous connections in case the overhead is high. Closes
ticket 17857.
o Minor features (diagnostic):
- Add a stack trace to the bug warnings that can be logged when
trying to send an outgoing relay cell with n_chan == 0. Diagnostic
attempt for bug 23105.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the September 6 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Avoid compiler warnings in the unit tests for calling tor_sscanf()
with wide string outputs. Fixes bug 15582; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Do not crash when receiving a HSPOST command with an empty body.
Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
- Do not crash when receiving a POSTDESCRIPTOR command with an empty
body. Fixes part of bug 22644; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Inform the geoip and rephist modules about all requests, even on
relays that are only fetching microdescriptors. Fixes a bug
related to 21585; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- Fix a channelpadding unit test failure on slow systems by using
mocked time instead of actual time. Fixes bug 23077; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
forward-port the 0.3.1.6-rc changelog
2017-09-05 16:19:49 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.1.6-rc - 2017-09-05
Tor 0.3.1.6-rc fixes a few small bugs and annoyances in the 0.3.1
release series, including a bug that produced weird behavior on
Windows directory caches.
This is the first release candidate in the Tor 0.3.1 series. If we
find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.3.1 release
will be nearly identical to it.
o Major bugfixes (windows, directory cache):
- On Windows, do not try to delete cached consensus documents and
diffs before they are unmapped from memory--Windows won't allow
that. Instead, allow the consensus cache directory to grow larger,
to hold files that might need to stay around longer. Fixes bug
22752; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Improve the message that authorities report to relays that present
RSA/Ed25519 keypairs that conflict with previously pinned keys.
Closes ticket 22348.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 3 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (testing):
- Add more tests for compression backend initialization. Closes
ticket 22286.
o Minor bugfixes (directory cache):
- Fix a memory leak when recovering space in the consensus cache.
Fixes bug 23139; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Increase the number of circuits that a service is allowed to
open over a specific period of time. The value was lower than it
should be (8 vs 12) in the normal case of 3 introduction points.
Fixes bug 22159; bugfix on 0.3.0.5-rc.
- Fix a BUG warning during HSv3 descriptor decoding that could be
cause by a specially crafted descriptor. Fixes bug 23233; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Bug found by "haxxpop".
- Rate-limit the log messages if we exceed the maximum number of
allowed intro circuits. Fixes bug 22159; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging, relay):
- Remove a forgotten debugging message when an introduction point
successfully establishes a hidden service prop224 circuit with
a client.
- Change three other log_warn() for an introduction point to
protocol warnings, because they can be failure from the network
and are not relevant to the operator. Fixes bug 23078; bugfix on
0.3.0.1-alpha and 0.3.0.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- When a relay is not running as a directory cache, it will no
longer generate compressed consensuses and consensus diff
information. Previously, this was a waste of disk and CPU. Fixes
bug 23275; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (robustness, error handling):
- Improve our handling of the cases where OpenSSL encounters a
memory error while encoding keys and certificates. We haven't
observed these errors in the wild, but if they do happen, we now
detect and respond better. Fixes bug 19418; bugfix on all versions
of Tor. Reported by Guido Vranken.
o Minor bugfixes (stability):
- Avoid crashing on a double-free when unable to load or process an
included file. Fixes bug 23155; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. Found
with the clang static analyzer.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Fix an undersized buffer in test-memwipe.c. Fixes bug 23291;
bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Found and patched by Ties Stuij.
- Port the hs_ntor handshake test to work correctly with recent
versions of the pysha3 module. Fixes bug 23071; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Windows service):
- When running as a Windows service, set the ID of the main thread
correctly. Failure to do so made us fail to send log messages to
the controller in 0.2.1.16-rc, slowed down controller event
delivery in 0.2.7.3-rc and later, and crash with an assertion
failure in 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fixes bug 23081; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
Patch and diagnosis from "Vort".
Forward-port 0.3.0.10 changelog
2017-08-02 18:29:40 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.0.10 - 2017-08-02
Tor 0.3.0.10 backports a collection of small-to-medium bugfixes
from the current Tor alpha series. OpenBSD users and TPROXY users
should upgrade; others are probably okay sticking with 0.3.0.9.
o Major features (build system, continuous integration, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.
o Major bugfixes (linux TPROXY support, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Fix a typo that had prevented TPROXY-based transparent proxying
from working under Linux. Fixes bug 18100; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
o Major bugfixes (openbsd, denial-of-service, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid an assertion failure bug affecting our implementation of
inet_pton(AF_INET6) on certain OpenBSD systems whose strtol()
Correctly describe which inputs would confuse the old BSD strtol This fixes our changelog's description of 22789.

22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Minor features (backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (bandwidth accounting, backport from 0.3.1.2-alpha):
- Roll over monthly accounting at the configured hour and minute,
rather than always at 00:00. Fixes bug 22245; bugfix on 0.0.9rc1.
Found by Andrey Karpov with PVS-Studio.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation warnings, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug 22915;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt
support on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When building with certain versions of the mingw C header files,
avoid float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions
isfinite(), isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, mingw, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Backport a fix for an "unused variable" warning that appeared
in some versions of mingw. Fixes bug 22838; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- When rejecting a router descriptor for running an obsolete version
of Tor without ntor support, warn about the obsolete tor version,
not the missing ntor key. Fixes bug 20270; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha):
- Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests, backport from 0.3.1.5-alpha)
- Fix a memory leak in the link-handshake/certs_ok_ed25519 test.
Fixes bug 22803; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
forward-port 0.3.1.5-alpha changelog
2017-08-01 18:20:23 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.1.5-alpha - 2017-08-01
Tor 0.3.1.5-alpha improves the performance of consensus diff
calculation, fixes a crash bug on older versions of OpenBSD, and fixes
several other bugs. If no serious bugs are found in this version, the
next version will be a release candidate.
This release also marks the end of support for the Tor 0.2.4.x,
0.2.6.x, and 0.2.7.x release series. Those releases will receive no
further bug or security fixes. Anyone still running or distributing
one of those versions should upgrade.
o Major features (build system, continuous integration):
- Tor's repository now includes a Travis Continuous Integration (CI)
configuration file (.travis.yml). This is meant to help new
developers and contributors who fork Tor to a Github repository be
better able to test their changes, and understand what we expect
to pass. To use this new build feature, you must fork Tor to your
Github account, then go into the "Integrations" menu in the
repository settings for your fork and enable Travis, then push
your changes. Closes ticket 22636.

handling of "0xbar" differs from what we had expected. Fixes bug
forward-port 0.3.1.5-alpha changelog
2017-08-01 18:20:23 +02:00
22789; bugfix on 0.2.3.8-alpha. Also tracked as TROVE-2017-007.
o Major bugfixes (relay, performance):
- Perform circuit handshake operations at a higher priority than we
use for consensus diff creation and compression. This should
prevent circuits from starving when a relay or bridge receives a
new consensus, especially on lower-powered machines. Fixes bug
22883; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor features (bridge authority):
- Add "fingerprint" lines to the networkstatus-bridges file produced
by bridge authorities. Closes ticket 22207.
o Minor features (directory cache, consensus diff):
- Add a new MaxConsensusAgeForDiffs option to allow directory cache
operators with low-resource environments to adjust the number of
consensuses they'll store and generate diffs from. Most cache
operators should leave it unchanged. Helps to work around
bug 22883.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (relay, performance):
- Always start relays with at least two worker threads, to prevent
priority inversion on slow tasks. Part of the fix for bug 22883.
- Allow background work to be queued with different priorities, so
that a big pile of slow low-priority jobs will not starve out
higher priority jobs. This lays the groundwork for a fix for
bug 22883.
o Minor bugfixes (build system, rust):
- Fix a problem where Rust toolchains were not being found when
building without --enable-cargo-online-mode, due to setting the
$HOME environment variable instead of $CARGO_HOME. Fixes bug
22830; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. Fix by Chelsea Komlo.
o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, zstd):
- Write zstd epilogues correctly when the epilogue requires
reallocation of the output buffer, even with zstd 1.3.0.
(Previously, we worked on 1.2.0 and failed with 1.3.0). Fixes bug
22927; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation warnings):
- Suppress -Wdouble-promotion warnings with clang 4.0. Fixes bug
22915; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Fix warnings when building with libscrypt and openssl scrypt
support on Clang. Fixes bug 22916; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Compile correctly when both openssl 1.1.0 and libscrypt are
detected. Previously this would cause an error. Fixes bug 22892;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When building with certain versions of the mingw C header files,
avoid float-conversion warnings when calling the C functions
isfinite(), isnan(), and signbit(). Fixes bug 22801; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (coverity build support):
- Avoid Coverity build warnings related to our BUG() macro. By
default, Coverity treats BUG() as the Linux kernel does: an
instant abort(). We need to override that so our BUG() macro
doesn't prevent Coverity from analyzing functions that use it.
Fixes bug 23030; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
- When a directory authority rejects a descriptor or extrainfo with
a given digest, mark that digest as undownloadable, so that we do
not attempt to download it again over and over. We previously
tried to avoid downloading such descriptors by other means, but we
didn't notice if we accidentally downloaded one anyway. This
behavior became problematic in 0.2.7.2-alpha, when authorities
began pinning Ed25519 keys. Fixes bug 22349; bugfix
on 0.2.1.19-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (error reporting, windows):
- When formatting Windows error messages, use the English format to
avoid codepage issues. Fixes bug 22520; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-alpha.
Patch from "Vort".
o Minor bugfixes (file limits, osx):
- When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files. Fixes
bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Avoid a sandbox failure when trying to re-bind to a socket and
mark it as IPv6-only. Fixes bug 20247; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
- Fix a small memory leak when validating a configuration that uses
two or more AF_UNIX sockets for the same port type. Fixes bug
23053; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. This is CID 1415725.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- test_consdiff_base64cmp would fail on OS X because while OS X
follows the standard of (less than zero/zero/greater than zero),
it doesn't follow the convention of (-1/0/+1). Make the test
comply with the standard. Fixes bug 22870; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak in the link-handshake/certs_ok_ed25519 test.
Fixes bug 22803; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Add 0.3.1.4-alpha to changelog
2017-06-30 00:48:06 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.1.4-alpha - 2017-06-29
Tor 0.3.1.4-alpha fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
relay. This is a security regression; all clients running earlier
versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9
or 0.3.1.4-alpha.
This release also fixes several other bugs introduced in 0.3.0.x
and 0.3.1.x, including others that can affect bandwidth usage
and correctness.
o New dependencies:
- To build with zstd and lzma support, Tor now requires the
pkg-config tool at build time. (This requirement was new in
0.3.1.1-alpha, but was not noted at the time. Noting it here to
close ticket 22623.)
o Major bugfixes (path selection, security):
- When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the exit's
family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new guard
selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider its family.
Use the correct TROVE id for #22753.
2017-07-07 16:49:48 +02:00
Fixes bug 22753; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha. Tracked as TROVE-2017-
Add 0.3.1.4-alpha to changelog
2017-06-30 00:48:06 +02:00
006 and CVE-2017-0377.
o Major bugfixes (compression, zstd):
- Correctly detect a full buffer when decompressing a large zstd-
compressed input. Previously, we would sometimes treat a full
buffer as an error. Fixes bug 22628; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (directory protocol):
- Ensure that we send "304 Not modified" as HTTP status code when a
client is attempting to fetch a consensus or consensus diff, and
the best one we can send them is one they already have. Fixes bug
22702; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (entry guards):
- When starting with an old consensus, do not add new entry guards
unless the consensus is "reasonably live" (under 1 day old). Fixes
one root cause of bug 22400; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (bug mitigation, diagnostics, logging):
- Avoid an assertion failure, and log a better error message, when
unable to remove a file from the consensus cache on Windows.
Attempts to mitigate and diagnose bug 22752.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compression):
- When compressing or decompressing a buffer, check for a failure to
create a compression object. Fixes bug 22626; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When decompressing a buffer, check for extra data after the end of
the compressed data. Fixes bug 22629; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When decompressing an object received over an anonymous directory
connection, if we have already decompressed it using an acceptable
compression method, do not reject it for looking like an
unacceptable compression method. Fixes part of bug 22670; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When serving directory votes compressed with zlib, do not claim to
have compressed them with zstd. Fixes bug 22669; bugfix
on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
- When spooling compressed data to an output buffer, don't try to
spool more data when there is no more data to spool and we are not
trying to flush the input. Previously, we would sometimes launch
compression requests with nothing to do, which interferes with our
22672 checks. Fixes bug 22719; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming):
- Detect and break out of infinite loops in our compression code. We
don't think that any such loops exist now, but it's best to be
safe. Closes ticket 22672.
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
- Fix a crash in the LZMA module, when the sandbox was enabled, and
liblzma would allocate more than 16 MB of memory. We solve this by
bumping the mprotect() limit in the sandbox module from 16 MB to
20 MB. Fixes bug 22751; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- When decompressing, do not warn if we fail to decompress using a
compression method that we merely guessed. Fixes part of bug
22670; bugfix on 0.1.1.14-alpha.
- When decompressing, treat mismatch between content-encoding and
actual compression type as a protocol warning. Fixes part of bug
22670; bugfix on 0.1.1.9-alpha.
- Downgrade "assigned_to_cpuworker failed" message to info-level
severity. In every case that can reach it, either a better warning
has already been logged, or no warning is warranted. Fixes bug
22356; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
- Demote a warn that was caused by libevent delays to info if
netflow padding is less than 4.5 seconds late, or to notice
if it is more (4.5 seconds is the amount of time that a netflow
record might be emitted after, if we chose the maximum timeout).
Fixes bug 22212; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (process behavior):
- When exiting because of an error, always exit with a nonzero exit
status. Previously, we would fail to report an error in our exit
status in cases related to __OwningControllerProcess failure,
lockfile contention, and Ed25519 key initialization. Fixes bug
22720; bugfix on versions 0.2.1.6-alpha, 0.2.2.28-beta, and
0.2.7.2-alpha respectively. Reported by "f55jwk4f"; patch
from "huyvq".
o Documentation:
- Add a manpage description for the key-pinning-journal file. Closes
ticket 22347.
- Correctly note that bandwidth accounting values are stored in the
state file, and the bw_accounting file is now obsolete. Closes

Add 0.3.0.9 to changelog and releasenotes
2017-06-30 00:47:24 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.0.9 - 2017-06-29
Tor 0.3.0.9 fixes a path selection bug that would allow a client
to use a guard that was in the same network family as a chosen exit
relay. This is a security regression; all clients running earlier
versions of 0.3.0.x or 0.3.1.x should upgrade to 0.3.0.9 or
0.3.1.4-alpha.
This release also backports several other bugfixes from the 0.3.1.x
series.
o Major bugfixes (path selection, security, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- When choosing which guard to use for a circuit, avoid the exit's
family along with the exit itself. Previously, the new guard
selection logic avoided the exit, but did not consider its family.
Use the correct TROVE id for #22753.

Add 0.3.0.9 to changelog and releasenotes
2017-06-30 00:47:24 +02:00
006 and CVE-2017-0377.
o Major bugfixes (entry guards, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Don't block bootstrapping when a primary bridge is offline and we
can't get its descriptor. Fixes bug 22325; fixes one case of bug
21969; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (entry guards, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- When starting with an old consensus, do not add new entry guards
unless the consensus is "reasonably live" (under 1 day old). Fixes
one root cause of bug 22400; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (voting consistency, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Reject version numbers with non-numeric prefixes (such as +, -, or
whitespace). Disallowing whitespace prevents differential version
parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes bug 21507
and part of 21508; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Permit the fchmod system call, to avoid crashing on startup when
starting with the seccomp2 sandbox and an unexpected set of
permissions on the data directory or its contents. Fixes bug
22516; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (defensive programming, backport from 0.3.1.4-alpha):
- Fix a memset() off the end of an array when packing cells. This
bug should be harmless in practice, since the corrupted bytes are
still in the same structure, and are always padding bytes,
ignored, or immediately overwritten, depending on compiler
behavior. Nevertheless, because the memset()'s purpose is to make
sure that any other cell-handling bugs can't expose bytes to the
network, we need to fix it. Fixes bug 22737; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha. Fixes CID 1401591.

Changes in version 0.3.1.3-alpha - 2017-06-08
Tor 0.3.1.3-alpha fixes a pair of bugs that would allow an attacker to

TROVE-2017-004 and as CVE-2017-0375; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.

2017-06-07 15:36:12 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (relay, link handshake):
- When performing the v3 link handshake on a TLS connection, report
that we have the x509 certificate that we actually used on that
connection, even if we have changed certificates since that
connection was first opened. Previously, we would claim to have
used our most recent x509 link certificate, which would sometimes
make the link handshake fail. Fixes one case of bug 22460; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relays, key management):
- Regenerate link and authentication certificates whenever the key
that signs them changes; also, regenerate link certificates
whenever the signed key changes. Previously, these processes were
only weakly coupled, and we relays could (for minutes to hours)
wind up with an inconsistent set of keys and certificates, which
other relays would not accept. Fixes two cases of bug 22460;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
- When sending an Ed25519 signing->link certificate in a CERTS cell,
send the certificate that matches the x509 certificate that we
used on the TLS connection. Previously, there was a race condition
if the TLS context rotated after we began the TLS handshake but
before we sent the CERTS cell. Fixes a case of bug 22460; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (torrc, crash):
- Fix a crash bug when using %include in torrc. Fixes bug 22417;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
o Minor features (code style):
- Add "Falls through" comments to our codebase, in order to silence
GCC 7's -Wimplicit-fallthrough warnings. Patch from Andreas
Stieger. Closes ticket 22446.
o Minor features (diagnostic):
- Add logging messages to try to diagnose a rare bug that seems to
generate RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificates dated in the 1970s. We
think this is happening because of incorrect system clocks, but
we'd like to know for certain. Diagnostic for bug 22466.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
- Avoid undefined behavior when parsing IPv6 entries from the geoip6
file. Fixes bug 22490; bugfix on 0.2.4.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory protocol):
- Check for libzstd >= 1.1, because older versions lack the
necessary streaming API. Fixes bug 22413; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (link handshake):
- Lower the lifetime of the RSA->Ed25519 cross-certificate to six
months, and regenerate it when it is within one month of expiring.
Previously, we had generated this certificate at startup with a
ten-year lifetime, but that could lead to weird behavior when Tor
was started with a grossly inaccurate clock. Mitigates bug 22466;
mitigation on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (storage directories):
- Always check for underflows in the cached storage directory usage.
If the usage does underflow, re-calculate it. Also, avoid a
separate underflow when the usage is not known. Fixes bug 22424;
bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
- The unit tests now pass on systems where localhost is misconfigured
to some IPv4 address other than 127.0.0.1. Fixes bug 6298; bugfix
on 0.0.9pre2.
o Documentation:
- Clarify the manpage for the (deprecated) torify script. Closes
ticket 6892.

Changes in version 0.3.0.8 - 2017-06-08
Tor 0.3.0.8 fixes a pair of bugs that would allow an attacker to

o Minor bugfixes (configuration, backport from 0.3.1.1-alpha):
- Do not crash when starting with LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0. Fixes
bug 22252; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.

Tor 0.2.9.11 also backports fixes for several key management bugs
that sometimes made relays unreliable, as well as several other
bugfixes described below.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service, relay, security, backport
from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Fix a remotely triggerable assertion failure caused by receiving a
BEGIN_DIR cell on a hidden service rendezvous circuit. Fixes bug
22494, tracked as TROVE-2017-005 and CVE-2017-0376; bugfix
on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, link handshake, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):

December 2016 (of which ~126 were still functional) with a list of
151 fallbacks (32 new, 119 unchanged, 58 removed) generated in May
2017. Resolves ticket 21564.
o Minor features (future-proofing, backport from 0.3.0.7):
- Tor no longer refuses to download microdescriptors or descriptors if
they are listed as "published in the future". This change will
eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates
in microdescriptor consensuses, and thereby allow us to reduce the
resources required to download consensus diffs by over 50%.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
o Minor features (directory authorities, backport from 0.3.0.4-rc)
- Directory authorities now reject relays running versions
0.2.9.1-alpha through 0.2.9.4-alpha, because those relays
suffer from bug 20499 and don't keep their consensus cache
up-to-date. Resolves ticket 20509.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 2 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (control port, backport from 0.3.0.6):
- The GETINFO extra-info/digest/<digest> command was broken because
of a wrong base16 decode return value check, introduced when
refactoring that API. Fixes bug 22034; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, backport from 0.3.1.3-alpha):
- Avoid undefined behavior when parsing IPv6 entries from the geoip6
file. Fixes bug 22490; bugfix on 0.2.4.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox, backport from 0.3.0.7):
- The getpid() system call is now permitted under the Linux seccomp2
sandbox, to avoid crashing with versions of OpenSSL (and other
libraries) that attempt to learn the process's PID by using the
syscall rather than the VDSO code. Fixes bug 21943; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak, directory authority, backport
from 0.3.1.2-alpha):
- When directory authorities reject a router descriptor due to
keypinning, free the router descriptor rather than leaking the
memory. Fixes bug 22370; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.

Tor 0.3.1.1-alpha is the first release in the 0.3.1.x series. It
reduces the bandwidth usage for Tor's directory protocol, adds some
basic padding to resist netflow-based traffic analysis and to serve as
the basis of other padding in the future, and adds rust support to the
build system.
It also contains numerous other small features and improvements to
security, correctness, and performance.
Below are the changes since 0.3.0.7.

now request these documents when available. When both client and

to 94% less) to keep the client's consensus up-to-date. Implements

the "--enable-rust" flag to the configure script. It's not time to
get excited yet: currently, there is no actual Rust functionality
beyond some simple glue code, and a notice at startup to tell you

parameters). This padding will not resist specialized
eavesdroppers, but it should be enough to make many ISPs' routine
network flow logging less useful in traffic analysis against
Tor users.
First editing pass on changelog.
2017-05-19 20:50:02 +02:00
Padding is negotiated using Tor's link protocol, so both relays
and clients must upgrade for this to take effect. Clients may
still send padding despite the relay's version by setting
ConnectionPadding 1 in torrc, and may disable padding by setting
ConnectionPadding 0 in torrc. Padding may be minimized for mobile
users with the torrc option ReducedConnectionPadding. Implements
Proposal 251 and Section 2 of Proposal 254; closes ticket 16861.

- Relays will publish 24 hour totals of padding and non-padding cell
counts to their extra-info descriptors, unless PaddingStatistics 0
is set in torrc. These 24 hour totals are also rounded to
multiples of 10000.

2017-05-20 02:58:54 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (connection usage):
- We use NETINFO cells to try to determine if both relays involved
in a connection will agree on the canonical status of that
connection. We prefer the connections where this is the case for
extend cells, and try to close connections where relays disagree
on their canonical status early. Also, we now prefer the oldest
valid connection for extend cells. These two changes should reduce
the number of long-term connections that are kept open between
relays. Fixes bug 17604; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
- Relays now log hourly statistics (look for
"channel_check_for_duplicates" lines) on the total number of
connections to other relays. If the number of connections per
relay is unexpectedly large, this log message is at notice level.
Otherwise it is at info.

Changes in version 0.3.0.7 - 2017-05-15
Tor 0.3.0.7 fixes a medium-severity security bug in earlier versions
of Tor 0.3.0.x, where an attacker could cause a Tor relay process
to exit. Relays running earlier versions of Tor 0.3.0.x should upgrade;
clients are not affected.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service directory, security):
- Fix an assertion failure in the hidden service directory code, which
could be used by an attacker to remotely cause a Tor relay process to
exit. Relays running earlier versions of Tor 0.3.0.x should upgrade.

o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 2 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (future-proofing):
- Tor no longer refuses to download microdescriptors or descriptors
if they are listed as "published in the future". This change will
eventually allow us to stop listing meaningful "published" dates
in microdescriptor consensuses, and thereby allow us to reduce the
resources required to download consensus diffs by over 50%.
Implements part of ticket 21642; implements part of proposal 275.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- The getpid() system call is now permitted under the Linux seccomp2
sandbox, to avoid crashing with versions of OpenSSL (and other
libraries) that attempt to learn the process's PID by using the
syscall rather than the VDSO code. Fixes bug 21943; bugfix
on 0.2.5.1-alpha.

2017-04-26 21:39:10 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.0.6 - 2017-04-26
Tor 0.3.0.6 is the first stable release of the Tor 0.3.0 series.
With the 0.3.0 series, clients and relays now use Ed25519 keys to
authenticate their link connections to relays, rather than the old
RSA1024 keys that they used before. (Circuit crypto has been
Curve25519-authenticated since 0.2.4.8-alpha.) We have also replaced
the guard selection and replacement algorithm to behave more robustly
in the presence of unreliable networks, and to resist guard-
capture attacks.
This series also includes numerous other small features and bugfixes,
along with more groundwork for the upcoming hidden-services revamp.
Per our stable release policy, we plan to support the Tor 0.3.0
release series for at least the next nine months, or for three months
after the first stable release of the 0.3.1 series: whichever is
longer. If you need a release with long-term support, we recommend
that you stay with the 0.2.9 series.
Below are the changes since 0.3.0.5-rc. For a list of all changes
since 0.2.9, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the April 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (control port):
- The GETINFO extra-info/digest/<digest> command was broken because
of a wrong base16 decode return value check, introduced when
refactoring that API. Fixes bug 22034; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (crash prevention):
- Fix a (currently untriggerable, but potentially dangerous) crash
bug when base32-encoding inputs whose sizes are not a multiple of
5. Fixes bug 21894; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
forward-port the 0.3.0.5-rc changelog
2017-04-05 16:04:38 +02:00
Changes in version 0.3.0.5-rc - 2017-04-05
Tor 0.3.0.5-rc fixes a few remaining bugs, large and small, in the
0.3.0 release series.
This is the second release candidate in the Tor 0.3.0 series, and has
much fewer changes than the first. If we find no new bugs or
regressions here, the first stable 0.3.0 release will be nearly
identical to it.
o Major bugfixes (crash, directory connections):
- Fix a rare crash when sending a begin cell on a circuit whose
linked directory connection had already been closed. Fixes bug
21576; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
o Major bugfixes (guard selection):
- Fix a guard selection bug where Tor would refuse to bootstrap in
some cases if the user swapped a bridge for another bridge in
their configuration file. Fixes bug 21771; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Reported by "torvlnt33r".
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the March 7 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfix (compilation):
- Fix a warning when compiling hs_service.c. Previously, it had no
exported symbols when compiled for libor.a, resulting in a
compilation warning from clang. Fixes bug 21825; bugfix
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Make hidden services check for failed intro point connections,
even when they have exceeded their intro point creation limit.
Fixes bug 21596; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
- Make hidden services with 8 to 10 introduction points check for
failed circuits immediately after startup. Previously, they would
wait for 5 minutes before performing their first checks. Fixes bug
21594; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. Reported by Alec Muffett.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks):
- Fix a memory leak when using GETCONF on a port option. Fixes bug
21682; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Avoid a double-marked-circuit warning that could happen when we
receive DESTROY cells under heavy load. Fixes bug 20059; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (tests):
- Run the entry_guard_parse_from_state_full() test with the time set
to a specific date. (The guard state that this test was parsing
contained guards that had expired since the test was first
written.) Fixes bug 21799; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Documentation:
- Update the description of the directory server options in the
manual page, to clarify that a relay no longer needs to set
DirPort in order to be a directory cache. Closes ticket 21720.

Changes in version 0.2.8.13 - 2017-03-03
Tor 0.2.8.13 backports a security fix from later Tor
releases. Anybody running Tor 0.2.8.12 or earlier should upgrade to this
this release, if for some reason they cannot upgrade to a later
release series, and if they build Tor with the --enable-expensive-hardening
option.
Note that support for Tor 0.2.8.x is ending next year: we will not issue
any fixes for the Tor 0.2.8.x series after 1 Jan 2018. If you need
a Tor release series with longer-term support, we recommend Tor 0.2.9.x.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, backported from 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.7.7 - 2017-03-03
Tor 0.2.7.7 backports a number of security fixes from later Tor
releases. Anybody running Tor 0.2.7.6 or earlier should upgrade to
this release, if for some reason they cannot upgrade to a later
release series.
Note that support for Tor 0.2.7.x is ending this year: we will not issue
any fixes for the Tor 0.2.7.x series after 1 August 2017. If you need
a Tor release series with longer-term support, we recommend Tor 0.2.9.x.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.8.5-rc):
- Urras is no longer a directory authority. Closes ticket 19271.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.9.2-alpha):
- The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.
o Directory authority key updates (backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha):
- Update the V3 identity key for the dannenberg directory authority:
it was changed on 18 November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch
by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (parsing, security, backport from 0.2.9.8):
- Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used
to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening)
to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non-
hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of
their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE-
2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254.
o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, and the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.
Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
- Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).
o Major bugfixes (security, pointers, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid a difficult-to-trigger heap corruption attack when extending
a smartlist to contain over 16GB of pointers. Fixes bug 18162;
bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha, which fixed a related bug incompletely.
Reported by Guido Vranken.
o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (key management, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling
pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here
should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is
running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or
if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on
0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and
Baishakhi Ray.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, backported from 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor features (security, memory erasure, backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha):
- Make memwipe() do nothing when passed a NULL pointer or buffer of
zero size. Check size argument to memwipe() for underflow. Fixes
bug 18089; bugfix on 0.2.3.25 and 0.2.4.6-alpha. Reported by "gk",
patch by "teor".
o Minor features (bug-resistance, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Make Tor survive errors involving connections without a
corresponding event object. Previously we'd fail with an
assertion; now we produce a log message. Related to bug 16248.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.6.11 - 2017-03-03
Tor 0.2.6.11 backports a number of security fixes from later Tor
releases. Anybody running Tor 0.2.6.10 or earlier should upgrade to
this release, if for some reason they cannot upgrade to a later
release series.
Note that support for Tor 0.2.6.x is ending this year: we will not issue
any fixes for the Tor 0.2.6.x series after 1 August 2017. If you need
a Tor release series with longer-term support, we recommend Tor 0.2.9.x.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.8.5-rc):

- Update the V3 identity key for the dannenberg directory authority:
it was changed on 18 November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch
by "teor".
o Major features (security fixes, backport from 0.2.9.4-alpha):
- Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).

o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, and the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.
Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, correctness, backport from 0.2.7.4-rc):
- Fix an error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before the
beginning of an openssl string. This bug could be used to cause
Tor to crash on systems with unusual malloc implementations, or
systems with unusual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, pointers, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid a difficult-to-trigger heap corruption attack when extending
a smartlist to contain over 16GB of pointers. Fixes bug 18162;
bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha, which fixed a related bug incompletely.
Reported by Guido Vranken.
o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (guard selection, backport from 0.2.7.6):
- Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory
guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we
accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard
flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse
performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered
by Mohsen Imani.
o Major bugfixes (key management, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling
pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here
should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is
running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or
if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on

presence of an address which can never be NULL. Fixes bug 17781.
Changes in version 0.2.5.13 - 2017-03-03
Tor 0.2.5.13 backports a number of security fixes from later Tor

- The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.
o Directory authority key updates (backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha):
- Update the V3 identity key for the dannenberg directory authority:
it was changed on 18 November 2015. Closes task 17906. Patch
by "teor".
o Major features (security fixes, backport from 0.2.9.4-alpha):
- Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).
o Major bugfixes (parsing, security, backport from 0.2.9.8):
- Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used
to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening)
to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non-
hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of
their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE-
2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254.
o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, and the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.
Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, correctness, backport from 0.2.7.4-rc):
- Fix an error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before the
beginning of an openssl string. This bug could be used to cause
Tor to crash on systems with unusual malloc implementations, or
systems with unusual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, pointers, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid a difficult-to-trigger heap corruption attack when extending
a smartlist to contain over 16GB of pointers. Fixes bug 18162;
bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha, which fixed a related bug incompletely.
Reported by Guido Vranken.
o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (guard selection, backport from 0.2.7.6):
- Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory
guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we
accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard
flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse
performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered
by Mohsen Imani.
o Major bugfixes (key management, backport from 0.2.8.3-alpha):
- If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling
pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here
should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is
running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or
if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on
0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and
Baishakhi Ray.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, backported from 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor features (security, memory erasure, backport from 0.2.8.1-alpha):
- Make memwipe() do nothing when passed a NULL pointer or buffer of
zero size. Check size argument to memwipe() for underflow. Fixes
bug 18089; bugfix on 0.2.3.25 and 0.2.4.6-alpha. Reported by "gk",
patch by "teor".
o Minor features (bug-resistance, backport from 0.2.8.2-alpha):
- Make Tor survive errors involving connections without a
corresponding event object. Previously we'd fail with an
assertion; now we produce a log message. Related to bug 16248.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, backport from 0.2.7.6):
- Fix a compilation warning with Clang 3.6: Do not check the
presence of an address which can never be NULL. Fixes bug 17781.
o Minor bugfixes (crypto error-handling, backport from 0.2.7.2-alpha):
- Check for failures from crypto_early_init, and refuse to continue.
A previous typo meant that we could keep going with an
uninitialized crypto library, and would have OpenSSL initialize
its own PRNG. Fixes bug 16360; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha, introduced
when implementing ticket 4900. Patch by "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service, backport from 0.2.7.1-alpha):
- Fix an out-of-bounds read when parsing invalid INTRODUCE2 cells on
a client authorized hidden service. Fixes bug 15823; bugfix
on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
Changes in version 0.2.4.28 - 2017-03-03
Tor 0.2.4.28 backports a number of security fixes from later Tor
releases. Anybody running Tor 0.2.4.27 or earlier should upgrade to
this release, if for some reason they cannot upgrade to a later
release series.
Note that support for Tor 0.2.4.x is ending soon: we will not issue
any fixes for the Tor 0.2.4.x series after 1 August 2017. If you need
a Tor release series with long-term support, we recommend Tor 0.2.9.x.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.8.5-rc):
- Urras is no longer a directory authority. Closes ticket 19271.
o Directory authority changes (backport from 0.2.9.2-alpha):
- The "Tonga" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
authority is "Bifroest". Closes tickets 19728 and 19690.

Forward-port 0.3.0.4-rc changelog
2017-03-01 21:39:52 +01:00
Changes in version 0.3.0.4-rc - 2017-03-01
Tor 0.3.0.4-rc fixes some remaining bugs, large and small, in the
0.3.0 release series, and introduces a few reliability features to
keep them from coming back.
This is the first release candidate in the Tor 0.3.0 series. If we
find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.3.0 release
will be nearly identical to it.
o Major bugfixes (bridges):
- When the same bridge is configured multiple times with the same
identity, but at different address:port combinations, treat those
bridge instances as separate guards. This fix restores the ability
of clients to configure the same bridge with multiple pluggable
transports. Fixes bug 21027; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service directory v3):
- Stop crashing on a failed v3 hidden service descriptor lookup

2017-03-01 21:39:52 +01:00
o Major bugfixes (parsing):
- When parsing a malformed content-length field from an HTTP
message, do not read off the end of the buffer. This bug was a
potential remote denial-of-service attack against Tor clients and
relays. A workaround was released in October 2016, to prevent this
bug from crashing Tor. This is a fix for the underlying issue,
which should no longer matter (if you applied the earlier patch).
Fixes bug 20894; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Bug found by fuzzing
using AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor feature (protocol versioning):
- Add new protocol version for proposal 224. HSIntro now advertises
version "3-4" and HSDir version "1-2". Fixes ticket 20656.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities now reject descriptors that claim to be
malformed versions of Tor. Helps prevent exploitation of
bug 21278.
- Reject version numbers with components that exceed INT32_MAX.
Otherwise 32-bit and 64-bit platforms would behave inconsistently.
Fixes bug 21450; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
Fold new entries into changelog
2017-05-22 17:40:52 +02:00
- Directory authorities now reject relays running versions
0.2.9.1-alpha through 0.2.9.4-alpha, because those relays
suffer from bug 20499 and don't keep their consensus cache
up-to-date. Resolves ticket 20509.
Forward-port 0.3.0.4-rc changelog
2017-03-01 21:39:52 +01:00
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (reliability, crash):
- Try better to detect problems in buffers where they might grow (or
think they have grown) over 2 GB in size. Diagnostic for
bug 21369.
o Minor features (testing):
- During 'make test-network-all', if tor logs any warnings, ask
chutney to output them. Requires a recent version of chutney with
the 21572 patch. Implements 21570.
o Minor bugfixes (certificate expiration time):
- Avoid using link certificates that don't become valid till some
time in the future. Fixes bug 21420; bugfix on 0.2.4.11-alpha
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness):
- Repair a couple of (unreachable or harmless) cases of the risky
comparison-by-subtraction pattern that caused bug 21278.
- Remove a redundant check for the UseEntryGuards option from the
options_transition_affects_guards() function. Fixes bug 21492;
bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory mirrors):
- Allow relays to use directory mirrors without a DirPort: these
relays need to be contacted over their ORPorts using a begindir
connection. Fixes one case of bug 20711; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Clarify the message logged when a remote relay is unexpectedly
missing an ORPort or DirPort: users were confusing this with a
local port. Fixes another case of bug 20711; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (guards):
- Don't warn about a missing guard state on timeout-measurement
circuits: they aren't supposed to be using guards. Fixes an
instance of bug 21007; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
- Silence a BUG() warning when attempting to use a guard whose
descriptor we don't know, and make this scenario less likely to
happen. Fixes bug 21415; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Pass correct buffer length when encoding legacy ESTABLISH_INTRO
cells. Previously, we were using sizeof() on a pointer, instead of
the real destination buffer. Fortunately, that value was only used
to double-check that there was enough room--which was already
enforced elsewhere. Fixes bug 21553; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):

by "hein".
- Rename "make fuzz" to "make test-fuzz-corpora", since it doesn't
actually fuzz anything. Fixes bug 21447; bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
- Use bash in src/test/test-network.sh. This ensures we reliably
call chutney's newer tools/test-network.sh when available. Fixes
bug 21562; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Documentation:
- Small fixes to the fuzzing documentation. Closes ticket 21472.
Bump to 0.3.0.3-alpha-dev

Port 0.2.9.10 changelog and releasenotes to master
2017-03-01 14:17:52 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.9.10 - 2017-03-01
Tor 0.2.9.10 backports a security fix from later Tor release. It also
includes fixes for some major issues affecting directory authorities,
LibreSSL compatibility, and IPv6 correctness.
The Tor 0.2.9.x release series is now marked as a long-term-support
series. We intend to backport security fixes to 0.2.9.x until at
least January of 2020.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority, 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- During voting, when marking a relay as a probable sybil, do not
clear its BadExit flag: sybils can still be bad in other ways
too. (We still clear the other flags.) Fixes bug 21108; bugfix
on 0.2.0.13-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (IPv6 Exits, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- Stop rejecting all IPv6 traffic on Exits whose exit policy rejects
any IPv6 addresses. Instead, only reject a port over IPv6 if the
exit policy rejects that port on more than an IPv6 /16 of
addresses. This bug was made worse by 17027 in 0.2.8.1-alpha,
which rejected a relay's own IPv6 address by default. Fixes bug
21357; bugfix on commit 004f3f4e53 in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Fix an integer underflow bug when comparing malformed Tor
versions. This bug could crash Tor when built with
--enable-expensive-hardening, or on Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha through Tor
0.2.9.8, which were built with -ftrapv by default. In other cases
it was harmless. Part of TROVE-2017-001. Fixes bug 21278; bugfix
on 0.0.8pre1. Found by OSS-Fuzz.
o Minor features (directory authorities, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):

- Reject version numbers with components that exceed INT32_MAX.
Otherwise 32-bit and 64-bit platforms would behave inconsistently.
Fixes bug 21450; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 8 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (portability, compilation, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- Autoconf now checks to determine if OpenSSL structures are opaque,
instead of explicitly checking for OpenSSL version numbers. Part
of ticket 21359.
- Support building with recent LibreSSL code that uses opaque
structures. Closes ticket 21359.
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness, also in 0.3.0.4-rc):
- Repair a couple of (unreachable or harmless) cases of the risky
comparison-by-subtraction pattern that caused bug 21278.
o Minor bugfixes (tor-resolve, backport from 0.3.0.3-alpha):
- The tor-resolve command line tool now rejects hostnames over 255
characters in length. Previously, it would silently truncate them,
which could lead to bugs. Fixes bug 21280; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.

Add a blurb, edit the changelog
2017-02-03 18:04:40 +01:00
Tor 0.3.0.3-alpha fixes a few significant bugs introduced over the
0.3.0.x development series, including some that could cause
authorities to behave badly. There is also a fix for a longstanding
bug that could prevent IPv6 exits from working. Tor 0.3.0.3-alpha also
includes some smaller features and bugfixes.
The Tor 0.3.0.x release series is now in patch-freeze: no additional
features will be considered for inclusion in 0.3.0.x. We suspect that
some bugs will probably remain, however, and we encourage people to
test this release.

- When deciding whether we have just found a router to be reachable,
do not penalize it for not having performed an Ed25519 link

o Minor features (controller, configuration):
- Each of the *Port options, such as SocksPort, ORPort, ControlPort,
and so on, now comes with a __*Port variant that will not be saved
to the torrc file by the controller's SAVECONF command. This
change allows TorBrowser to set up a single-use domain socket for
each time it launches Tor. Closes ticket 20956.

meaningful in context-sensitive lists. This allows the controller
to query the mixed SocksPort/__SocksPort style options introduced
in feature 20956. Implements ticket 21300.

to 10 minutes before retrying a guard after a long period of no
network. Fixes bug 21052; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
- Do not try to build circuits until we have descriptors for our
primary entry guards. Related to fix for bug 21242.

- Rename the configure option --enable-expensive-hardening to

--enable-fragile-hardening. Expensive hardening makes the tor
daemon abort when some kinds of issues are detected. Thus, it
makes tor more at risk of remote crashes but safer against RCE or
heartbleed bug category. We now try to explain this issue in a
message from the configure script. Fixes bug 21290; bugfix

- Downgrade the "-ftrapv" option from "always on" to "only on when
--enable-expensive-hardening is provided." This hardening option, like
others, can turn survivable bugs into crashes--and having it on by
default made a (relatively harmless) integer overflow bug into a

eventually we run out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a
mysterious "Remote server sent bogus reason code 65021" log
warning. The bug was introduced in ticket 17218, where we tried to
remember the circuit end reason as a uint16_t, which mangled
negative values. Partially fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307;

- Exclude relays affected by bug 20499 from the fallback list.
Exclude relays from the fallback list if they are running versions
known to be affected by bug 20499, or if in our tests they deliver

- Require fallbacks to have flags for 90% of the time (weighted

Changes in version 0.2.9.9 - 2017-01-23
Tor 0.2.9.9 fixes a denial-of-service bug where an attacker could
cause relays and clients to crash, even if they were not built with
the --enable-expensive-hardening option. This bug affects all 0.2.9.x
versions, and also affects 0.3.0.1-alpha: all relays running an affected
version should upgrade.
This release also resolves a client-side onion service reachability
bug, and resolves a pair of small portability issues.
o Major bugfixes (security):
- Downgrade the "-ftrapv" option from "always on" to "only on when
--enable-expensive-hardening is provided." This hardening option,
like others, can turn survivable bugs into crashes -- and having
it on by default made a (relatively harmless) integer overflow bug
into a denial-of-service bug. Fixes bug 21278 (TROVE-2017-001);
bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (client, onion service):
- Fix a client-side onion service reachability bug, where multiple
socks requests to an onion service (or a single slow request)
could cause us to mistakenly mark some of the service's
introduction points as failed, and we cache that failure so
eventually we run out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a
mysterious "Remote server sent bogus reason code 65021" log
warning. The bug was introduced in ticket 17218, where we tried to
remember the circuit end reason as a uint16_t, which mangled
negative values. Partially fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Avoid crashing when Tor is built using headers that contain
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, but then tries to run on an older kernel
without CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE. Fixes bug 21035; bugfix
on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- Fix Libevent detection on platforms without Libevent 1 headers
installed. Fixes bug 21051; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.

Changes in version 0.3.0.1-alpha - 2016-12-19
Start on an 0.3.0.1-alpha changelog
2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha is the first alpha release in the 0.3.0 development
series. It strengthens Tor's link and circuit handshakes by
identifying relays by their Ed25519 keys, improves the algorithm that
clients use to choose and maintain their list of guards, and includes
additional backend support for the next-generation hidden service
design. It also contains numerous other small features and
improvements to security, correctness, and performance.
Below are the changes since 0.2.9.8.
How embarrassing; I didn't have a changes file for 19877.
2016-12-19 16:35:23 +01:00
o Major features (guard selection algorithm):
- Tor's guard selection algorithm has been redesigned from the
ground up, to better support unreliable networks and restrictive
sets of entry nodes, and to better resist guard-capture attacks by
hostile local networks. Implements proposal 271; closes
ticket 19877.

o Major features (next-generation hidden services):
- Relays can now handle v3 ESTABLISH_INTRO cells as specified by
prop224 aka "Next Generation Hidden Services". Service and clients

o Major features (protocol, ed25519 identity keys):
style edits
2016-12-19 19:39:35 +01:00
- Relays now use Ed25519 to prove their Ed25519 identities and to
one another, and to clients. This algorithm is faster and more

2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
secure than the RSA-based handshake we've been doing until now.
Implements the second big part of proposal 220; Closes
ticket 15055.
- Clients now support including Ed25519 identity keys in the EXTEND2
cells they generate. By default, this is controlled by a consensus
parameter, currently disabled. You can turn this feature on for
testing by setting ExtendByEd25519ID in your configuration. This
might make your traffic appear different than the traffic
generated by other users, however. Implements part of ticket
15056; part of proposal 220.
- Relays now understand requests to extend to other relays by their
Ed25519 identity keys. When an Ed25519 identity key is included in
an EXTEND2 cell, the relay will only extend the circuit if the
other relay can prove ownership of that identity. Implements part
of ticket 15056; part of proposal 220.
o Major bugfixes (scheduler):
style edits
2016-12-19 19:39:35 +01:00
- Actually compare circuit policies in ewma_cmp_cmux(). This bug
caused the channel scheduler to behave more or less randomly,
rather than preferring channels with higher-priority circuits.
Fixes bug 20459; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.
Start on an 0.3.0.1-alpha changelog
2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
o Minor features (controller):
- When HSFETCH arguments cannot be parsed, say "Invalid argument"
rather than "unrecognized." Closes ticket 20389; patch from
Ivan Markin.
o Minor features (diagnostic, directory client):

2016-12-19 18:48:40 +01:00
- Warn when we find an unexpected inconsistency in directory
download status objects. Prevents some negative consequences of
bug 20593.
Start on an 0.3.0.1-alpha changelog
2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Add a new authority-only AuthDirTestEd25519LinkKeys option (on by
default) to control whether authorities should try to probe relays
by their Ed25519 link keys. This option will go away in a few
releases--unless we encounter major trouble in our ed25519 link
protocol rollout, in which case it will serve as a safety option.
o Minor features (directory cache):
- Relays and bridges will now refuse to serve the consensus they
have if they know it is too old for a client to use. Closes
ticket 20511.
o Minor features (ed25519 link handshake):
- Advertise support for the ed25519 link handshake using the
subprotocol-versions mechanism, so that clients can tell which
relays can identity themselves by Ed25519 ID. Closes ticket 20552.
general formatting / whitespace / typo fixes
2017-07-01 23:56:06 +02:00
o Minor features (fingerprinting resistance, authentication):
Start on an 0.3.0.1-alpha changelog
2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
- Extend the length of RSA keys used for TLS link authentication to
2048 bits. (These weren't used for forward secrecy; for forward
secrecy, we used P256.) Closes ticket 13752.
o Minor features (infrastructure):
- Implement smartlist_add_strdup() function. Replaces the use of
smartlist_add(sl, tor_strdup(str)). Closes ticket 20048.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- When clients that use bridges start up with a cached consensus on
disk, they were ignoring it and downloading a new one. Now they
use the cached one. Fixes bug 20269; bugfix on 0.2.3.12-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration):

- Accept non-space whitespace characters after the severity level in
the `Log` option. Fixes bug 19965; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
Start on an 0.3.0.1-alpha changelog
2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
- Support "TByte" and "TBytes" units in options given in bytes.
"TB", "terabyte(s)", "TBit(s)" and "terabit(s)" were already
supported. Fixes bug 20622; bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (consensus weight):
- Add new consensus method that initializes bw weights to 1 instead
of 0. This prevents a zero weight from making it all the way to
the end (happens in small testing networks) and causing an error.
Fixes bug 14881; bugfix on 0.2.2.17-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (descriptors):
- Correctly recognise downloaded full descriptors as valid, even
when using microdescriptors as circuits. This affects clients with
FetchUselessDescriptors set, and may affect directory authorities.

2016-12-19 16:30:24 +01:00
- Download all consensus flavors, descriptors, and authority
certificates when FetchUselessDescriptors is set, regardless of
whether tor is a directory cache or not. Fixes bug 20667; bugfix
on all recent tor versions.
- Bridges and relays now use microdescriptors (like clients do)
rather than old-style router descriptors. Now bridges will blend
in with clients in terms of the circuits they build. Fixes bug
6769; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (ed25519 certificates):
- Correctly interpret ed25519 certificates that would expire some
time after 19 Jan 2038. Fixes bug 20027; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Stop ignoring misconfigured hidden services. Instead, refuse to
start tor until the misconfigurations have been corrected. Fixes
bug 20559; bugfix on multiple commits in 0.2.7.1-alpha
and earlier.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak at exit):
- Fix a small harmless memory leak at exit of the previously unused
RSA->Ed identity cross-certificate. Fixes bug 17779; bugfix
on 0.2.7.2-alpha.

2016-12-19 16:45:47 +01:00
o Minor bugfixes (util):
- When finishing writing a file to disk, if we were about to replace
the file with the temporary file created before and we fail to
replace it, remove the temporary file so it doesn't stay on disk.

- Refactor large if statement in purpose_needs_anonymity to use
switch statement instead. Closes part of ticket 20077.
- Refactor the hashing API to return negative values for errors, as
is done as throughout the codebase. Closes ticket 20717.
- Remove data structures that were used to index or_connection
objects by their RSA identity digests. These structures are fully
redundant with the similar structures used in the
channel abstraction.
- Remove duplicate code in the channel_write_*cell() functions.
Closes ticket 13827; patch from Pingl.
- Remove redundant behavior of is_sensitive_dir_purpose, refactor to
use only purpose_needs_anonymity. Closes part of ticket 20077.
- The code to generate and parse EXTEND and EXTEND2 cells has been
replaced with code automatically generated by the
"trunnel" utility.

Changes in version 0.2.8.12 - 2016-12-19
Tor 0.2.8.12 backports a fix for a medium-severity issue (bug 21018
below) where Tor clients could crash when attempting to visit a
hostile hidden service. Clients are recommended to upgrade as packages
become available for their systems.
It also includes an updated list of fallback directories, backported
from 0.2.9.
Now that the Tor 0.2.9 series is stable, only major bugfixes will be
backported to 0.2.8 in the future.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, security, backported from 0.2.9.8):
- Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used
to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening)
to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non-
hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of
their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE-
2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254.
o Minor features (fallback directory list, backported from 0.2.9.8):
- Replace the 81 remaining fallbacks of the 100 originally
introduced in Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha in March 2016, with a list of 177
fallbacks (123 new, 54 existing, 27 removed) generated in December
2016. Resolves ticket 20170.
o Minor features (geoip, backported from 0.2.9.7-rc):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 7 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.9.8 - 2016-12-19
Tor 0.2.9.8 is the first stable release of the Tor 0.2.9 series.
The Tor 0.2.9 series makes mandatory a number of security features
that were formerly optional. It includes support for a new shared-
randomness protocol that will form the basis for next generation
hidden services, includes a single-hop hidden service mode for
optimizing .onion services that don't actually want to be hidden,
tries harder not to overload the directory authorities with excessive
downloads, and supports a better protocol versioning scheme for
improved compatibility with other implementations of the Tor protocol.
And of course, there are numerous other bugfixes and improvements.
This release also includes a fix for a medium-severity issue (bug
21018 below) where Tor clients could crash when attempting to visit a
hostile hidden service. Clients are recommended to upgrade as packages
become available for their systems.
Below are the changes since 0.2.9.7-rc. For a list of all changes
since 0.2.8, see the ReleaseNotes file.
o Major bugfixes (parsing, security):
- Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single
byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used
to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening)
to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non-
hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of

2016-12-12 14:26:36 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.9.7-rc - 2016-12-12
Tor 0.2.9.7-rc fixes a few small bugs remaining in Tor 0.2.9.6-rc,
including a few that had prevented tests from passing on
some platforms.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 7 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfix (build):
- The current Git revision when building from a local repository is
now detected correctly when using git worktrees. Fixes bug 20492;
bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
- When computing old Tor protocol line version in protover, we were
looking at 0.2.7.5 twice instead of a specific case for
normalize version syntax in changelog
2016-12-18 09:45:52 +01:00

delay had approached INT_MAX. Fixes 20875; bugfix on 0.2.9.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Downgrade a harmless log message about the
pending_entry_connections list from "warn" to "info". Mitigates
bug 19926.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
- Fix a small memory leak when receiving AF_UNIX connections on a
SocksPort. Fixes bug 20716; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.

of a fix for bug 19960; bugfix on 0.2.9.5-alpha.
- Fix tolerances in unit tests for monotonic time comparisons
between nanoseconds and microseconds. Previously, we accepted a 10
us difference only, which is not realistic on every platform's
clock_gettime(). Fixes bug 19974; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- Remove a double-free in the single onion service unit test. Stop
ignoring a return value. Make future changes less error-prone.

Forward-port 0.2.8.11 notes (master)
2016-12-08 17:09:42 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.11 - 2016-12-08
Tor 0.2.8.11 backports fixes for additional portability issues that
could prevent Tor from building correctly on OSX Sierra, or with
OpenSSL 1.1. Affected users should upgrade; others can safely stay
with 0.2.8.10.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Avoid compilation errors when building on OSX Sierra. Sierra began
to support the getentropy() and clock_gettime() APIs, but created
a few problems in doing so. Tor 0.2.9 has a more thorough set of
workarounds; in 0.2.8, we are just using the /dev/urandom and mach
monotonic time interfaces. Fixes bug 20865. Bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
- Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1 and less commonly-used CPU
architectures. Closes ticket 20588.
Forward-port 0.2.8.10 to releasenotes and 0.2.8.10,0.2.9.6-rc to changelog
2016-12-02 17:23:37 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.10 - 2016-12-02
Tor 0.2.8.10 backports a fix for a bug that would sometimes make clients
unusable after they left standby mode. It also backports fixes for
a few portability issues and a small but problematic memory leak.
o Major bugfixes (client reliability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
- When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open
circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would
potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
- Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately
when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before
starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.6-rc):
- Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from
successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves
ticket 20235.
o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
- Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes bug
20551; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha):
- Work around a memory leak in OpenSSL 1.1 when encoding public
keys. Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.9.6-rc - 2016-12-02
Tor 0.2.9.6-rc fixes a few remaining bugs found in the previous alpha
version. We hope that it will be ready to become stable soon, and we
encourage everyone to test this release. If no showstopper bugs are
found here, the next 0.2.9 release will be stable.
o Major bugfixes (relay, resolver, logging):
- For relays that don't know their own address, avoid attempting a
local hostname resolve for each descriptor we download. This
will cut down on the number of "Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'"
log lines, and also avoid confusing clock jumps if the resolver
is slow. Fixes bugs 20423 and 20610; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (client, fascistfirewall):
- Avoid spurious warnings when ReachableAddresses or FascistFirewall
is set. Fixes bug 20306; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Stop ignoring the anonymity status of saved keys for hidden
services and single onion services when first starting tor.
Instead, refuse to start tor if any hidden service key has been
used in a different hidden service anonymity mode. Fixes bug
20638; bugfix on 17178 in 0.2.9.3-alpha; reported by ahf.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from
successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves
ticket 20235.
- Run correctly when built on Windows build environments that

Changes in version 0.2.9.5-alpha - 2016-11-08
Tor 0.2.9.5-alpha fixes numerous bugs discovered in the previous alpha
version. We believe one or two probably remain, and we encourage
everyone to test this release.
o Major bugfixes (client performance):
- Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately
when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before
starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (client reliability):
- When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open
circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would
potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (download scheduling):
- When using an exponential backoff schedule, do not give up on
downloading just because we have failed a bunch of times. Since
each delay is longer than the last, retrying indefinitely won't
hurt. Fixes bug 20536; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to
download, stop waiting for certificates.
- If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we
started downloading them, do not consider the certificate download
failure a separate failure. Fixes bug 20533; bugfix
on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
- Remove the maximum delay on exponential-backoff scheduling. Since
we now allow an infinite number of failures (see ticket 20536), we
must now allow the time to grow longer on each failure. Fixes part
of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- Make our initial download delays closer to those from 0.2.8. Fixes
another part of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
- When determining when to download a directory object, handle times
after 2038 if the operating system supports them. (Someday this
will be important!) Fixes bug 20587; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- When using exponential backoff in test networks, use a lower
exponent, so the delays do not vary as much. This helps test
networks bootstrap consistently. Fixes bug 20597; bugfix on 20499.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (client directory scheduling):
- Treat "relay too busy to answer request" as a failed request and a
reason to back off on our retry frequency. This is safe now that
exponential backoffs retry indefinitely, and avoids a bug where we
would reset our download schedule erroneously. Fixes bug 20593;
bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (client, logging):
- Remove a BUG warning in circuit_pick_extend_handshake(). Instead,
assume all nodes support EXTEND2. Use ntor whenever a key is
available. Fixes bug 20472; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
- On DNSPort, stop logging a BUG warning on a failed hostname
lookup. Fixes bug 19869; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- When configuring hidden services, check every hidden service
directory's permissions. Previously, we only checked the last
hidden service. Fixes bug 20529; bugfix the work to fix 13942
in 0.2.6.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1 and less commonly-used CPU
architectures. Closes ticket 20588.
- Use ECDHE ciphers instead of ECDH in tortls tests. LibreSSL has
removed the ECDH ciphers which caused the tests to fail on
platforms which use it. Fixes bug 20460; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes bug
20551; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay bootstrap):
- Ensure relays don't make multiple connections during bootstrap.
Fixes bug 20591; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- Work around a memory leak in OpenSSL 1.1 when encoding public
keys. Fixes bug 20553; bugfix on 0.0.2pre8.
- Avoid a small memory leak when informing worker threads about
rotated onion keys. Fixes bug 20401; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
- Do not try to parallelize workers more than 16x without the user
explicitly configuring us to do so, even if we do detect more than
16 CPU cores. Fixes bug 19968; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (single onion services):
- Start correctly when creating a single onion service in a
directory that did not previously exist. Fixes bug 20484; bugfix
on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Avoid a unit test failure on systems with over 16 detectable CPU
cores. Fixes bug 19968; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
o Documentation:
- Clarify that setting HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode requires you to
also set "SOCKSPort 0". Fixes bug 20487; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha.
- Module-level documentation for several more modules. Closes
tickets 19287 and 19290.
Bump master to 0.2.9.4-alpha-dev
2016-10-17 22:31:40 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.9 - 2016-10-17
Tor 0.2.8.9 backports a fix for a security hole in previous versions
of Tor that would allow a remote attacker to crash a Tor client,
hidden service, relay, or authority. All Tor users should upgrade to
this version, or to 0.2.9.4-alpha. Patches will be released for older
versions of Tor.
o Major features (security fixes, also in 0.2.9.4-alpha):
- Prevent a class of security bugs caused by treating the contents
of a buffer chunk as if they were a NUL-terminated string. At
least one such bug seems to be present in all currently used
versions of Tor, and would allow an attacker to remotely crash
most Tor instances, especially those compiled with extra compiler
hardening. With this defense in place, such bugs can't crash Tor,
though we should still fix them as they occur. Closes ticket
20384 (TROVE-2016-10-001).
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.

2016-10-17 20:55:05 +02:00
Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha fixes a security hole in previous versions of Tor
that would allow a remote attacker to crash a Tor client, hidden
service, relay, or authority. All Tor users should upgrade to this
version, or to 0.2.8.9. Patches will be released for older versions
of Tor.
Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha also adds numerous small features and fix-ups to
previous versions of Tor, including the implementation of a feature to
future- proof the Tor ecosystem against protocol changes, some bug
fixes necessary for Tor Browser to use unix domain sockets correctly,
and several portability improvements. We anticipate that this will be
the last alpha in the Tor 0.2.9 series, and that the next release will
be a release candidate.

Closes ticket 19958; implements part of proposal 264.
- Tor now uses "subprotocol versions" to indicate compatibility.
Previously, versions of Tor looked at the declared Tor version of
a relay to tell whether they could use a given feature. Now, they
should be able to rely on its declared subprotocol versions. This
change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) to

Tor 0.2.9.3-alpha adds improved support for entities that want to make
high-performance services available through the Tor .onion mechanism
without themselves receiving anonymity as they host those services. It
also tries harder to ensure that all steps on a circuit are using the
strongest crypto possible, strengthens some TLS properties, and

Changes in version 0.2.8.8 - 2016-09-23
Tor 0.2.8.8 fixes two crash bugs present in previous versions of the
0.2.8.x series. Relays running 0.2.8.x should upgrade, as should users
who select public relays as their bridges.
o Major bugfixes (crash):
- Fix a complicated crash bug that could affect Tor clients
configured to use bridges when replacing a networkstatus consensus
in which one of their bridges was mentioned. OpenBSD users saw
more crashes here, but all platforms were potentially affected.
Fixes bug 20103; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (relay, OOM handler):
- Fix a timing-dependent assertion failure that could occur when we
tried to flush from a circuit after having freed its cells because
of an out-of-memory condition. Fixes bug 20203; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha. Thanks to "cypherpunks" for help diagnosing
this one.
o Minor feature (fallback directories):
Rewrite the fallback directory mirror list changelog entries Mention fallback numbers, releases, and dates. This assists in tracking fallback attrition. Closes task 20242. Reported by arma.
2016-09-26 02:10:23 +02:00
- Remove 8 fallbacks that are no longer suitable, leaving 81 of the
100 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor 0.2.8.2-alpha in March
2016. Closes ticket 20190; patch by teor.

idea for anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options
are: CacheDNS, CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache,
UseIPv4Cache, and UseIPv6Cache.
- A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may
be removed in a future version of Tor. The options are:
AllowDotExit, AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits,
AllowSingleHopExits, ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses,
CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup,
UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks.
- The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the
corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options
may someday be removed. The affected options are:
ControlListenAddress, DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress,
NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress, SocksListenAddress,
and TransListenAddress.
o Documentation:
- Correct the IPv6 syntax in our documentation for the
VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6 torrc option. Closes ticket 19743.
o Removed code:
- We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in
Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from U+039b.

Changes in version 0.2.9.1-alpha - 2016-08-08
0291 blurb draft
2016-08-03 16:49:23 +02:00
Tor 0.2.9.1-alpha is the first alpha release in the 0.2.9 development
series. It improves our support for hardened builds and compiler
warnings, deploys some critical infrastructure for improvements to
hidden services, includes a new timing backend that we hope to use for
better support for traffic padding, makes it easier for programmers to
log unexpected events, and contains other small improvements to
security, correctness, and performance.

2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
- Tor now requires Libevent version 2.0.10-stable or later. Older
versions of Libevent have less efficient backends for several
platforms, and lack the DNS code that we use for our server-side
DNS support. This implements ticket 19554.
- Tor now requires zlib version 1.2 or later, for security,
efficiency, and (eventually) gzip support. (Back when we started,
Start work on an 0.2.9.1-alpha changelog (sort, fold, and reflow.)
2016-08-02 17:46:18 +02:00
zlib 1.1 and zlib 1.0 were still found in the wild. 1.2 was
released in 2003. We recommend the latest version.)
o Major features (build, hardening):
- Tor now builds with -ftrapv by default on compilers that support

2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
it. This option detects signed integer overflow (which C forbids),
and turns it into a hard-failure. We do not apply this option to
code that needs to run in constant time to avoid side-channels;
instead, we use -fwrapv in that code. Closes ticket 17983.

able to prove that there are none. Related to ticket 17983.

GCC-compatible). To make all warnings into fatal compilation
errors, pass --enable-fatal-warnings to configure. Closes
ticket 19044.
- Use the Autoconf macro AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to automatically

authorities generate a global fresh random value every day. In the
future, this value will be used by hidden services to select
HSDirs. This release implements the directory authority feature;
the hidden service side will be implemented in the future as part
of proposal 224. Resolves ticket 16943; implements proposal 250.
o Major features (downloading, random exponential backoff):
- When we fail to download an object from a directory service, wait
for an (exponentially increasing) randomized amount of time before
retrying, rather than a fixed interval as we did before. This
prevents a group of Tor instances from becoming too synchronized,
or a single Tor instance from becoming too predictable, in its
download schedule. Closes ticket 15942.

bind addresses, and local interface addresses in relay descriptors

o Minor features (build, hardening):

2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
- Detect and work around a libclang_rt problem that would prevent
clang from finding __mulodi4() on some 32-bit platforms, and thus
keep -ftrapv from linking on those systems. Closes ticket 19079.
- When building on a system without runtime support for the runtime
hardening options, try to log a useful warning at configuration
time, rather than an incomprehensible warning at link time. If
expensive hardening was requested, this warning becomes an error.

o Minor features (controller):
Edit changelog a little for clarity and conciseness
2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
- Implement new GETINFO queries for all downloads that use
download_status_t to schedule retries. This allows controllers to
examine the schedule for pending downloads. Closes ticket 19323.
- Allow controllers to configure basic client authorization on
hidden services when they create them with the ADD_ONION control
command. Implements ticket 15588. Patch by "special".
- Fire a STATUS_SERVER controller event whenever the hibernation
status changes between "awake"/"soft"/"hard". Closes ticket 18685.

2016-08-02 17:46:18 +02:00
o Minor features (directory authority):
- Directory authorities now only give the Guard flag to a relay if
they are also giving it the Stable flag. This change allows us to
Edit changelog a little for clarity and conciseness
2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
simplify path selection for clients. It should have minimal effect
in practice, since >99% of Guards already have the Stable flag.
Implements ticket 18624.
- Directory authorities now write their v3-status-votes file out to
disk earlier in the consensus process, so we have a record of the
votes even if we abort the consensus process. Resolves
ticket 19036.

o Minor features (infrastructure, time):
- Tor now uses the operating system's monotonic timers (where
available) for internal fine-grained timing. Previously we would
look at the system clock, and then attempt to compensate for the
clock running backwards. Closes ticket 18908.
Start work on an 0.2.9.1-alpha changelog (sort, fold, and reflow.)
2016-08-02 17:46:18 +02:00
- Tor now includes an improved timer backend, so that we can
efficiently support tens or hundreds of thousands of concurrent
timers, as will be needed for some of our planned anti-traffic-
analysis work. This code is based on William Ahern's "timeout.c"
project, which implements a "tickless hierarchical timing wheel".
Closes ticket 18365.

- Provide a more useful warning message when configured with an
invalid Nickname. Closes ticket 18300; patch from "icanhasaccount".

limit. You can change the size limit by setting the
MaxUnparseableDescSizeToLog option, and disable this feature by
setting that option to 0. Closes ticket 18322.

o Minor features (performance):

2016-08-08 18:28:29 +02:00
- Changer the "optimistic data" extension from "off by default" to
"on by default". The default was ordinarily overridden by a
consensus option, but when clients were bootstrapping for the
first time, they would not have a consensus to get the option
from. Changing this default When fetching a consensus for the
first time, use optimistic data. This saves a round-trip during
startup. Closes ticket 18815.

2016-08-02 17:46:18 +02:00
o Minor features (relay, usability):
- When the directory authorities refuse a bad relay's descriptor,
encourage the relay operator to contact us. Many relay operators
won't notice this line in their logs, but it's a win if even a few
learn why we don't like what their relay was doing. Resolves
ticket 18760.
o Minor features (testing):
- Let backtrace tests work correctly under AddressSanitizer. Fixes
part of bug 18934; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
- Move the test-network.sh script to chutney, and modify tor's test-
network.sh to call the (newer) chutney version when available.
Resolves ticket 19116. Patch by teor.
- Use the lcov convention for marking lines as unreachable, so that
we don't count them when we're generating test coverage data.
Update our coverage tools to understand this convention. Closes
ticket 16792.
o Minor bugfixes (bootstrap):
- Remember the directory we fetched the consensus or previous
certificates from, and use it to fetch future authority

o Minor bugfixes (documentation):
- Document the --passphrase-fd option in the tor manpage. Fixes bug
19504; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc.
- Fix the description of the --passphrase-fd option in the
tor-gencert manpage. The option is used to pass the number of a
file descriptor to read the passphrase from, not to read the file
descriptor from. Fixes bug 19505; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (ephemeral hidden service):
- When deleting an ephemeral hidden service, close its intro points

o Minor bugfixes (guard selection):
- Use a single entry guard even if the NumEntryGuards consensus
parameter is not provided. Fixes bug 17688; bugfix
on 0.2.5.6-alpha.
- Don't mark guards as unreachable if connection_connect() fails.
That function fails for local reasons, so it shouldn't reveal
anything about the status of the guard. Fixes bug 14334; bugfix

o Minor bugfixes (time):
- Improve overflow checks in tv_udiff and tv_mdiff. Fixes bug 19483;
bugfix on all released tor versions.
- When computing the difference between two times in milliseconds,
we now round to the nearest millisecond correctly. Previously, we
could sometimes round in the wrong direction. Fixes bug 19428;

- Split the 600-line directory_handle_command_get function into
separate functions for different URL types. Closes ticket 16698.
o Documentation:
- Fix spelling of "--enable-tor2web-mode" in the manpage. Closes
ticket 19153. Patch from "U+039b".
o Removed features:
- Remove support for "GET /tor/bytes.txt" DirPort request, and
"GETINFO dir-usage" controller request, which were only available
via a compile-time option in Tor anyway. Feature was added in
0.2.2.1-alpha. Resolves ticket 19035.
- There is no longer a compile-time option to disable support for
TransPort. (If you don't want TransPort; just don't use it.) Patch
from "U+039b". Closes ticket 19449.
o Testing:
- Run more workqueue tests as part of "make check". These had
previously been implemented, but you needed to know special
command-line options to enable them.
- We now have unit tests for our code to reject zlib "compression
bombs". (Fortunately, the code works fine.)

Forward-port 0.2.8.6 entry to changelog and releasenotes
2016-08-02 17:15:52 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.6 - 2016-08-02
Tor 0.2.8.6 is the first stable version of the Tor 0.2.8 series.
The Tor 0.2.8 series improves client bootstrapping performance,
completes the authority-side implementation of improved identity
keys for relays, and includes numerous bugfixes and performance
improvements throughout the program. This release continues to
improve the coverage of Tor's test suite. For a full list of
changes since Tor 0.2.7, see the ReleaseNotes file.
Changes since 0.2.8.5-rc:
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 6 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a compilation warning in the unit tests on systems where char
is signed. Fixes bug 19682; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories):
Rewrite the fallback directory mirror list changelog entries Mention fallback numbers, releases, and dates. This assists in tracking fallback attrition. Closes task 20242. Reported by arma.
2016-09-26 02:10:23 +02:00
- Remove 1 fallback that was on the hardcoded list, then opted-out,
leaving 89 of the 100 fallbacks originally introduced in Tor
0.2.8.2-alpha in March 2016. Closes ticket 19782; patch by teor.
Forward-port 0.2.8.6 entry to changelog and releasenotes
2016-08-02 17:15:52 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Allow more syscalls when running with "Sandbox 1" enabled:
sysinfo, getsockopt(SO_SNDBUF), and setsockopt(SO_SNDBUFFORCE). On
some systems, these are required for Tor to start. Fixes bug
18397; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
- Allow IPPROTO_UDP datagram sockets when running with "Sandbox 1",
so that get_interface_address6_via_udp_socket_hack() can work.
Fixes bug 19660; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
Forward-port the 0.2.8.5-rc changelog
2016-07-07 18:42:27 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.5-rc - 2016-07-07
Tor 0.2.8.5-rc is the second release candidate in the Tor 0.2.8
series. If we find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable
0.2.8 release will be identical to it. It has a few small bugfixes
against previous versions.
o Directory authority changes:
- Urras is no longer a directory authority. Closes ticket 19271.
o Major bugfixes (heartbeat):
- Fix a regression that would crash Tor when the periodic
"heartbeat" log messages were disabled. Fixes bug 19454; bugfix on
normalize version syntax in changelog

2016-07-07 18:42:27 +02:00
o Minor features (build):
- Tor now again builds with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development
branch (tested against 1.1.0-pre6-dev). Closes ticket 19499.
- When building manual pages, set the timezone to "UTC", so that the
output is reproducible. Fixes bug 19558; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
Patch from intrigeri.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directory selection):
- Avoid errors during fallback selection if there are no eligible
fallbacks. Fixes bug 19480; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha. Patch
by teor.
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, microdescriptors):
- Don't check node addresses when we only have a routerstatus. This
allows IPv6-only clients to bootstrap by fetching microdescriptors
from fallback directory mirrors. (The microdescriptor consensus
has no IPv6 addresses in it.) Fixes bug 19608; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Reduce pointlessly verbose log messages when directory servers
can't be found. Fixes bug 18849; bugfix on 0.2.8.3-alpha and
0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.
- When a fallback directory changes its fingerprint from the hard-
coded fingerprint, log a less severe, more explanatory log
message. Fixes bug 18812; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandboxing):
- Allow statistics to be written to disk when "Sandbox 1" is
enabled. Fixes bugs 19556 and 19957; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha and
0.2.6.1-alpha respectively.
o Minor bugfixes (user interface):
- Remove a warning message "Service [scrubbed] not found after
descriptor upload". This message appears when one uses HSPOST
control command to upload a service descriptor. Since there is
only a descriptor and no service, showing this message is
pointless and confusing. Fixes bug 19464; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Fallback directory list:
- Add a comment to the generated fallback directory list that
explains how to comment out unsuitable fallbacks in a way that's
compatible with the stem fallback parser.
- Update fallback whitelist and blacklist based on relay operator
emails. Blacklist unsuitable (non-working, over-volatile)
fallbacks. Resolves ticket 19071. Patch by teor.
Rewrite the fallback directory mirror list changelog entries Mention fallback numbers, releases, and dates. This assists in tracking fallback attrition. Closes task 20242. Reported by arma.
2016-09-26 02:10:23 +02:00
- Remove 10 unsuitable fallbacks, leaving 90 of the 100 fallbacks
originally introduced in Tor 0.2.8.2-alpha in March 2016. Closes

Tor 0.2.8.4-rc is the first release candidate in the Tor 0.2.8 series.
If we find no new bugs or regressions here, the first stable 0.2.8
release will be identical to it. It has a few small bugfixes against
previous versions.
o Major bugfixes (user interface):
- Correctly give a warning in the cases where a relay is specified
by nickname, and one such relay is found, but it is not officially
Named. Fixes bug 19203; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
o Minor features (build):
- Tor now builds once again with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development
branch (tested against 1.1.0-pre5 and 1.1.0-pre6-dev).
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the June 7 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Cause the unit tests to compile correctly on mingw64 versions that
lack sscanf. Fixes bug 19213; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (downloading):
- Predict more correctly whether we'll be downloading over HTTP when
we determine the maximum length of a URL. This should avoid a
"BUG" warning about the Squid HTTP proxy and its URL limits. Fixes
bug 19191.
Forward-port the 0.2.8.3-alpha changelog
2016-05-27 03:06:42 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.8.3-alpha - 2016-05-26
Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha resolves several bugs, most of them introduced over
the course of the 0.2.8 development cycle. It improves the behavior of
directory clients, fixes several crash bugs, fixes a gap in compiler
hardening, and allows the full integration test suite to run on
more platforms.
o Major bugfixes (security, client, DNS proxy):
- Stop a crash that could occur when a client running with DNSPort
received a query with multiple address types, and the first
address type was not supported. Found and fixed by Scott Dial.
Fixes bug 18710; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, compilation):
- Correctly detect compiler flags on systems where _FORTIFY_SOURCE
is predefined. Previously, our use of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE would
cause a compiler warning, thereby making other checks fail, and
needlessly disabling compiler-hardening support. Fixes one case of
bug 18841; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta. Patch from "trudokal".
o Major bugfixes (security, directory authorities):
- Fix a crash and out-of-bounds write during authority voting, when
the list of relays includes duplicate ed25519 identity keys. Fixes
bug 19032; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (client, bootstrapping):
- Check if bootstrap consensus downloads are still needed when the
linked connection attaches. This prevents tor making unnecessary
begindir-style connections, which are the only directory
connections tor clients make since the fix for 18483 was merged.
- Fix some edge cases where consensus download connections may not
have been closed, even though they were not needed. Related to fix
for 18809.
- Make relays retry consensus downloads the correct number of times,
rather than the more aggressive client retry count. Fixes part of
ticket 18809.
- Stop downloading consensuses when we have a consensus, even if we
don't have all the certificates for it yet. Fixes bug 18809;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patches by arma and teor.
o Major bugfixes (directory mirrors):
- Decide whether to advertise begindir support in the the same way
we decide whether to advertise our DirPort. Allowing these
decisions to become out-of-sync led to surprising behavior like
advertising begindir support when hibernation made us not
advertise a DirPort. Resolves bug 18616; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
Patch by teor.
o Major bugfixes (IPv6 bridges, client):
- Actually use IPv6 addresses when selecting directory addresses for
IPv6 bridges. Fixes bug 18921; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch
by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (key management):
- If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling
pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here
should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is
running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or
if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on
0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and
Baishakhi Ray.
o Major bugfixes (testing):
- Fix a bug that would block 'make test-network-all' on systems where
normalize version syntax in changelog

Forward-port the 0.2.8.3-alpha changelog
2016-05-27 03:06:42 +02:00
- Avoid "WSANOTINITIALISED" warnings in the unit tests. Fixes bug 18668;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor features (clients):
- Make clients, onion services, and bridge relays always use an
encrypted begindir connection for directory requests. Resolves
ticket 18483. Patch by "teor".
o Minor features (fallback directory mirrors):
- Give each fallback the same weight for client selection; restrict
fallbacks to one per operator; report fallback directory detail
changes when rebuilding list; add new fallback directory mirrors
Rewrite the fallback directory mirror list changelog entries Mention fallback numbers, releases, and dates. This assists in tracking fallback attrition. Closes task 20242. Reported by arma.

Tor 0.2.8.1-alpha, with a list of 100 fallbacks generated in March
2016. Closes task 17158; patch by "teor".

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the May 4 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (assert, portability):
- Fix an assertion failure in memarea.c on systems where "long" is
shorter than the size of a pointer. Fixes bug 18716; bugfix
on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (bootstrap):
- Consistently use the consensus download schedule for authority
certificates. Fixes bug 18816; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- Remove a pair of redundant AM_CONDITIONAL declarations from
configure.ac. Fixes one final case of bug 17744; bugfix
on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
- Resolve warnings when building on systems that are concerned with
signed char. Fixes bug 18728; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha
and 0.2.6.1-alpha.
- When libscrypt.h is found, but no libscrypt library can be linked,
treat libscrypt as absent. Fixes bug 19161; bugfix
on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- Turn all TestingClientBootstrap* into non-testing torrc options.
This changes simply renames them by removing "Testing" in front of
them and they do not require TestingTorNetwork to be enabled
anymore. Fixes bug 18481; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Make directory node selection more reliable, mainly for IPv6-only
clients and clients with few reachable addresses. Fixes bug 18929;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (controller, microdescriptors):
- Make GETINFO dir/status-vote/current/consensus conform to the
control specification by returning "551 Could not open cached
consensus..." when not caching consensuses. Fixes bug 18920;
bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (crypto, portability):
- The SHA3 and SHAKE routines now produce the correct output on Big
Endian systems. No code calls either algorithm yet, so this is
primarily a build fix. Fixes bug 18943; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Tor now builds again with the recent OpenSSL 1.1 development
branch (tested against 1.1.0-pre4 and 1.1.0-pre5-dev). Closes
ticket 18286.
o Minor bugfixes (directories):
- When fetching extrainfo documents, compare their SHA256 digests
and Ed25519 signing key certificates with the routerinfo that led
us to fetch them, rather than with the most recent routerinfo.
Otherwise we generate many spurious warnings about mismatches.
Fixes bug 17150; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- When we can't generate a signing key because OfflineMasterKey is
set, do not imply that we should have been able to load it. Fixes
bug 18133; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Stop periodic_event_dispatch() from blasting twelve lines per
second at loglevel debug. Fixes bug 18729; fix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- When rejecting a misformed INTRODUCE2 cell, only log at
PROTOCOL_WARN severity. Fixes bug 18761; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
- Avoid reporting a spurious error when we decide that we don't need
to terminate a pluggable transport because it has already exited.
Fixes bug 18686; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pointer arithmetic):
- Fix a bug in memarea_alloc() that could have resulted in remote
heap write access, if Tor had ever passed an unchecked size to
memarea_alloc(). Fortunately, all the sizes we pass to
memarea_alloc() are pre-checked to be less than 128 kilobytes.
Fixes bug 19150; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha. Bug found by
Guido Vranken.
o Minor bugfixes (relays):
- Consider more config options when relays decide whether to
regenerate their descriptor. Fixes more of bug 12538; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
- Resolve some edge cases where we might launch an ORPort
reachability check even when DisableNetwork is set. Noticed while
fixing bug 18616; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (statistics):
- We now include consensus downloads via IPv6 in our directory-
request statistics. Fixes bug 18460; bugfix on 0.2.3.14-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Allow directories in small networks to bootstrap by skipping
DirPort checks when the consensus has no exits. Fixes bug 19003;
bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch by teor.
- Fix a small memory leak that would occur when the
TestingEnableCellStatsEvent option was turned on. Fixes bug 18673;
bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (time handling):
- When correcting a corrupt 'struct tm' value, fill in the tm_wday
field. Otherwise, our unit tests crash on Windows. Fixes bug
18977; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
o Documentation:
- Document the contents of the 'datadir/keys' subdirectory in the
manual page. Closes ticket 17621.
- Stop recommending use of nicknames to identify relays in our
MapAddress documentation. Closes ticket 18312.

Tor 0.2.8.2-alpha is the second alpha in its series. It fixes numerous
bugs in earlier versions of Tor, including some that prevented

directory support should also be much improved.

2016-03-21 16:18:15 +01:00
o New system requirements:
- Tor no longer supports versions of OpenSSL with a broken

implementation of counter mode. (This bug was present in OpenSSL
1.0.0, and was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.0a.) Tor still detects, but no
longer runs with, these versions.
- Tor no longer attempts to support platforms where the "time_t"
type is unsigned. (To the best of our knowledge, only OpenVMS does
this, and Tor has never actually built on OpenVMS.) Closes
ticket 18184.
Light editing and moving on the changelog
2016-03-28 15:29:01 +02:00
- Tor now uses Autoconf version 2.63 or later, and Automake 1.11 or
later (released in 2008 and 2009 respectively). If you are
building Tor from the git repository instead of from the source
distribution, and your tools are older than this, you will need to
upgrade. Closes ticket 17732.

on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
Reflow the 0282 changelog
2016-03-28 15:29:17 +02:00
- When collating votes by Ed25519 identities, authorities now
include a "NoEdConsensus" flag if the ed25519 value (or lack
thereof) for a server does not reflect the majority consensus.
Related to bug 17668; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When generating a vote with keypinning disabled, never include two
entries for the same ed25519 identity. This bug was causing
authorities to generate votes that they could not parse when a
router violated key pinning by changing its RSA identity but
keeping its Ed25519 identity. Fixes bug 17668; fixes part of bug

- Streamline relay-side hsdir handling: when relays consider whether
to accept an uploaded hidden service descriptor, they no longer
check whether they are one of the relays in the network that is
"supposed" to handle that descriptor. Implements ticket 18332.
o Minor features (IPv6):
- Add ClientPreferIPv6DirPort, which is set to 0 by default. If set
to 1, tor prefers IPv6 directory addresses.
- Add ClientUseIPv4, which is set to 1 by default. If set to 0, tor
avoids using IPv4 for client OR and directory connections.

- Handle the case where the user makes several fast consecutive
requests to the same .onion address. Previously, the first six
requests would each trigger a descriptor fetch, each picking a
directory (there are 6 overall) and the seventh one would fail
because no directories were left, thereby triggering a close on
all current directory connections asking for the hidden service.

- When Tor starts as root on Linux and is told to switch user ID, it
can now retain the capability to bind to low ports. By default,
Tor will do this only when it's switching user ID and some low
ports have been configured. You can change this behavior with the
new option KeepBindCapabilities. Closes ticket 8195.

2016-02-04 19:35:40 +01:00
- When bootstrapping multiple consensus downloads at a time, use the
first one that starts downloading, and close the rest. This
reduces failures when authorities or fallback directories are slow
or down. Together with the code for feature 15775, this feature
should reduces failures due to fallback churn. Implements ticket
4483. Patch by "teor". Implements IPv4 portions of proposal 210 by
"mikeperry" and "teor".
Rewrite the fallback directory mirror list changelog entries Mention fallback numbers, releases, and dates. This assists in tracking fallback attrition. Closes task 20242. Reported by arma.

- Include a trial list of 21 default fallback directories, generated
in January 2016, based on an opt-in survey of suitable relays.
Doing this should make clients bootstrap more quickly and reliably,
and reduce the load on the directory authorities. Closes ticket

Changes in version 0.2.7.6 - 2015-12-10
Tor version 0.2.7.6 fixes a major bug in entry guard selection, as
well as a minor bug in hidden service reliability.
o Major bugfixes (guard selection):
- Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new directory
guard. When we implemented the directory guard design, we
accidentally started treating all relays as if they have the Guard
flag during guard selection, leading to weaker anonymity and worse
performance. Fixes bug 17772; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Discovered
by Mohsen Imani.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the December 1 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- When checking for net/pfvar.h, include netinet/in.h if possible.
This fixes transparent proxy detection on OpenBSD. Fixes bug
17551; bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. Patch from "rubiate".
- Fix a compilation warning with Clang 3.6: Do not check the
presence of an address which can never be NULL. Fixes bug 17781.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness):
- When displaying an IPv6 exit policy, include the mask bits
correctly even when the number is greater than 31. Fixes bug
16056; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha. Patch from "gturner".
- The wrong list was used when looking up expired intro points in a
rend service object, causing what we think could be reachability
issues for hidden services, and triggering a BUG log. Fixes bug
16702; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Fix undefined behavior in the tor_cert_checksig function. Fixes
bug 17722; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
Changes in version 0.2.7.5 - 2015-11-20
The Tor 0.2.7 release series is dedicated to the memory of Tor user
and privacy advocate Caspar Bowden (1961-2015). Caspar worked
tirelessly to advocate human rights regardless of national borders,
and oppose the encroachments of mass surveillance. He opposed national
exceptionalism, he brought clarity to legal and policy debates, he
understood and predicted the impact of mass surveillance on the world,
and he laid the groundwork for resisting it. While serving on the Tor
Project's board of directors, he brought us his uncompromising focus
on technical excellence in the service of humankind. Caspar was an
inimitable force for good and a wonderful friend. He was kind,
humorous, generous, gallant, and believed we should protect one
another without exception. We honor him here for his ideals, his

Tor 0.2.7.5 is the first stable release in the Tor 0.2.7 series.
The 0.2.7 series adds a more secure identity key type for relays,
improves cryptography performance, resolves several longstanding
hidden-service performance issues, improves controller support for
hidden services, and includes small bugfixes and performance
improvements throughout the program. This release series also includes
more tests than before, and significant simplifications to which parts
of Tor invoke which others.
(This release contains no code changes since 0.2.7.4-rc.)

Changes in version 0.2.7.4-rc - 2015-10-21
Tor 0.2.7.4-rc is the second release candidate in the 0.2.7 series. It
fixes some important memory leaks, and a scary-looking (but mostly
harmless in practice) invalid-read bug. It also has a few small
bugfixes, notably fixes for compilation and portability on different
platforms. If no further significant bounds are found, the next
release will the the official stable release.
o Major bugfixes (security, correctness):
- Fix an error that could cause us to read 4 bytes before the
beginning of an openssl string. This bug could be used to cause
Tor to crash on systems with unusual malloc implementations, or
systems with unusual hardening installed. Fixes bug 17404; bugfix
on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (correctness):
- Fix a use-after-free bug in validate_intro_point_failure(). Fixes
bug 17401; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc.
o Major bugfixes (memory leaks):
- Fix a memory leak in ed25519 batch signature checking. Fixes bug
17398; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak in rend_cache_failure_entry_free(). Fixes bug
17402; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc.
- Fix a memory leak when reading an expired signing key from disk.
Fixes bug 17403; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-rc.
o Minor features (geoIP):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 9 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Repair compilation with the most recent (unreleased, alpha)
vesions of OpenSSL 1.1. Fixes part of ticket 17237.
- Fix an integer overflow warning in test_crypto_slow.c. Fixes bug
17251; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- Fix compilation of sandbox.c with musl-libc. Fixes bug 17347;
bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from 'jamestk'.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Use libexecinfo on FreeBSD to enable backtrace support. Fixes
part of bug 17151; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha. Patch from
Marcin Cieślak.
o Minor bugfixes (sandbox):
- Add the "hidserv-stats" filename to our sandbox filter for the
HiddenServiceStatistics option to work properly. Fixes bug 17354;

2015-10-21 21:34:30 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Add unit tests for get_interface_address* failure cases. Fixes bug
17173; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc. Patch by fk/teor.
- Fix breakage when running 'make check' with BSD make. Fixes bug
17154; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc. Patch by Marcin Cieślak.
- Make the get_ifaddrs_* unit tests more tolerant of different
network configurations. (Don't assume every test box has an IPv4
address, and don't assume every test box has a non-localhost
address.) Fixes bug 17255; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc. Patch by "teor".
- Skip backtrace tests when backtrace support is not compiled in.
Fixes part of bug 17151; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha. Patch from
Marcin Cieślak.
o Documentation:
- Fix capitalization of SOCKS in sample torrc. Closes ticket 15609.
- Note that HiddenServicePorts can take a unix domain socket. Closes
ticket 17364.

Changelog: more clarity and fixing
2015-09-24 20:08:30 +02:00
- Hidden services, if using the EntryNodes option, are required to
use more than one EntryNode, in order to avoid a guard discovery
attack. (This would only affect people who had configured hidden
services and manually specified the EntryNodes option with a
single entry-node. The impact was that it would be easy to
remotely identify the guard node used by such a hidden service.
See ticket for more information.) Fixes ticket 14917.

where the user's intent is likely to differ from Tor's actual

including any ExitPolicy lines after accept *:* or reject *:*.

TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir[IsStrict], which suggested that a HSDir
required "ORPort connectivity". While this is true, it is in no
way unique to the HSDir flag. Of all the flags, only HSDirs need a
DirPort configured in order for the authorities to assign that
particular flag. Patch by "teor". Fixed as part of 14882; bugfix

o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Change the function that's called when we need to retry all
downloads so that it only reschedules the downloads to happen
immediately, rather than launching them all at once itself. This
further simplifies Tor's callgraph.
- Move some format-parsing functions out of crypto.c and
crypto_curve25519.c into crypto_format.c and/or util_format.c.
- Move the client-only parts of init_keys() into a separate
function. Closes ticket 16763.
- Simplify the microdesc_free() implementation so that it no longer
appears (to code analysis tools) to potentially invoke a huge
suite of other microdesc functions.
- Simply the control graph further by deferring the inner body of
directory_all_unreachable() into a callback. Closes ticket 16762.
- Treat the loss of an owning controller as equivalent to a SIGTERM
signal. This removes a tiny amount of duplicated code, and
Changelog: more clarity and fixing

simplifies our callgraph. Closes ticket 16788.
Fold changes files into changelog

- When generating an event to send to the controller, we no longer
put the event over the network immediately. Instead, we queue
these events, and use a Libevent callback to deliver them. This
change simplifies Tor's callgraph by reducing the number of
functions from which all other Tor functions are reachable. Closes
ticket 16695.

- Remove the code that would try to aggressively flush controller
connections while writing to them. This code was introduced in
0.1.2.7-alpha, in order to keep output buffers from exceeding
their limits. But there is no longer a maximum output buffer size,
and flushing data in this way caused some undesirable recursions
in our call graph. Closes ticket 16480.

Bump version to 0.2.7.2-alpha-dev
2015-07-27 19:59:49 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.7.2-alpha - 2015-07-27
This, the second alpha in the Tor 0.2.7 series, has a number of new
features, including a way to manually pick the number of introduction
points for hidden services, and the much stronger Ed25519 signing key
algorithm for regular Tor relays (including support for encrypted
offline identity keys in the new algorithm).
Move around and reformat items in 0.2.7.2-alpha changelog
2015-07-22 19:34:54 +02:00
Support for Ed25519 on relays is currently limited to signing router
descriptors; later alphas in this series will extend Ed25519 key
support to more parts of the Tor protocol.
o Major features (Ed25519 identity keys, Proposal 220):
Add the remaining changes items to ChangeLog for 0.2.7.2-alpha
2015-07-16 22:06:25 +02:00
- All relays now maintain a stronger identity key, using the Ed25519
elliptic curve signature format. This master key is designed so
that it can be kept offline. Relays also generate an online
signing key, and a set of other Ed25519 keys and certificates.
These are all automatically regenerated and rotated as needed.

- Relay descriptors now include signatures of their own identity
keys, made using the TAP and ntor onion keys. These signatures
allow relays to prove ownership of their own onion keys. Because
of this change, microdescriptors will no longer need to include
RSA identity keys. Implements proposal 228; closes ticket 12499.

- Stop refusing to store updated hidden service descriptors on a
client. This reverts commit 9407040c59218 (which indeed fixed bug
14219, but introduced a major hidden service reachability
regression detailed in bug 16381). This is a temporary fix since

o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- When cannibalizing a circuit for an introduction point, always
extend to the chosen exit node (creating a 4 hop circuit).
Previously Tor would use the current circuit exit node, which
changed the original choice of introduction point, and could cause
the hidden service to skip excluded introduction points or
reconnect to a skipped introduction point. Fixes bug 16260; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.

- The link authentication code has been refactored for better
testability and reliability. It now uses code generated with the

- Now that OpenSSL has its own scrypt implementation, add an unit
test that checks for interoperability between libscrypt_scrypt()
and OpenSSL's EVP_PBE_scrypt() so that we could not use libscrypt
and rely on EVP_PBE_scrypt() whenever possible. Resolves
ticket 16189.

Changes in version 0.2.6.10 - 2015-07-12
Tor version 0.2.6.10 fixes some significant stability and hidden
service client bugs, bulletproofs the cryptography init process, and
fixes a bug when using the sandbox code with some older versions of
Linux. Everyone running an older version, especially an older version
of 0.2.6, should upgrade.
o Major bugfixes (hidden service clients, stability):
- Stop refusing to store updated hidden service descriptors on a
client. This reverts commit 9407040c59218 (which indeed fixed bug
14219, but introduced a major hidden service reachability
regression detailed in bug 16381). This is a temporary fix since
we can live with the minor issue in bug 14219 (it just results in
some load on the network) but the regression of 16381 is too much
of a setback. First-round fix for bug 16381; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (stability):
- Stop crashing with an assertion failure when parsing certain kinds
of malformed or truncated microdescriptors. Fixes bug 16400;
bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Found by "torkeln"; fix based on a patch
by "cypherpunks_backup".
- Stop random client-side assertion failures that could occur when
connecting to a busy hidden service, or connecting to a hidden
service while a NEWNYM is in progress. Fixes bug 16013; bugfix
on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
- Update geoip6 to the June 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (crypto error-handling):
- Check for failures from crypto_early_init, and refuse to continue.
A previous typo meant that we could keep going with an
uninitialized crypto library, and would have OpenSSL initialize
its own PRNG. Fixes bug 16360; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha, introduced
when implementing ticket 4900. Patch by "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Allow pipe() and pipe2() syscalls in the seccomp2 sandbox: we need
these when eventfd2() support is missing. Fixes bug 16363; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from "teor".

fwd-port 0.2.6.9 changes
2015-06-10 19:58:20 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.6.9 - 2015-06-11
Tor 0.2.6.9 fixes a regression in the circuit isolation code, increases the
requirements for receiving an HSDir flag, and addresses some other small
bugs in the systemd and sandbox code. Clients using circuit isolation
should upgrade; all directory authorities should upgrade.
o Major bugfixes (client-side privacy):
- Properly separate out each SOCKSPort when applying stream

isolation. The error occurred because each port's session group was
fwd-port 0.2.6.9 changes
2015-06-10 19:58:20 +02:00
being overwritten by a default value when the listener connection
was initialized. Fixes bug 16247; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch
by "jojelino".
o Minor feature (directory authorities, security):
- The HSDir flag given by authorities now requires the Stable flag.
For the current network, this results in going from 2887 to 2806
HSDirs. Also, it makes it harder for an attacker to launch a sybil
attack by raising the effort for a relay to become Stable which
takes at the very least 7 days to do so and by keeping the 96
hours uptime requirement for HSDir. Implements ticket 8243.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Build with --enable-systemd correctly when libsystemd is
installed, but systemd is not. Fixes bug 16164; bugfix on
0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch from Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Fix sandboxing to work when running as a relaymby renaming of
secret_id_key, and allowing the eventfd2 and futex syscalls. Fixes
bug 16244; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Patch by Peter Palfrader.
- Allow systemd connections to work with the Linux seccomp2 sandbox
code. Fixes bug 16212; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Patch by
Peter Palfrader.
o Minor bugfixes (tests):
- Fix a crash in the unit tests when built with MSVC2013. Fixes bug
16030; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Patch from "NewEraCracker".

Changes in version 0.2.6.8 - 2015-05-21
Tor 0.2.6.8 fixes a bit of dodgy code in parsing INTRODUCE2 cells, and
fixes an authority-side bug in assigning the HSDir flag. All directory
authorities should upgrade.

recent enough Clang.
o Minor bugfixes (network):
- When attempting to use fallback technique for network interface
lookup, disregard loopback and multicast addresses since they are
unsuitable for public communications.
o Minor bugfixes (statistics):
- Disregard the ConnDirectionStatistics torrc options when Tor is
not a relay since in that mode of operation no sensible data is
being collected and because Tor might run into measurement hiccups
when running as a client for some time, then becoming a relay.

2015-04-06 16:01:44 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.27 - 2015-04-06
Tor 0.2.4.27 backports two fixes from 0.2.6.7 for security issues that
could be used by an attacker to crash hidden services, or crash clients
visiting hidden services. Hidden services should upgrade as soon as
possible; clients should upgrade whenever packages become available.
This release also backports a simple improvement to make hidden
services a bit less vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks.
o Major bugfixes (security, hidden service):
- Fix an issue that would allow a malicious client to trigger an
assertion failure and halt a hidden service. Fixes bug 15600;
bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha. Reported by "disgleirio".
- Fix a bug that could cause a client to crash with an assertion
failure when parsing a malformed hidden service descriptor. Fixes
bug 15601; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by "DonnchaC".
o Minor features (DoS-resistance, hidden service):
0.2.5.12 got left out of the changelog somehow
2016-03-07 19:05:40 +01:00
- Introduction points no longer allow multiple INTRODUCE1 cells to
arrive on the same circuit. This should make it more expensive for
attackers to overwhelm hidden services with introductions.
Resolves ticket 15515.
Changes in version 0.2.5.12 - 2015-04-06
Tor 0.2.5.12 backports two fixes from 0.2.6.7 for security issues that

Resolves ticket 15515.
Changes in version 0.2.6.7 - 2015-04-06
Tor 0.2.6.7 fixes two security issues that could be used by an
attacker to crash hidden services, or crash clients visiting hidden
services. Hidden services should upgrade as soon as possible; clients
should upgrade whenever packages become available.
This release also contains two simple improvements to make hidden

Resolves ticket 15515.
- Decrease the amount of reattempts that a hidden service performs
when its rendezvous circuits fail. This reduces the computational
cost for running a hidden service under heavy load. Resolves
ticket 11447.
Forward-port changelog and release notes for 0.2.6.6
2015-03-25 19:13:52 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.6.6 - 2015-03-24
Tor 0.2.6.6 is the first stable release in the 0.2.6 series.
It adds numerous safety, security, correctness, and performance
improvements. Client programs can be configured to use more kinds of
sockets, AutomapHosts works better, the multithreading backend is
improved, cell transmission is refactored, test coverage is much
higher, more denial-of-service attacks are handled, guard selection is
improved to handle long-term guards better, pluggable transports
should work a bit better, and some annoying hidden service performance
bugs should be addressed.
o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- Use the correct datatype in the SipHash-2-4 function to prevent
compilers from assuming any sort of alignment. Fixes bug 15436;
bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
forward-port 0.2.6.5-rc changelog.
2015-03-18 21:30:08 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.6.5-rc - 2015-03-18
Tor 0.2.6.5-rc is the second and (hopefully) last release candidate in
the 0.2.6. It fixes a small number of bugs found in 0.2.6.4-rc.
o Major bugfixes (client):
- Avoid crashing when making certain configuration option changes on
clients. Fixes bug 15245; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Reported
by "anonym".
o Major bugfixes (pluggable transports):
- Initialize the extended OR Port authentication cookie before
launching pluggable transports. This prevents a race condition

15240; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (portability):
- Do not crash on startup when running on Solaris. Fixes a bug
related to our fix for 9495; bugfix on 0.2.6.1-alpha. Reported
by "ruebezahl".
o Minor features (heartbeat):
- On relays, report how many connections we negotiated using each
version of the Tor link protocols. This information will let us
know if removing support for very old versions of the Tor
protocols is harming the network. Closes ticket 15212.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Refactor main loop to extract the 'loop' part. This makes it
easier to run Tor under Shadow. Closes ticket 15176.

Changes in version 0.2.5.11 - 2015-03-17
Tor 0.2.5.11 is the second stable release in the 0.2.5 series.
It backports several bugfixes from the 0.2.6 branch, including a
couple of medium-level security fixes for relays and exit nodes.
It also updates the list of directory authorities.
o Directory authority changes:
- Remove turtles as a directory authority.
- Add longclaw as a new (v3) directory authority. This implements
ticket 13296. This keeps the directory authority count at 9.
- The directory authority Faravahar has a new IP address. This
closes ticket 14487.
o Major bugfixes (crash, OSX, security):
- Fix a remote denial-of-service opportunity caused by a bug in
OSX's _strlcat_chk() function. Fixes bug 15205; bug first appeared
in OSX 10.9.
o Major bugfixes (relay, stability, possible security):
- Fix a bug that could lead to a relay crashing with an assertion
failure if a buffer of exactly the wrong layout was passed to
buf_pullup() at exactly the wrong time. Fixes bug 15083; bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha. Patch from 'cypherpunks'.
- Do not assert if the 'data' pointer on a buffer is advanced to the
very end of the buffer; log a BUG message instead. Only assert if
it is past that point. Fixes bug 15083; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (exit node stability):
- Fix an assertion failure that could occur under high DNS load.
Fixes bug 14129; bugfix on Tor 0.0.7rc1. Found by "jowr";
diagnosed and fixed by "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Upon receiving sighup with the seccomp2 sandbox enabled, do not
crash during attempts to call wait4. Fixes bug 15088; bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from "sanic".
o Minor features (controller):
- New "GETINFO bw-event-cache" to get information about recent
bandwidth events. Closes ticket 14128. Useful for controllers to
get recent bandwidth history after the fix for ticket 13988.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip to the March 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
- Update geoip6 to the March 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (client, automapping):
- Avoid crashing on torrc lines for VirtualAddrNetworkIPv[4|6] when
no value follows the option. Fixes bug 14142; bugfix on
0.2.4.7-alpha. Patch by "teor".
- Fix a memory leak when using AutomapHostsOnResolve. Fixes bug
14195; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Build without warnings with the stock OpenSSL srtp.h header, which
has a duplicate declaration of SSL_get_selected_srtp_profile().
Fixes bug 14220; this is OpenSSL's bug, not ours.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authority):
- Allow directory authorities to fetch more data from one another if
they find themselves missing lots of votes. Previously, they had
been bumping against the 10 MB queued data limit. Fixes bug 14261;
bugfix on 0.1.2.5-alpha.
- Enlarge the buffer to read bwauth generated files to avoid an
issue when parsing the file in dirserv_read_measured_bandwidths().
Fixes bug 14125; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (statistics):
- Increase period over which bandwidth observations are aggregated
from 15 minutes to 4 hours. Fixes bug 13988; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
o Minor bugfixes (preventative security, C safety):
- When reading a hexadecimal, base-32, or base-64 encoded value from
a string, always overwrite the whole output buffer. This prevents
some bugs where we would look at (but fortunately, not reveal)
uninitialized memory on the stack. Fixes bug 14013; bugfix on all
versions of Tor.
Changes in version 0.2.4.26 - 2015-03-17
Tor 0.2.4.26 includes an updated list of directory authorities. It
also backports a couple of stability and security bugfixes from 0.2.5
and beyond.
o Directory authority changes:
- Remove turtles as a directory authority.
- Add longclaw as a new (v3) directory authority. This implements
ticket 13296. This keeps the directory authority count at 9.
- The directory authority Faravahar has a new IP address. This
closes ticket 14487.
o Major bugfixes (exit node stability, also in 0.2.6.3-alpha):
- Fix an assertion failure that could occur under high DNS load.
Fixes bug 14129; bugfix on Tor 0.0.7rc1. Found by "jowr";
diagnosed and fixed by "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (relay, stability, possible security, also in 0.2.6.4-rc):
- Fix a bug that could lead to a relay crashing with an assertion
failure if a buffer of exactly the wrong layout was passed to
buf_pullup() at exactly the wrong time. Fixes bug 15083; bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha. Patch from 'cypherpunks'.
- Do not assert if the 'data' pointer on a buffer is advanced to the
very end of the buffer; log a BUG message instead. Only assert if
it is past that point. Fixes bug 15083; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip to the March 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country database.
- Update geoip6 to the March 3 2015 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.

"TransProxyType ipfw" is in use. Fixes bug 15064; bugfix
on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox):
- Pass IPPROTO_TCP rather than 0 to socket(), so that the Linux
seccomp2 sandbox doesn't fail. Fixes bug 14989; bugfix
on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
- Allow AF_UNIX hidden services to be used with the seccomp2
sandbox. Fixes bug 15003; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
- Upon receiving sighup with the seccomp2 sandbox enabled, do not
crash during attempts to call wait4. Fixes bug 15088; bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from "sanic".
o Minor features (controller):
- Messages about problems in the bootstrap process now include
information about the server we were trying to connect to when we
noticed the problem. Closes ticket 15006.

with a future publication time, do not discard its real signing
certificates. Fixes bug 11457; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Remove any old authority certificates that have been superseded
for at least two days. Previously, we would keep superseded

python binary. Fixes bug 15037; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Patch
from "cypherpunks".
- When running the zero-length-keys tests, do not use the default
torrc file. Fixes bug 15033; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. Reported
by "reezer".
o Directory authority IP change:
- The directory authority Faravahar has a new IP address. This
closes ticket 14487.
o Removed code:
- Remove some lingering dead code that once supported mempools.
Mempools were disabled by default in 0.2.5, and removed entirely
in 0.2.6.3-alpha. Closes more of ticket 14848; patch
by "cypherpunks".

server, we no longer launch multiple simultaneous requests to the
same server. This reduces load on the directory servers,
especially when directory guards are in use. Closes ticket 9969.
- When downloading server- or microdescriptors over a tunneled
connection, do not limit the length of our requests to what the
Squid proxy is willing to handle. Part of ticket 9969.
- Authorities can now vote on the correct digests and latest
versions for different software packages. This allows packages
that include Tor to use the Tor authority system as a way to get
notified of updates and their correct digests. Implements proposal
227. Closes ticket 10395.

o Major features (guards):
- Introduce the Guardfraction feature to improves load balancing on
guard nodes. Specifically, it aims to reduce the traffic gap that
guard nodes experience when they first get the Guard flag. This is
a required step if we want to increase the guard lifetime to 9
months or greater. Closes ticket 9321.

2015-02-19 15:54:00 +01:00
o Major features (performance):
- Make the CPU worker implementation more efficient by avoiding the
kernel and lengthening pipelines. The original implementation used
sockets to transfer data from the main thread to the workers, and
didn't allow any thread to be assigned more than a single piece of
work at once. The new implementation avoids communications
overhead by making requests in shared memory, avoiding kernel IO
where possible, and keeping more requests in flight at once.
Implements ticket 9682.
o Major features (relay):
- Raise the minimum acceptable configured bandwidth rate for bridges
to 50 KiB/sec and for relays to 75 KiB/sec. (The old values were
20 KiB/sec.) Closes ticket 13822.

Tor 0.2.6.2-alpha is the second alpha release in the 0.2.6.x series.
Pick a date, write a blurb.
2014-12-31 14:45:01 +01:00
It introduces a major new backend for deciding when to send cells on
channels, which should lead down the road to big performance
increases. It contains security and statistics features for better
work on hidden services, and numerous bugfixes.
This release contains many new unit tests, along with major
performance improvements for running testing networks using Chutney.
Thanks to a series of patches contributed by "teor", testing networks
should now bootstrap in seconds, rather than minutes.

hidden service usage. Specifically, when this option is turned on,
an HSDir will publish an approximate number of hidden services
that have published descriptors to it the past 24 hours. Also, if
a relay has acted as a hidden service rendezvous point, it will
publish the approximate amount of rendezvous cells it has relayed
the past 24 hours. The statistics themselves are obfuscated so
that the exact values cannot be derived. For more details see
proposal 238, "Better hidden service stats from Tor relays". This
feature is currently disabled by default. Implements feature 13192.

- Avoid building exit circuits from a consensus with no exits. Now
thanks to our fix for 13718, we accept a no-exit network as not
wholly lost, but we need to remember not to try to build exit
circuits on it. Closes ticket 13814; patch by "teor".

ignore exit bandwidthcapacity. This assists in bootstrapping a
testing Tor network. Fixes parts of bugs 13718 and 13839; bugfix
on 0.2.0.3-alpha. Patch by "teor".
- Add "internal" to some bootstrap statuses when no exits are
available. If the consensus does not contain Exits, Tor will only
build internal circuits. In this case, relevant statuses will

Add a draft blurb for 0.2.6.1-alpha
2014-10-29 15:24:13 +01:00
Tor 0.2.6.1-alpha is the first release in the Tor 0.2.6.x series. It
includes numerous code cleanups and new tests, and fixes a large
number of annoying bugs. Out-of-memory conditions are handled better
than in 0.2.5, pluggable transports have improved proxy support, and

clients now use optimistic data for contacting hidden services. Also,

2014-10-29 15:24:13 +01:00
we are now more robust to changes in what we consider a parseable
directory object, so that tightening restrictions does not have a risk
of introducing infinite download loops.
Final(?) tweaks to 0.2.6.1-alpha changelog
2014-10-30 13:54:44 +01:00
This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to be
bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should stay
with 0.2.5.x for now.
Reinvoke format_changelog.py Also, tweak it so that it puts major deprecations and requirements early in the changelog.
2014-10-29 15:19:10 +01:00
o New compiler and system requirements:
- Tor 0.2.6.x requires that your compiler support more of the C99
language standard than before. The 'configure' script now detects
whether your compiler supports C99 mid-block declarations and
designated initializers. If it does not, Tor will not compile.
We may revisit this requirement if it turns out that a significant
number of people need to build Tor with compilers that don't
bother implementing a 15-year-old standard. Closes ticket 13233.
- Tor no longer supports systems without threading support. When we
began working on Tor, there were several systems that didn't have
threads, or where the thread support wasn't able to run the
threads of a single process on multiple CPUs. That no longer
holds: every system where Tor needs to run well now has threading
support. Resolves ticket 12439.
o Removed platform support:
- We no longer include special code to build on Windows CE; as far
as we know, nobody has used Tor on Windows CE in a very long time.
Closes ticket 11446.

- Remove our old, non-weighted bandwidth-based node selection code.
Previously, we used it as a fallback when we couldn't perform
weighted bandwidth-based node selection. But that would only
happen in the cases where we had no consensus, or when we had a
consensus generated by buggy or ancient directory authorities. In
either case, it's better to use the more modern, better maintained
algorithm, with reasonable defaults for the weights. Closes

- Clients don't understand the BadDirectory flag in the consensus
anymore, and ignore it.
o Testing:
- Refactor the function that chooses guard nodes so that it can more
easily be tested; write some tests for it.
- Fix and re-enable the fgets_eagain unit test. Fixes bug 12503;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks."
- Create unit tests for format_time_interval(). With bug 13393.

parse_rfc1123_time validity checks, correct_tm year clamping. Unit
tests (visible) fixes in bug 13476.
- Add a "coverage-html" make target to generate HTML-visualized
coverage results when building with --enable-coverage. (Requires
lcov.) Patch from Kevin Murray.
- Enable the backtrace handler (where supported) when running the
unit tests.
- Revise all unit tests that used the legacy test_* macros to
instead use the recommended tt_* macros. This patch was generated
with coccinelle, to avoid manual errors. Closes ticket 13119.

Forward-port changelog and release notes for 0.2.5.10
2014-10-24 15:21:40 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.5.10 - 2014-10-24
Tor 0.2.5.10 is the first stable release in the 0.2.5 series.
It adds several new security features, including improved
denial-of-service resistance for relays, new compiler hardening
options, and a system-call sandbox for hardened installations on Linux
(requires seccomp2). The controller protocol has several new features,
resolving IPv6 addresses should work better than before, and relays
should be a little more CPU-efficient. We've added support for more
OpenBSD and FreeBSD transparent proxy types. We've improved the build
system and testing infrastructure to allow unit testing of more parts
of the Tor codebase. Finally, we've addressed several nagging pluggable
transport usability issues, and included numerous other small bugfixes
and features mentioned below.
This release marks end-of-life for Tor 0.2.3.x; those Tor versions
have accumulated many known flaws; everyone should upgrade.
o Deprecated versions:
- Tor 0.2.3.x has reached end-of-life; it has received no patches or
attention for some while.

2014-10-20 16:01:07 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.5.9-rc - 2014-10-20
Tor 0.2.5.9-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x
series. It disables SSL3 in response to the recent "POODLE" attack
(even though POODLE does not affect Tor). It also works around a crash
bug caused by some operating systems' response to the "POODLE" attack
(which does affect Tor). It also contains a few miscellaneous fixes.
o Major security fixes:
- Disable support for SSLv3. All versions of OpenSSL in use with Tor
today support TLS 1.0 or later, so we can safely turn off support
for this old (and insecure) protocol. Fixes bug 13426.
o Major bugfixes (openssl bug workaround):
- Avoid crashing when using OpenSSL version 0.9.8zc, 1.0.0o, or
1.0.1j, built with the 'no-ssl3' configuration option. Fixes bug
13471. This is a workaround for an OpenSSL bug.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Disable the sandbox name resolver cache when running tor-resolve:
tor-resolve doesn't use the sandbox code, and turning it on was
breaking attempts to do tor-resolve on a non-default server on
Linux. Fixes bug 13295; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
o Compilation fixes:
- Build and run correctly on systems like OpenBSD-current that have
patched OpenSSL to remove get_cipher_by_char and/or its
implementations. Fixes issue 13325.
o Downgraded warnings:
- Downgrade the severity of the 'unexpected sendme cell from client'
from 'warn' to 'protocol warning'. Closes ticket 8093.
Changes in version 0.2.4.25 - 2014-10-20
Tor 0.2.4.25 disables SSL3 in response to the recent "POODLE" attack
(even though POODLE does not affect Tor). It also works around a crash
bug caused by some operating systems' response to the "POODLE" attack
(which does affect Tor).
o Major security fixes (also in 0.2.5.9-rc):
- Disable support for SSLv3. All versions of OpenSSL in use with Tor
today support TLS 1.0 or later, so we can safely turn off support
for this old (and insecure) protocol. Fixes bug 13426.
o Major bugfixes (openssl bug workaround, also in 0.2.5.9-rc):

Changes in version 0.2.5.8-rc - 2014-09-22
Tor 0.2.5.8-rc is the second release candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x
series. It fixes a bug that affects consistency and speed when
connecting to hidden services, and it updates the location of one of
the directory authorities.
o Major bugfixes:
- Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous
point when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send
the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because
they also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if
the hidden service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous
point from a relay that already had a connection open to it,
the relay would reuse that connection. Now connections to hidden
services should be more robust and faster. Also, this bug meant
that clients were leaking to the hidden service whether they were
on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare) system, which for
some users might have reduced their anonymity. Fixes bug 13151;
bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
Changes in version 0.2.4.24 - 2014-09-22
Tor 0.2.4.24 fixes a bug that affects consistency and speed when

the directory authorities.
o Major bugfixes:
- Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous
point when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send
the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because
they also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if
the hidden service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous

o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
forward-port changelog from 0.2.5.7-rc
2014-09-12 03:25:03 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.5.7-rc - 2014-09-11
Tor 0.2.5.7-rc fixes several regressions from earlier in the 0.2.5.x
release series, and some long-standing bugs related to ORPort reachability
testing and failure to send CREATE cells. It is the first release
candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x series.
o Major bugfixes (client, startup):
- Start making circuits as soon as DisabledNetwork is turned off.
When Tor started with DisabledNetwork set, it would correctly
conclude that it shouldn't build circuits, but it would mistakenly
cache this conclusion, and continue believing it even when
DisableNetwork is set to 0. Fixes the bug introduced by the fix
for bug 11200; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
- Resume expanding abbreviations for command-line options. The fix
for bug 4647 accidentally removed our hack from bug 586 that
rewrote HashedControlPassword to __HashedControlSessionPassword
when it appears on the commandline (which allowed the user to set
her own HashedControlPassword in the torrc file while the
controller generates a fresh session password for each run). Fixes
bug 12948; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Warn about attempts to run hidden services and relays in the same
process: that's probably not a good idea. Closes ticket 12908.
o Major bugfixes (relay):
- Avoid queuing or sending destroy cells for circuit ID zero when we
fail to send a CREATE cell. Fixes bug 12848; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
Found and fixed by "cypherpunks".
- Fix ORPort reachability detection on relays running behind a
proxy, by correctly updating the "local" mark on the controlling
channel when changing the address of an or_connection_t after the
handshake. Fixes bug 12160; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
o Minor features (bridge):
- Add an ExtORPortCookieAuthFileGroupReadable option to make the
cookie file for the ExtORPort g+r by default.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 7 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Reduce the log severity of the "Pluggable transport proxy does not
provide any needed transports and will not be launched." message,
since Tor Browser includes several ClientTransportPlugin lines in
its torrc-defaults file, leading every Tor Browser user who looks
at her logs to see these notices and wonder if they're dangerous.
Resolves bug 13124; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
- Downgrade "Unexpected onionskin length after decryption" warning
to a protocol-warn, since there's nothing relay operators can do
about a client that sends them a malformed create cell. Resolves
bug 12996; bugfix on 0.0.6rc1.
- Log more specific warnings when we get an ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS
cell on a cannibalized or non-OR circuit. Resolves ticket 12997.
- When logging information about an EXTEND2 or EXTENDED2 cell, log
their names correctly. Fixes part of bug 12700; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- When logging information about a relay cell whose command we don't
recognize, log its command as an integer. Fixes part of bug 12700;
bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
- Escape all strings from the directory connection before logging
them. Fixes bug 13071; bugfix on 0.1.1.15. Patch from "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Restore the functionality of CookieAuthFileGroupReadable. Fixes
bug 12864; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Actually send TRANSPORT_LAUNCHED and HS_DESC events to
controllers. Fixes bug 13085; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch
by "teor".
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix compilation of test.h with MSVC. Patch from Gisle Vanem;
bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
- Make the nmake make files work again. Fixes bug 13081. Bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha. Patch from "NewEraCracker".
- In routerlist_assert_ok(), don't take the address of a
routerinfo's cache_info member unless that routerinfo is non-NULL.
Fixes bug 13096; bugfix on 0.1.1.9-alpha. Patch by "teor".
- Fix a large number of false positive warnings from the clang
analyzer static analysis tool. This should make real warnings
easier for clang analyzer to find. Patch from "teor". Closes
ticket 13036.
o Distribution (systemd):
- Verify configuration file via ExecStartPre in the systemd unit
file. Patch from intrigeri; resolves ticket 12730.
- Explicitly disable RunAsDaemon in the systemd unit file. Our
current systemd unit uses "Type = simple", so systemd does not
expect tor to fork. If the user has "RunAsDaemon 1" in their
torrc, then things won't work as expected. This is e.g. the case
on Debian (and derivatives), since there we pass "--defaults-torrc
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc" (that contains
"RunAsDaemon 1") by default. Patch by intrigeri; resolves
ticket 12731.
o Documentation:
- Adjust the URLs in the README to refer to the new locations of
several documents on the website. Fixes bug 12830. Patch from
Matt Pagan.
- Document 'reject6' and 'accept6' ExitPolicy entries. Resolves
ticket 12878.

Changes in version 0.2.5.6-alpha - 2014-07-28
Tor 0.2.5.6-alpha brings us a big step closer to slowing down the
risk from guard rotation, and fixes a variety of other issues to get
us closer to a release candidate.
o Major features (also in 0.2.4.23):
- Make the number of entry guards configurable via a new
NumEntryGuards consensus parameter, and the number of directory
guards configurable via a new NumDirectoryGuards consensus
parameter. Implements ticket 12688.
o Major bugfixes (also in 0.2.4.23):
- Fix a bug in the bounds-checking in the 32-bit curve25519-donna
implementation that caused incorrect results on 32-bit
implementations when certain malformed inputs were used along with
a small class of private ntor keys. This bug does not currently
appear to allow an attacker to learn private keys or impersonate a
Tor server, but it could provide a means to distinguish 32-bit Tor
implementations from 64-bit Tor implementations. Fixes bug 12694;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Bug found by Robert Ransom; fix from
Adam Langley.
o Major bugfixes:
- Perform circuit cleanup operations even when circuit
construction operations are disabled (because the network is
disabled, or because there isn't enough directory information).
Previously, when we were not building predictive circuits, we
were not closing expired circuits either. Fixes bug 8387; bugfix on
0.1.1.11-alpha. This bug became visible in 0.2.4.10-alpha when we
became more strict about when we have "enough directory information
to build circuits".
o Minor features:
- Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the
network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus
weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the
current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500.
This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards
down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected
performance for most users. Implements ticket 12690.
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 10 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
- Slightly enhance the diagnostic message for bug 12184.
o Minor bugfixes (also in 0.2.4.23):
- Warn and drop the circuit if we receive an inbound 'relay early'
cell. Those used to be normal to receive on hidden service circuits
due to bug 1038, but the buggy Tor versions are long gone from
the network so we can afford to resume watching for them. Resolves
the rest of bug 1038; bugfix on 0.2.1.19.
- Correct a confusing error message when trying to extend a circuit
via the control protocol but we don't know a descriptor or
microdescriptor for one of the specified relays. Fixes bug 12718;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix compilation when building with bufferevents enabled. (This
configuration is still not expected to work, however.)
Fixes bugs 12438, 12474, 11578; bugfixes on 0.2.5.1-alpha and
0.2.5.3-alpha. Patches from Anthony G. Basile and Sathyanarayanan
Gunasekaran.
- Compile correctly with builds and forks of OpenSSL (such as
LibreSSL) that disable compression. Fixes bug 12602; bugfix on
0.2.1.1-alpha. Patch from "dhill".
Changes in version 0.2.4.23 - 2014-07-28
Tor 0.2.4.23 brings us a big step closer to slowing down the risk from
guard rotation, and also backports several important fixes from the
Tor 0.2.5 alpha release series.
o Major features:
- Clients now look at the "usecreatefast" consensus parameter to
decide whether to use CREATE_FAST or CREATE cells for the first hop
of their circuit. This approach can improve security on connections
where Tor's circuit handshake is stronger than the available TLS
connection security levels, but the tradeoff is more computational
load on guard relays. Implements proposal 221. Resolves ticket 9386.
- Make the number of entry guards configurable via a new
NumEntryGuards consensus parameter, and the number of directory
guards configurable via a new NumDirectoryGuards consensus
parameter. Implements ticket 12688.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bug in the bounds-checking in the 32-bit curve25519-donna
implementation that caused incorrect results on 32-bit
implementations when certain malformed inputs were used along with
a small class of private ntor keys. This bug does not currently
appear to allow an attacker to learn private keys or impersonate a
Tor server, but it could provide a means to distinguish 32-bit Tor
implementations from 64-bit Tor implementations. Fixes bug 12694;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Bug found by Robert Ransom; fix from
Adam Langley.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Warn and drop the circuit if we receive an inbound 'relay early'
cell. Those used to be normal to receive on hidden service circuits
due to bug 1038, but the buggy Tor versions are long gone from
the network so we can afford to resume watching for them. Resolves
the rest of bug 1038; bugfix on 0.2.1.19.
- Correct a confusing error message when trying to extend a circuit
via the control protocol but we don't know a descriptor or
microdescriptor for one of the specified relays. Fixes bug 12718;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Avoid an illegal read from stack when initializing the TLS
module using a version of OpenSSL without all of the ciphers
used by the v2 link handshake. Fixes bug 12227; bugfix on
0.2.4.8-alpha. Found by "starlight".
o Minor features:
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the July 10 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.

- Several major improvements to the algorithm used to decide when to
close TLS connections. Previous versions of Tor closed connections
at a fixed interval after the last time a non-padding cell was
sent over the connection, regardless of the target of the
connection. Now, we randomize the intervals by adding up to 50% of
their base value, we measure the length of time since connection

from needlessly closed connections. Fixes ticket 6799.

Forward-port 0.2.4.22 changelog
2014-05-16 15:06:48 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.22 - 2014-05-16
Tor 0.2.4.22 backports numerous high-priority fixes from the Tor 0.2.5
alpha release series. These include blocking all authority signing
keys that may have been affected by the OpenSSL "heartbleed" bug,
choosing a far more secure set of TLS ciphersuites by default, closing
a couple of memory leaks that could be used to run a target relay out
of RAM, and several others.
o Major features (security, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Block authority signing keys that were used on authorities
vulnerable to the "heartbleed" bug in OpenSSL (CVE-2014-0160). (We
don't have any evidence that these keys _were_ compromised; we're
doing this to be prudent.) Resolves ticket 11464.
o Major bugfixes (security, OOM):
- Fix a memory leak that could occur if a microdescriptor parse
fails during the tokenizing step. This bug could enable a memory
exhaustion attack by directory servers. Fixes bug 11649; bugfix
on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (TLS cipher selection, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- The relay ciphersuite list is now generated automatically based on
uniform criteria, and includes all OpenSSL ciphersuites with
acceptable strength and forward secrecy. Previously, we had left
some perfectly fine ciphersuites unsupported due to omission or
typo. Resolves bugs 11513, 11492, 11498, 11499. Bugs reported by
'cypherpunks'. Bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Relays now trust themselves to have a better view than clients of
which TLS ciphersuites are better than others. (Thanks to bug
11513, the relay list is now well-considered, whereas the client
list has been chosen mainly for anti-fingerprinting purposes.)
Relays prefer: AES over 3DES; then ECDHE over DHE; then GCM over
CBC; then SHA384 over SHA256 over SHA1; and last, AES256 over
AES128. Resolves ticket 11528.
- Clients now try to advertise the same list of ciphersuites as
Firefox 28. This change enables selection of (fast) GCM
ciphersuites, disables some strange old ciphers, and stops
advertising the ECDH (not to be confused with ECDHE) ciphersuites.
Resolves ticket 11438.
o Minor bugfixes (configuration, security):
- When running a hidden service, do not allow TunneledDirConns 0:
trying to set that option together with a hidden service would
otherwise prevent the hidden service from running, and also make
it publish its descriptors directly over HTTP. Fixes bug 10849;
bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Avoid sending a garbage value to the controller when a circuit is
cannibalized. Fixes bug 11519; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (exit relay, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Stop leaking memory when we successfully resolve a PTR record.
Fixes bug 11437; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (bridge client, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Avoid 60-second delays in the bootstrapping process when Tor is
launching for a second time while using bridges. Fixes bug 9229;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relays and bridges, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Give the correct URL in the warning message when trying to run a
relay on an ancient version of Windows. Fixes bug 9393.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix a compilation error when compiling with --disable-curve25519.
Fixes bug 9700; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Downgrade the warning severity for the the "md was still
referenced 1 node(s)" warning. Tor 0.2.5.4-alpha has better code
for trying to diagnose this bug, and the current warning in
earlier versions of tor achieves nothing useful. Addresses warning
from bug 7164.
o Minor features (log verbosity, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- When we run out of usable circuit IDs on a channel, log only one
warning for the whole channel, and describe how many circuits
there were on the channel. Fixes part of ticket 11553.
o Minor features (security, backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Decrease the lower limit of MaxMemInCellQueues to 256 MBytes (but
leave the default at 8GBytes), to better support Raspberry Pi
users. Fixes bug 9686; bugfix on 0.2.4.14-alpha.
o Documentation (backport from 0.2.5.4-alpha):
- Correctly document that we search for a system torrc file before
looking in ~/.torrc. Fixes documentation side of 9213; bugfix on
0.2.3.18-rc.

the default was always 8 GB. You can still override the default by
setting MaxMemInQueues yourself. Resolves ticket 11396.

0.2.4.7-alpha.
- When receiving a DNS query for an unsupported record type, reply
with no answer rather than with a NOTIMPL error. This behavior
isn't correct either, but it will break fewer client programs, we
hope. Fixes bug 10268; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Original patch

forward-port the 0.2.4.21 release notes
2014-03-01 10:09:34 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.21 - 2014-02-28
Tor 0.2.4.21 further improves security against potential adversaries who
find breaking 1024-bit crypto doable, and backports several stability
and robustness patches from the 0.2.5 branch.
o Major features (client security):
- When we choose a path for a 3-hop circuit, make sure it contains
at least one relay that supports the NTor circuit extension
handshake. Otherwise, there is a chance that we're building
a circuit that's worth attacking by an adversary who finds
breaking 1024-bit crypto doable, and that chance changes the game
theory. Implements ticket 9777.
o Major bugfixes:
- Do not treat streams that fail with reason
END_STREAM_REASON_INTERNAL as indicating a definite circuit failure,
since it could also indicate an ENETUNREACH connection error. Fixes
part of bug 10777; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Remove data structures which were introduced to implement the
CellStatistics option: they are now redundant with the new timestamp
field in the regular packed_cell_t data structure, which we did
in 0.2.4.18-rc in order to resolve bug 9093. Resolves ticket 10870.
o Minor features:
- Always clear OpenSSL bignums before freeing them -- even bignums
that don't contain secrets. Resolves ticket 10793. Patch by
Florent Daigniere.
- Build without warnings under clang 3.4. (We have some macros that
define static functions only some of which will get used later in
the module. Starting with clang 3.4, these give a warning unless the
unused attribute is set on them.) Resolves ticket 10904.
- Update geoip and geoip6 files to the February 7 2014 Maxmind
GeoLite2 Country database.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Set the listen() backlog limit to the largest actually supported
on the system, not to the value in a header file. Fixes bug 9716;
bugfix on every released Tor.
- Treat ENETUNREACH, EACCES, and EPERM connection failures at an
exit node as a NOROUTE error, not an INTERNAL error, since they
can apparently happen when trying to connect to the wrong sort
of netblocks. Fixes part of bug 10777; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Fix build warnings about missing "a2x" comment when building the
manpages from scratch on OpenBSD; OpenBSD calls it "a2x.py".
Fixes bug 10929; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha. Patch from Dana Koch.
- Avoid a segfault on SIGUSR1, where we had freed a connection but did
not entirely remove it from the connection lists. Fixes bug 9602;
bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Fix a segmentation fault in our benchmark code when running with
Fedora's OpenSSL package, or any other OpenSSL that provides
ECDH but not P224. Fixes bug 10835; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Turn "circuit handshake stats since last time" log messages into a
heartbeat message. Fixes bug 10485; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
o Documentation fixes:
- Document that all but one DirPort entry must have the NoAdvertise
flag set. Fixes bug 10470; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha / 0.2.3.16-alpha.

Changes in version 0.2.5.2-alpha - 2014-02-13
give 0.2.5.2-alpha a release blurb
2014-02-13 09:49:46 +01:00
Tor 0.2.5.2-alpha includes all the fixes from 0.2.4.18-rc and 0.2.4.20,
like the "poor random number generation" fix and the "building too many
circuits" fix. It also further improves security against potential
adversaries who find breaking 1024-bit crypto doable, and launches
pluggable transports on demand (which gets us closer to integrating
pluggable transport support by default -- not to be confused with Tor
bundles enabling pluggable transports and bridges by default).

2014-02-13 08:46:26 +01:00
o Major features (client security):
- When we choose a path for a 3-hop circuit, make sure it contains
at least one relay that supports the NTor circuit extension
handshake. Otherwise, there is a chance that we're building
a circuit that's worth attacking by an adversary who finds
breaking 1024-bit crypto doable, and that chance changes the game
theory. Implements ticket 9777.
- Clients now look at the "usecreatefast" consensus parameter to
decide whether to use CREATE_FAST or CREATE cells for the first hop
of their circuit. This approach can improve security on connections
where Tor's circuit handshake is stronger than the available TLS
connection security levels, but the tradeoff is more computational
load on guard relays. Implements proposal 221. Resolves ticket 9386.
o Major features (bridges):
- Don't launch pluggable transport proxies if we don't have any
bridges configured that would use them. Now we can list many
pluggable transports, and Tor will dynamically start one when it
hears a bridge address that needs it. Resolves ticket 5018.
- The bridge directory authority now assigns status flags (Stable,
Guard, etc) to bridges based on thresholds calculated over all
Running bridges. Now bridgedb can finally make use of its features
to e.g. include at least one Stable bridge in its answers. Fixes
bug 9859.
o Major features (other):
- Extend ORCONN controller event to include an "ID" parameter,
and add four new controller event types CONN_BW, CIRC_BW,
CELL_STATS, and TB_EMPTY that show connection and circuit usage.
The new events are emitted in private Tor networks only, with the
goal of being able to better track performance and load during
full-network simulations. Implements proposal 218 and ticket 7359.
- On some platforms (currently: recent OSX versions, glibc-based
platforms that support the ELF format, and a few other
Unix-like operating systems), Tor can now dump stack traces
when a crash occurs or an assertion fails. By default, traces
are dumped to stderr (if possible) and to any logs that are
reporting errors. Implements ticket 9299.
o Major bugfixes:
- Avoid a segfault on SIGUSR1, where we had freed a connection but did
not entirely remove it from the connection lists. Fixes bug 9602;
bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Do not treat streams that fail with reason
END_STREAM_REASON_INTERNAL as indicating a definite circuit failure,
since it could also indicate an ENETUNREACH connection error. Fixes
part of bug 10777; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

o Major bugfixes (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.20):
- Do not allow OpenSSL engines to replace the PRNG, even when
HardwareAccel is set. The only default builtin PRNG engine uses
the Intel RDRAND instruction to replace the entire PRNG, and
ignores all attempts to seed it with more entropy. That's
cryptographically stupid: the right response to a new alleged
entropy source is never to discard all previously used entropy
sources. Fixes bug 10402; works around behavior introduced in
OpenSSL 1.0.0. Diagnosis and investigation thanks to "coderman"
and "rl1987".
- Fix assertion failure when AutomapHostsOnResolve yields an IPv6
address. Fixes bug 10465; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Avoid launching spurious extra circuits when a stream is pending.
This fixes a bug where any circuit that _wasn't_ unusable for new
streams would be treated as if it were, causing extra circuits to
be launched. Fixes bug 10456; bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.

o Major bugfixes (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.18-rc):
- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when
our rate limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit
handshake requests more promptly. Resolves bug 9731.
- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

o Minor features (bridges, pluggable transports):
- Add threshold cutoffs to the networkstatus document created by
the Bridge Authority. Fixes bug 1117.
- On Windows, spawn background processes using the CREATE_NO_WINDOW
flag. Now Tor Browser Bundle 3.5 with pluggable transports enabled
doesn't pop up a blank console window. (In Tor Browser Bundle 2.x,
Vidalia set this option for us.) Implements ticket 10297.

- Always clear OpenSSL bignums before freeing them -- even bignums
that don't contain secrets. Resolves ticket 10793. Patch by

2014-02-13 08:46:26 +01:00
o Minor features (config options and command line):
- Add an --allow-missing-torrc commandline option that tells Tor to
run even if the configuration file specified by -f is not available.
Implements ticket 10060.
- Add support for the TPROXY transparent proxying facility on Linux.
See documentation for the new TransProxyType option for more
details. Implementation by "thomo". Closes ticket 10582.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add a new "HS_DESC" controller event that reports activities
related to hidden service descriptors. Resolves ticket 8510.
- New "DROPGUARDS" controller command to forget all current entry
guards. Not recommended for ordinary use, since replacing guards
too frequently makes several attacks easier. Resolves ticket 9934;
patch from "ra".
o Minor features (build):
- Assume that a user using ./configure --host wants to cross-compile,
and give an error if we cannot find a properly named
tool-chain. Add a --disable-tool-name-check option to proceed
nevertheless. Addresses ticket 9869. Patch by Benedikt Gollatz.
- If we run ./configure and the compiler recognizes -fstack-protector
but the linker rejects it, warn the user about a potentially missing
libssp package. Addresses ticket 9948. Patch from Benedikt Gollatz.
o Minor features (testing):
- If Python is installed, "make check" now runs extra tests beyond
the unit test scripts.
- When bootstrapping a test network, sometimes very few relays get
the Guard flag. Now a new option "TestingDirAuthVoteGuard" can
specify a set of relays which should be voted Guard regardless of
their uptime or bandwidth. Addresses ticket 9206.
o Minor features (log messages):
- When ServerTransportPlugin is set on a bridge, Tor can write more
useful statistics about bridge use in its extrainfo descriptors,
but only if the Extended ORPort ("ExtORPort") is set too. Add a
log message to inform the user in this case. Resolves ticket 9651.
- When receiving a new controller connection, log the origin address.
Resolves ticket 9698; patch from "sigpipe".
- When logging OpenSSL engine status at startup, log the status of
more engines. Fixes ticket 10043; patch from Joshua Datko.
- Turn "circuit handshake stats since last time" log messages into a
heartbeat message. Fixes bug 10485; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
o Minor features (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.18-rc):
- Improve the circuit queue out-of-memory handler. Previously, when
we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits had the most
queued cells. Now, we close those that have the *oldest* queued
cells, on the theory that those are most responsible for us
running low on memory. Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper
by Jansen, Tschorsch, Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
- Generate bootstrapping status update events correctly when fetching
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 9927.
- Update to the October 2 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (clients):
- When closing a channel that has already been open, do not close
pending circuits that were waiting to connect to the same relay.
Fixes bug 9880; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha. Thanks to skruffy for
finding this bug.
o Minor bugfixes (relays):
- Treat ENETUNREACH, EACCES, and EPERM connection failures at an
exit node as a NOROUTE error, not an INTERNAL error, since they
can apparently happen when trying to connect to the wrong sort
of netblocks. Fixes part of bug 10777; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (bridges):
- Fix a bug where the first connection works to a bridge that uses a
pluggable transport with client-side parameters, but we don't send
the client-side parameters on subsequent connections. (We don't
use any pluggable transports with client-side parameters yet,
but ScrambleSuit will soon become the first one.) Fixes bug 9162;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha. Based on a patch from "rl1987".
o Minor bugfixes (node selection):
- If ExcludeNodes is set, consider non-excluded hidden service
directory servers before excluded ones. Do not consider excluded
hidden service directory servers at all if StrictNodes is
set. (Previously, we would sometimes decide to connect to those
servers, and then realize before we initiated a connection that
we had excluded them.) Fixes bug 10722; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
Reported by "mr-4".
- If we set the ExitNodes option but it doesn't include any nodes
that have the Exit flag, we would choose not to bootstrap. Now we
bootstrap so long as ExitNodes includes nodes which can exit to
some port. Fixes bug 10543; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (controller and command-line):
- If changing a config option via "setconf" fails in a recoverable
way, we used to nonetheless write our new control ports to the
file described by the "ControlPortWriteToFile" option. Now we only
write out that file if we successfully switch to the new config
option. Fixes bug 5605; bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta. Patch from "Ryman".
- When a command-line option such as --version or --help that
ordinarily implies --hush appears on the command line along with
--quiet, then actually obey --quiet. Previously, we obeyed --quiet
only if it appeared later on the command line. Fixes bug 9578;
bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code correctness):
- Previously we used two temporary files when writing descriptors to
disk; now we only use one. Fixes bug 1376.
- Remove an erroneous (but impossible and thus harmless) pointer
comparison that would have allowed compilers to skip a bounds
check in channeltls.c. Fixes bugs 10313 and 9980; bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha. Noticed by Jared L Wong and David Fifield.
- Fix an always-true assertion in pluggable transports code so it
actually checks what it was trying to check. Fixes bug 10046;
bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. Found by "dcb".
o Minor bugfixes (protocol correctness):
- When receiving a VERSIONS cell with an odd number of bytes, close
the connection immediately since the cell is malformed. Fixes bug
10365; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha. Spotted by "bobnomnom"; fix by
"rl1987".
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- Restore the ability to compile Tor with V2_HANDSHAKE_SERVER
turned off (that is, without support for v2 link handshakes). Fixes
bug 4677; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha. Patch from "piet".
- Fix compilation warnings and startup issues when running with
"Sandbox 1" and libseccomp-2.1.0. Fixes bug 10563; bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Fix compilation on Solaris 9, which didn't like us having an
identifier named "sun". Fixes bug 10565; bugfix in 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Fix a segmentation fault in our benchmark code when running with
Fedora's OpenSSL package, or any other OpenSSL that provides
ECDH but not P224. Fixes bug 10835; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (log messages):
- Fix a bug where clients using bridges would report themselves
as 50% bootstrapped even without a live consensus document.
Fixes bug 9922; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
- Suppress a warning where, if there's only one directory authority
in the network, we would complain that votes and signatures cannot
be uploaded to other directory authorities. Fixes bug 10842;
bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- Report bootstrapping progress correctly when we're downloading
microdescriptors. We had updated our "do we have enough microdescs
to begin building circuits?" logic most recently in 0.2.4.10-alpha
(see bug 5956), but we left the bootstrap status event logic at
"how far through getting 1/4 of them are we?" Fixes bug 9958;
bugfix on 0.2.2.36, which is where they diverged (see bug 5343).

o Minor bugfixes (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.20):
- Avoid a crash bug when starting with a corrupted microdescriptor
cache file. Fixes bug 10406; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- If we fail to dump a previously cached microdescriptor to disk, avoid
freeing duplicate data later on. Fixes bug 10423; bugfix on
0.2.4.13-alpha. Spotted by "bobnomnom".
o Minor bugfixes on 0.2.4.x (new since 0.2.5.1-alpha, also in 0.2.4.18-rc):

or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After
reconsideration, we decided that the default should be P256 on all
hosts, since its security is probably better, and since P224 is
reportedly used quite little in the wild. Found by "skruffy" on
IRC. Fix for bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.

- If the guard we choose first doesn't answer, we would try the
second guard, but once we connected to the second guard we would
abandon it and retry the first one, slowing down bootstrapping.
The fix is to treat all our initially chosen guards as acceptable
to use. Fixes bug 9946; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.

- When examining the list of network interfaces to find our address,
do not consider non-running or disabled network interfaces. Fixes
bug 9904; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha. Patch from "hantwister".
- Avoid an off-by-one error when checking buffer boundaries when
formatting the exit status of a pluggable transport helper.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, but better safe than
sorry. Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc. Bug found by

o Removed code and features:
- Clients now reject any directory authority certificates lacking
a dir-key-crosscert element. These have been included since
0.2.1.9-alpha, so there's no real reason for them to be optional
any longer. Completes proposal 157. Resolves ticket 10162.
- Remove all code that existed to support the v2 directory system,
since there are no longer any v2 directory authorities. Resolves
ticket 10758.
- Remove the HSAuthoritativeDir and AlternateHSAuthority torrc
options, which were used for designating authorities as "Hidden
service authorities". There has been no use of hidden service
authorities since 0.2.2.1-alpha, when we stopped uploading or
downloading v0 hidden service descriptors. Fixes bug 10881; also
part of a fix for bug 10841.

o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Remove some old fallback code designed to keep Tor clients working
in a network with only two working relays. Elsewhere in the code we
have long since stopped supporting such networks, so there wasn't
much point in keeping it around. Addresses ticket 9926.
- Reject 0-length EXTEND2 cells more explicitly. Fixes bug 10536;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Reported by "cypherpunks".
- Remove data structures which were introduced to implement the
CellStatistics option: they are now redundant with the addition
of a timestamp to the regular packed_cell_t data structure, which
we did in 0.2.4.18-rc in order to resolve ticket 9093. Implements
ticket 10870.
o Documentation (man page) fixes:
- Update manpage to describe some of the files you can expect to
find in Tor's DataDirectory. Addresses ticket 9839.

Changes in version 0.2.4.20 - 2013-12-22
Tor 0.2.4.20 fixes potentially poor random number generation for users
who 1) use OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later, 2) set "HardwareAccel 1" in their
torrc file, 3) have "Sandy Bridge" or "Ivy Bridge" Intel processors,
and 4) have no state file in their DataDirectory (as would happen on
first start). Users who generated relay or hidden service identity
keys in such a situation should discard them and generate new ones.
This release also fixes a logic error that caused Tor clients to build
many more preemptive circuits than they actually need.
o Major bugfixes:
- Do not allow OpenSSL engines to replace the PRNG, even when
HardwareAccel is set. The only default builtin PRNG engine uses
the Intel RDRAND instruction to replace the entire PRNG, and
ignores all attempts to seed it with more entropy. That's
cryptographically stupid: the right response to a new alleged
entropy source is never to discard all previously used entropy
sources. Fixes bug 10402; works around behavior introduced in

Changes in version 0.2.4.19 - 2013-12-11
The Tor 0.2.4 release series is dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz
(1986-2013). Aaron worked on diverse projects including helping to guide
Creative Commons, playing a key role in stopping SOPA/PIPA, bringing
transparency to the U.S government's PACER documents, and contributing
design and development for Tor and Tor2Web. Aaron was one of the latest
martyrs in our collective fight for civil liberties and human rights,
and his death is all the more painful because he was one of us.
Tor 0.2.4.19, the first stable release in the 0.2.4 branch, features
a new circuit handshake and link encryption that use ECC to provide
better security and efficiency; makes relays better manage circuit
creation requests; uses "directory guards" to reduce client enumeration
risks; makes bridges collect and report statistics about the pluggable
transports they support; cleans up and improves our geoip database;
gets much closer to IPv6 support for clients, bridges, and relays; makes
directory authorities use measured bandwidths rather than advertised
ones when computing flags and thresholds; disables client-side DNS
caching to reduce tracking risks; and fixes a big bug in bridge
reachability testing. This release introduces two new design
abstractions in the code: a new "channel" abstraction between circuits
and or_connections to allow for implementing alternate relay-to-relay
transports, and a new "circuitmux" abstraction storing the queue of
circuits for a channel. The release also includes many stability,
security, and privacy fixes.
forward-port the 0.2.4.18-rc changelog
2013-11-17 05:02:26 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.18-rc - 2013-11-16
Tor 0.2.4.18-rc is the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It takes a variety of fixes from the 0.2.5.x branch to improve
stability, performance, and better handling of edge cases.
o Major features:
- Re-enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later.
Resolves ticket 6055. (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or
1.2, and OpenSSL from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented
renegotiation from working with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we had disabled
them to solve bug 6033.)
o Major bugfixes:
- No longer stop reading or writing on cpuworker connections when
our rate limiting buckets go empty. Now we should handle circuit
handshake requests more promptly. Resolves bug 9731.
- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not
drop it from memory and then reattempt downloading it. Fixes bug
9645; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Stop trying to bootstrap all our directory information from
only our first guard. Discovered while fixing bug 9946; bugfix
on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from
channel_closed(). Fixes bug 9776; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.4.x):
- Correctly log long IPv6 exit policies, instead of truncating them
or reporting an error. Fixes bug 9596; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Our default TLS ecdhe groups were backwards: we meant to be using
P224 for relays (for performance win) and P256 for bridges (since
it is more common in the wild). Instead we had it backwards. After
reconsideration, we decided that the default should be P256 on all
hosts, since its security is probably better, and since P224 is
reportedly used quite little in the wild. Found by "skruffy" on
IRC. Fix for bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Free directory authority certificate download statuses on exit
rather than leaking them. Fixes bug 9644; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x and earlier):
- If the guard we choose first doesn't answer, we would try the
second guard, but once we connected to the second guard we would
abandon it and retry the first one, slowing down bootstrapping.
The fix is to treat all our initially chosen guards as acceptable
to use. Fixes bug 9946; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
- Fix an assertion failure that would occur when disabling the
ORPort setting on a running Tor process while accounting was
enabled. Fixes bug 6979; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
- When examining the list of network interfaces to find our address,
do not consider non-running or disabled network interfaces. Fixes
bug 9904; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha. Patch from "hantwister".
- Avoid an off-by-one error when checking buffer boundaries when
formatting the exit status of a pluggable transport helper.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, but better safe than
sorry. Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc. Bug found by
Pedro Ribeiro.
o Minor features (protecting client timestamps):
- Clients no longer send timestamps in their NETINFO cells. These were
not used for anything, and they provided one small way for clients
to be distinguished from each other as they moved from network to
network or behind NAT. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Clients now round timestamps in INTRODUCE cells down to the nearest
10 minutes. If a new Support022HiddenServices option is set to 0, or
if it's set to "auto" and the feature is disabled in the consensus,
the timestamp is sent as 0 instead. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Stop sending timestamps in AUTHENTICATE cells. This is not such
a big deal from a security point of view, but it achieves no actual
good purpose, and isn't needed. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Reduce down accuracy of timestamps in hidden service descriptors.
Implements part of proposal 222.
o Minor features (other):
- Improve the circuit queue out-of-memory handler. Previously, when
we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits had the most
queued cells. Now, we close those that have the *oldest* queued
cells, on the theory that those are most responsible for us
running low on memory. Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper
by Jansen, Tschorsch, Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
- Generate bootstrapping status update events correctly when fetching
microdescriptors. Fixes bug 9927.
- Update to the October 2 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Documentation fixes:
- Clarify the usage and risks of setting the ContactInfo torrc line
for your relay or bridge. Resolves ticket 9854.
- Add anchors to the manpage so we can link to the html version of
the documentation for specific options. Resolves ticket 9866.
- Replace remaining references to DirServer in man page and
log entries. Resolves ticket 10124.
one last teeny-tiny change
2013-10-02 04:54:25 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.5.1-alpha - 2013-10-02
give it a release blurb
2013-10-02 04:32:35 +02:00
Tor 0.2.5.1-alpha introduces experimental support for syscall sandboxing
on Linux, allows bridges that offer pluggable transports to report usage
statistics, fixes many issues to make testing easier, and provides
a pile of minor features and bugfixes that have been waiting for a
release of the new branch.
first draft of an 0.2.5.1-alpha changelog
2013-10-02 02:41:46 +02:00
This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to
be bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should
stay with 0.2.4.x for now.
o Major features (security):
- Use the seccomp2 syscall filtering facility on Linux to limit
which system calls Tor can invoke. This is an experimental,
Linux-only feature to provide defense-in-depth against unknown
attacks. To try turning it on, set "Sandbox 1" in your torrc
file. Please be ready to report bugs. We hope to add support
for better sandboxing in the future, including more fine-grained
filters, better division of responsibility, and support for more
platforms. This work has been done by Cristian-Matei Toader for
Google Summer of Code.
- Re-enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 when built with OpenSSL 1.0.1e or later.
Resolves ticket 6055. (OpenSSL before 1.0.1 didn't have TLS 1.1 or
1.2, and OpenSSL from 1.0.1 through 1.0.1d had bugs that prevented
renegotiation from working with TLS 1.1 or 1.2, so we had disabled
them to solve bug 6033.)
o Major features (other):
- Add support for passing arguments to managed pluggable transport
proxies. Implements ticket 3594.
- Bridges now track GeoIP information and the number of their users
even when pluggable transports are in use, and report usage
statistics in their extra-info descriptors. Resolves tickets 4773
and 5040.
- Make testing Tor networks bootstrap better: lower directory fetch
retry schedules and maximum interval without directory requests,
and raise maximum download tries. Implements ticket 6752.
- Add make target 'test-network' to run tests on a Chutney network.
Implements ticket 8530.
- The ntor handshake is now on-by-default, no matter what the
directory authorities recommend. Implements ticket 8561.
o Major bugfixes:
- Instead of writing destroy cells directly to outgoing connection
buffers, queue them and intersperse them with other outgoing cells.
This can prevent a set of resource starvation conditions where too
many pending destroy cells prevent data cells from actually getting
delivered. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed". Fixes bug 7912;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- If we are unable to save a microdescriptor to the journal, do not
drop it from memory and then reattempt downloading it. Fixes bug
9645; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
0.2.5.1-alpha will come out before 0.2.4.18-rc, so get its changes too
2013-10-02 02:49:15 +02:00
- The new channel code sometimes lost track of in-progress circuits,
causing long-running clients to stop building new circuits. The
fix is to always call circuit_n_chan_done(chan, 0) from
channel_closed(). Fixes bug 9776; bugfix on 0.2.4.17-rc.
first draft of an 0.2.5.1-alpha changelog
2013-10-02 02:41:46 +02:00
o Build features:
- Tor now builds each source file in two modes: a mode that avoids
exposing identifiers needlessly, and another mode that exposes
more identifiers for testing. This lets the compiler do better at
optimizing the production code, while enabling us to take more
radical measures to let the unit tests test things.
- The production builds no longer include functions used only in
the unit tests; all functions exposed from a module only for
unit-testing are now static in production builds.
- Add an --enable-coverage configuration option to make the unit
tests (and a new src/or/tor-cov target) to build with gcov test
coverage support.
o Testing:
- We now have rudimentary function mocking support that our unit
tests can use to test functions in isolation. Function mocking
lets the tests temporarily replace a function's dependencies with
stub functions, so that the tests can check the function without
invoking the other functions it calls.
- Add more unit tests for the <circid,channel>->circuit map, and
the destroy-cell-tracking code to fix bug 7912.
- Unit tests for failing cases of the TAP onion handshake.
- More unit tests for address-manipulation functions.
0.2.5.1-alpha will come out before 0.2.4.18-rc, so get its changes too

10 minutes. If a new Support022HiddenServices option is set to 0, or
if it's set to "auto" and the feature is disabled in the consensus,
the timestamp is sent as 0 instead. Implements part of proposal 222.

a big deal from a security point of view, but it achieves no actual
good purpose, and isn't needed. Implements part of proposal 222.
- Reduce down accuracy of timestamps in hidden service descriptors.
Implements part of proposal 222.
first draft of an 0.2.5.1-alpha changelog
2013-10-02 02:41:46 +02:00
o Minor features (config options):
- Config (torrc) lines now handle fingerprints which are missing
their initial '$'. Resolves ticket 4341; improvement over 0.0.9pre5.
- Support a --dump-config option to print some or all of the
configured options. Mainly useful for debugging the command-line
option parsing code. Helps resolve ticket 4647.
- Raise awareness of safer logging: notify user of potentially
unsafe config options, like logging more verbosely than severity
"notice" or setting SafeLogging to 0. Resolves ticket 5584.
- Add a new configuration option TestingV3AuthVotingStartOffset
that bootstraps a network faster by changing the timing for
consensus votes. Addresses ticket 8532.
- Add a new torrc option "ServerTransportOptions" that allows
bridge operators to pass configuration parameters to their
pluggable transports. Resolves ticket 8929.
- The config (torrc) file now accepts bandwidth and space limits in
bits as well as bytes. (Anywhere that you can say "2 Kilobytes",
you can now say "16 kilobits", and so on.) Resolves ticket 9214.
Patch by CharlieB.
o Minor features (build):
- Add support for `--library-versions` flag. Implements ticket 6384.
- Return the "unexpected sendme" warnings to a warn severity, but make
them rate limited, to help diagnose ticket 8093.
- Detect a missing asciidoc, and warn the user about it, during
configure rather than at build time. Fixes issue 6506. Patch from
Arlo Breault.
o Minor features (other):
- Use the SOCK_NONBLOCK socket type, if supported, to open nonblocking
sockets in a single system call. Implements ticket 5129.
- Log current accounting state (bytes sent and received + remaining
time for the current accounting period) in the relay's heartbeat
message. Implements ticket 5526; patch from Peter Retzlaff.
- Implement the TRANSPORT_LAUNCHED control port event that
notifies controllers about new launched pluggable
transports. Resolves ticket 5609.
- If we're using the pure-C 32-bit curve25519_donna implementation
of curve25519, build it with the -fomit-frame-pointer option to
make it go faster on register-starved hosts. This improves our
handshake performance by about 6% on i386 hosts without nacl.
Closes ticket 8109.
0.2.5.1-alpha will come out before 0.2.4.18-rc, so get its changes too
2013-10-02 02:49:15 +02:00
- Update to the September 4 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
first draft of an 0.2.5.1-alpha changelog
2013-10-02 02:41:46 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes:
- Set the listen() backlog limit to the largest actually supported
on the system, not to the value in a header file. Fixes bug 9716;
bugfix on every released Tor.
- No longer accept malformed http headers when parsing urls from
headers. Now we reply with Bad Request ("400"). Fixes bug 2767;
bugfix on 0.0.6pre1.
- In munge_extrainfo_into_routerinfo(), check the return value of
memchr(). This would have been a serious issue if we ever passed
it a non-extrainfo. Fixes bug 8791; bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha. Patch
from Arlo Breault.
- On the chance that somebody manages to build Tor on a
platform where time_t is unsigned, correct the way that
microdesc_add_to_cache() handles negative time arguments.
Fixes bug 8042; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Reject relative control socket paths and emit a warning. Previously,
single-component control socket paths would be rejected, but Tor
would not log why it could not validate the config. Fixes bug 9258;
bugfix on 0.2.3.16-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (command line):
- Use a single command-line parser for parsing torrc options on the
command line and for finding special command-line options to avoid
inconsistent behavior for torrc option arguments that have the same
names as command-line options. Fixes bugs 4647 and 9578; bugfix on
0.0.9pre5.
- No longer allow 'tor --hash-password' with no arguments. Fixes bug
9573; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
o Minor fixes (build, auxiliary programs):
- Stop preprocessing the "torify" script with autoconf, since
it no longer refers to LOCALSTATEDIR. Fixes bug 5505; patch
from Guilhem.
- The tor-fw-helper program now follows the standard convention and
exits with status code "0" on success. Fixes bug 9030; bugfix on
0.2.3.1-alpha. Patch by Arlo Breault.
- Corrected ./configure advice for what openssl dev package you should
install on Debian. Fixes bug 9207; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor code improvements:
- Remove constants and tests for PKCS1 padding; it's insecure and
shouldn't be used for anything new. Fixes bug 8792; patch
from Arlo Breault.
- Remove instances of strcpy() from the unit tests. They weren't
hurting anything, since they were only in the unit tests, but it's
Fix spelling mistakes corresponding to ticket #23650
2018-01-24 09:55:15 +01:00

tools don't like it. Fixes bug 8790; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha and
0.2.3.8-alpha. Patch from Arlo Breault.
o Removed features:
- Remove migration code from when we renamed the "cached-routers"
file to "cached-descriptors" back in 0.2.0.8-alpha. This
incidentally resolves ticket 6502 by cleaning up the related code
a bit. Patch from Akshay Hebbar.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Extract the common duplicated code for creating a subdirectory
of the data directory and writing to a file in it. Fixes ticket
4282; patch from Peter Retzlaff.
- Since OpenSSL 0.9.7, the i2d_*() functions support allocating output
buffer. Avoid calling twice: i2d_RSAPublicKey(), i2d_DHparams(),
i2d_X509(), and i2d_PublicKey(). Resolves ticket 5170.
- Add a set of accessor functions for the circuit timeout data
structure. Fixes ticket 6153; patch from "piet".
- Clean up exit paths from connection_listener_new(). Closes ticket
8789. Patch from Arlo Breault.
- Since we rely on OpenSSL 0.9.8 now, we can use EVP_PKEY_cmp()
and drop our own custom pkey_eq() implementation. Fixes bug 9043.
- Use a doubly-linked list to implement the global circuit list.
Resolves ticket 9108. Patch from Marek Majkowski.
- Remove contrib/id_to_fp.c since it wasn't used anywhere.
forward-port 0.2.4.17-rc changelog
2013-09-09 21:59:03 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.17-rc - 2013-09-05
Tor 0.2.4.17-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It adds an emergency step to help us tolerate the massive
influx of users: 0.2.4 clients using the new (faster and safer) "NTor"
circuit-level handshakes now effectively jump the queue compared to
the 0.2.3 clients using "TAP" handshakes. This release also fixes a
big bug hindering bridge reachability tests.
o Major features:
- Relays now process the new "NTor" circuit-level handshake requests
with higher priority than the old "TAP" circuit-level handshake
requests. We still process some TAP requests to not totally starve
0.2.3 clients when NTor becomes popular. A new consensus parameter
"NumNTorsPerTAP" lets us tune the balance later if we need to.
Implements ticket 9574.
o Major bugfixes:
- If the circuit build timeout logic is disabled (via the consensus,
or because we are an authority), then don't build testing circuits.
Fixes bug 9657; bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha.
- Bridges now send AUTH_CHALLENGE cells during their v3 handshakes;
previously they did not, which prevented them from receiving
successful connections from relays for self-test or bandwidth
testing. Also, when a relay is extending a circuit to a bridge,
it needs to send a NETINFO cell, even when the bridge hasn't sent
an AUTH_CHALLENGE cell. Fixes bug 9546; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- If the time to download the next old-style networkstatus is in
the future, do not decline to consider whether to download the
next microdescriptor networkstatus. Fixes bug 9564; bugfix on
0.2.3.14-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid double-closing the listener socket in our socketpair()
replacement (used on Windows) in the case where the addresses on
our opened sockets don't match what we expected. Fixes bug 9400;
bugfix on 0.0.2pre7. Found by Coverity.
o Minor fixes (config options):
- Avoid overflows when the user sets MaxCircuitDirtiness to a
ridiculously high value, by imposing a (ridiculously high) 30-day
maximum on MaxCircuitDirtiness.
- Fix the documentation of HeartbeatPeriod to say that the heartbeat
message is logged at notice, not at info.
- Warn and fail if a server is configured not to advertise any
ORPorts at all. (We need *something* to put in our descriptor,
or we just won't work.)
o Minor features:
- Track how many "TAP" and "NTor" circuit handshake requests we get,
and how many we complete, and log it every hour to help relay
operators follow trends in network load. Addresses ticket 9658.
- Update to the August 7 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

2013-08-11 00:30:42 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.16-rc - 2013-08-10
Tor 0.2.4.16-rc is the second release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It fixes several crash bugs in the 0.2.4 branch.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bug in the voting algorithm that could yield incorrect results
when a non-naming authority declared too many flags. Fixes bug 9200;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Fix an uninitialized read that could in some cases lead to a remote

2013-08-11 00:30:42 +02:00
Anybody running a hidden service on the experimental 0.2.4.x
branch should upgrade. (This is, so far as we know, unrelated to
the recent news.)
- Avoid an assertion failure when processing DNS replies without the
answer types we expected. Fixes bug 9337; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
- Avoid a crash when using --hash-password. Fixes bug 9295; bugfix on
0.2.4.15-rc. Found by stem integration tests.
o Minor bugfixes:
Fix spelling mistakes corresponding to ticket #23650

Fixes bug 9288; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- When evaluating whether to use a connection that we haven't
decided is canonical using a recent link protocol version,
decide that it's canonical only if it used address _does_
match the desired address. Fixes bug 9309; bugfix on
0.2.4.4-alpha. Reported by skruffy.
- Make the default behavior of NumDirectoryGuards be to track
NumEntryGuards. Now a user who changes only NumEntryGuards will get
the behavior she expects. Fixes bug 9354; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Fix a spurious compilation warning with some older versions of
GCC on FreeBSD. Fixes bug 9254; bugfix on 0.2.4.14-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Update to the July 3 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
forward-port 0.2.4.15-rc changelog
2013-08-05 08:47:40 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.15-rc - 2013-07-01
Tor 0.2.4.15-rc is the first release candidate for the Tor 0.2.4.x
series. It fixes a few smaller bugs, but generally appears stable.
Please test it and let us know whether it is!
o Major bugfixes:
- When receiving a new configuration file via the control port's
LOADCONF command, do not treat the defaults file as absent.
Fixes bug 9122; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Issue a warning when running with the bufferevents backend enabled.
It's still not stable, and people should know that they're likely
to hit unexpected problems. Closes ticket 9147.
Forward-port the 0.2.4.14-alpha changelog
2013-06-18 22:25:56 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.14-alpha - 2013-06-18
Tor 0.2.4.14-alpha fixes a pair of client guard enumeration problems
present in 0.2.4.13-alpha.
o Major bugfixes:
- When we have too much memory queued in circuits (according to a new
MaxMemInCellQueues option), close the circuits consuming the most
memory. This prevents us from running out of memory as a relay if
circuits fill up faster than they can be drained. Fixes bug 9063;
bugfix on the 54th commit of Tor. This bug is a further fix beyond
bug 6252, whose fix was merged into 0.2.3.21-rc.
This change also fixes an earlier approach taken in 0.2.4.13-alpha,
where we tried to solve this issue simply by imposing an upper limit
on the number of queued cells for a single circuit. That approach
proved to be problematic, since there are ways to provoke clients to
send a number of cells in excess of any such reasonable limit. Fixes
bug 9072; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
- Limit hidden service descriptors to at most ten introduction
points, to slow one kind of guard enumeration. Fixes bug 9002;
bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
forward-port 0.2.4.13-alpha changelog
2013-06-16 21:12:23 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.13-alpha - 2013-06-14
Tor 0.2.4.13-alpha fixes a variety of potential remote crash
vulnerabilities, makes socks5 username/password circuit isolation
actually actually work (this time for sure!), and cleans up a bunch
of other issues in preparation for a release candidate.
o Major bugfixes (robustness):
- Close any circuit that has too many cells queued on it. Fixes
bug 9063; bugfix on the 54th commit of Tor. This bug is a further
fix beyond bug 6252, whose fix was merged into 0.2.3.21-rc.
- Prevent the get_freelists() function from running off the end of
the list of freelists if it somehow gets an unrecognized
allocation. Fixes bug 8844; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by
eugenis.
- Avoid an assertion failure on OpenBSD (and perhaps other BSDs)
when an exit connection with optimistic data succeeds immediately
rather than returning EINPROGRESS. Fixes bug 9017; bugfix on
0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Fix a directory authority crash bug when building a consensus
using an older consensus as its basis. Fixes bug 8833. Bugfix
on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
o Major bugfixes:
- Avoid a memory leak where we would leak a consensus body when we
find that a consensus which we couldn't previously verify due to
missing certificates is now verifiable. Fixes bug 8719; bugfix
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- We used to always request authority certificates by identity digest,
meaning we'd get the newest one even when we wanted one with a
different signing key. Then we would complain about being given
a certificate we already had, and never get the one we really
wanted. Now we use the "fp-sk/" resource as well as the "fp/"
resource to request the one we want. Fixes bug 5595; bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha.
- Follow the socks5 protocol when offering username/password
authentication. The fix for bug 8117 exposed this bug, and it
turns out real-world applications like Pidgin do care. Bugfix on
0.2.3.2-alpha; fixes bug 8879.
- Prevent failures on Windows Vista and later when rebuilding the
microdescriptor cache. Diagnosed by Robert Ransom. Fixes bug 8822;
bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix an impossible buffer overrun in the AES unit tests. Fixes
bug 8845; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha. Found by eugenis.
- If for some reason we fail to write a microdescriptor while
rebuilding the cache, do not let the annotations from that
microdescriptor linger in the cache file, and do not let the
microdescriptor stay recorded as present in its old location.
Fixes bug 9047; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak that would occur whenever a configuration
option changed. Fixes bug 8718; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
- Paste the description for PathBias parameters from the man
page into or.h, so the code documents them too. Fixes bug 7982;
bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta and 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Relays now treat a changed IPv6 ORPort as sufficient reason to
publish an updated descriptor. Fixes bug 6026; bugfix on
0.2.4.1-alpha.
forward-port the reformat of changelog stanza
2013-08-05 08:42:27 +02:00
- When launching a resolve request on behalf of an AF_UNIX control
socket, omit the address field of the new entry connection, used in
subsequent controller events, rather than letting tor_dup_addr()
set it to "<unknown address type>". Fixes bug 8639; bugfix on
0.2.4.12-alpha.
forward-port 0.2.4.13-alpha changelog
2013-06-16 21:12:23 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes (log messages):
- Fix a scaling issue in the path bias accounting code that
resulted in "Bug:" log messages from either
pathbias_scale_close_rates() or pathbias_count_build_success().
This represents a bugfix on a previous bugfix: the original fix
attempted in 0.2.4.10-alpha was incomplete. Fixes bug 8235; bugfix
on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Give a less useless error message when the user asks for an IPv4
address on an IPv6-only port, or vice versa. Fixes bug 8846; bugfix
on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Downgrade "unexpected SENDME" warnings to protocol-warn for 0.2.4.x,
to tolerate bug 8093 for now.
- Add an "ignoring-advertised-bws" boolean to the flag-threshold lines
in directory authority votes to describe whether they have enough
measured bandwidths to ignore advertised (relay descriptor)
bandwidth claims. Resolves ticket 8711.
- Update to the June 5 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Removed documentation:
- Remove some of the older contents of doc/ as obsolete; move others
to torspec.git. Fixes bug 8965.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Avoid using character buffers when constructing most directory
objects: this approach was unwieldy and error-prone. Instead,
build smartlists of strings, and concatenate them when done.
forward-port 0.2.4.1[12] changelogs
2013-04-18 11:48:25 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.12-alpha - 2013-04-18
Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha moves Tor forward on several fronts: it starts the
process for lengthening the guard rotation period, makes directory
authority opinions in the consensus a bit less gameable, makes socks5
username/password circuit isolation actually work, and fixes a wide
variety of other issues.
o Major features:
- Raise the default time that a client keeps an entry guard from
"1-2 months" to "2-3 months", as suggested by Tariq Elahi's WPES
2012 paper. (We would make it even longer, but we need better client
load balancing first.) Also, make the guard lifetime controllable
via a new GuardLifetime torrc option and a GuardLifetime consensus
parameter. Start of a fix for bug 8240; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
- Directory authorities now prefer using measured bandwidths to
advertised ones when computing flags and thresholds. Resolves
ticket 8273.
- Directory authorities that have more than a threshold number
of relays with measured bandwidths now treat relays with unmeasured
bandwidths as having bandwidth 0. Resolves ticket 8435.
o Major bugfixes (assert / resource use):
- Avoid a bug where our response to TLS renegotiation under certain
network conditions could lead to a busy-loop, with 100% CPU
consumption. Fixes bug 5650; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Avoid an assertion when we discover that we'd like to write a cell
onto a closing connection: just discard the cell. Fixes another
case of bug 7350; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (client-side privacy):
- When we mark a circuit as unusable for new circuits, have it
continue to be unusable for new circuits even if MaxCircuitDirtiness
is increased too much at the wrong time, or the system clock jumps
backwards. Fixes bug 6174; bugfix on 0.0.2pre26.
- If ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses ("do not believe DNS queries
which have resolved to internal addresses") is set, apply that
rule to IPv6 as well. Fixes bug 8475; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.
- When an exit relay rejects a stream with reason "exit policy", but
we only know an exit policy summary (e.g. from the microdesc
consensus) for it, do not mark the relay as useless for all exiting.
Instead, mark just the circuit as unsuitable for that particular
address. Fixes part of bug 7582; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Allow applications to get proper stream isolation with
IsolateSOCKSAuth. Many SOCKS5 clients that want to offer
username/password authentication also offer "no authentication". Tor
had previously preferred "no authentication", so the applications
never actually sent Tor their auth details. Now Tor selects
username/password authentication if it's offered. You can disable
this behavior on a per-SOCKSPort basis via PreferSOCKSNoAuth. Fixes
bug 8117; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (other):
- When unable to find any working directory nodes to use as a
directory guard, give up rather than adding the same non-working
nodes to the directory guard list over and over. Fixes bug 8231;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Reject as invalid most directory objects containing a NUL.
Belt-and-suspender fix for bug 8037.
- In our testsuite, create temporary directories with a bit more
entropy in their name to make name collisions less likely. Fixes
bug 8638.
- Add CACHED keyword to ADDRMAP events in the control protocol
to indicate whether a DNS result will be cached or not. Resolves
ticket 8596.
- Update to the April 3 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor features (build):
- Detect and reject attempts to build Tor with threading support
when OpenSSL has been compiled without threading support.
Fixes bug 6673.
- Clarify that when autoconf is checking for nacl, it is checking
specifically for nacl with a fast curve25519 implementation.
Fixes bug 8014.
- Warn if building on a platform with an unsigned time_t: there
are too many places where Tor currently assumes that time_t can
hold negative values. We'd like to fix them all, but probably
some will remain.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- Fix some bugs in tor-fw-helper-natpmp when trying to build and
run it on Windows. More bugs likely remain. Patch from Gisle Vanem.
Fixes bug 7280; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Add the old src/or/micro-revision.i filename to CLEANFILES.
On the off chance that somebody has one, it will go away as soon
as they run "make clean". Fix for bug 7143; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Build Tor correctly on 32-bit platforms where the compiler can build
but not run code using the "uint128_t" construction. Fixes bug 8587;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Fix compilation warning with some versions of clang that would
prefer the -Wswitch-enum compiler flag to warn about switch
statements with missing enum values, even if those switch
statements have a "default:" statement. Fixes bug 8598; bugfix
on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (protocol):
- Fix the handling of a TRUNCATE cell when it arrives while the
circuit extension is in progress. Fixes bug 7947; bugfix on 0.0.7.1.
- Fix a misframing issue when reading the version numbers in a
VERSIONS cell. Previously we would recognize [00 01 00 02] as
'version 1, version 2, and version 0x100', when it should have
only included versions 1 and 2. Fixes bug 8059; bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha. Reported pseudonymously.
- Make the format and order of STREAM events for DNS lookups
consistent among the various ways to launch DNS lookups. Fixes
whitespace and typo fixes
2018-01-06 21:02:12 +01:00
bug 8203; bugfix on 0.2.0.24-rc. Patch by "Desoxy".
forward-port 0.2.4.1[12] changelogs
2013-04-18 11:48:25 +02:00
- Correct our check for which versions of Tor support the EXTEND2
cell. We had been willing to send it to Tor 0.2.4.7-alpha and
later, when support was really added in version 0.2.4.8-alpha.
Fixes bug 8464; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (other):
- Correctly store microdescriptors and extrainfo descriptors with
an internal NUL byte. Fixes bug 8037; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
Bug reported by "cypherpunks".
- Increase the width of the field used to remember a connection's
link protocol version to two bytes. Harmless for now, since the
only currently recognized versions are one byte long. Reported
pseudonymously. Fixes bug 8062; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- If the state file's path bias counts are invalid (presumably from a
buggy Tor prior to 0.2.4.10-alpha), make them correct. Also add
additional checks and log messages to the scaling of Path Bias
counts, in case there still are remaining issues with scaling.
Should help resolve bug 8235.
- Eliminate several instances where we use "Nickname=ID" to refer to
nodes in logs. Use "Nickname (ID)" instead. (Elsewhere, we still use
"$ID=Nickname", which is also acceptable.) Fixes bug 7065. Bugfix
on 0.2.3.21-rc, 0.2.4.5-alpha, 0.2.4.8-alpha, and 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (syscalls):
- Always check the return values of functions fcntl() and
setsockopt(). We don't believe these are ever actually failing in
practice, but better safe than sorry. Also, checking these return
values should please analysis tools like Coverity. Patch from
'flupzor'. Fixes bug 8206; bugfix on all versions of Tor.
- Use direct writes rather than stdio when building microdescriptor
caches, in an attempt to mitigate bug 8031, or at least make it
less common.
o Minor bugfixes (config):
- When rejecting a configuration because we were unable to parse a
quoted string, log an actual error message. Fixes bug 7950; bugfix
on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Behave correctly when the user disables LearnCircuitBuildTimeout
but doesn't tell us what they would like the timeout to be. Fixes
bug 6304; bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha.
- When autodetecting the number of CPUs, use the number of available
CPUs in preference to the number of configured CPUs. Inform the
user if this reduces the number of available CPUs. Fixes bug 8002;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Make it an error when you set EntryNodes but disable UseGuardNodes,
since it will (surprisingly to some users) ignore EntryNodes. Fixes
bug 8180; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
- Allow TestingTorNetworks to override the 4096-byte minimum for
the Fast threshold. Otherwise they can't bootstrap until they've
observed more traffic. Fixes bug 8508; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
- Fix some logic errors when the user manually overrides the
PathsNeededToBuildCircuits option in torrc. Fixes bug 8599; bugfix
on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (log messages to help diagnose bugs):
- If we fail to free a microdescriptor because of bug 7164, log
the filename and line number from which we tried to free it.
- Add another diagnostic to the heartbeat message: track and log
overhead that TLS is adding to the data we write. If this is
high, we are sending too little data to SSL_write at a time.
Diagnostic for bug 7707.
- Add more detail to a log message about relaxed timeouts, to help
track bug 7799.
- Warn more aggressively when flushing microdescriptors to a
microdescriptor cache fails, in an attempt to mitigate bug 8031,
or at least make it more diagnosable.
- Improve debugging output to help track down bug 8185 ("Bug:
outgoing relay cell has n_chan==NULL. Dropping.")
- Log the purpose of a path-bias testing circuit correctly.
Improves a log message from bug 8477; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (0.2.4.x log messages that were too noisy):
- Don't attempt to relax the timeout of already opened 1-hop circuits.
They might never timeout. This should eliminate some/all cases of
the relaxed timeout log message.
- Use circuit creation time for network liveness evaluation. This
should eliminate warning log messages about liveness caused
by changes in timeout evaluation. Fixes bug 6572; bugfix on
0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Reduce a path bias length check from notice to info. The message
is triggered when creating controller circuits. Fixes bug 8196;
bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Fix a path state issue that triggered a notice during relay startup.
Fixes bug 8320; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
- Reduce occurrences of warns about circuit purpose in
connection_ap_expire_building(). Fixes bug 8477; bugfix on
0.2.4.11-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pre-0.2.4.x log messages that were too noisy):
- If we encounter a write failure on a SOCKS connection before we
finish our SOCKS handshake, don't warn that we closed the
connection before we could send a SOCKS reply. Fixes bug 8427;
bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Correctly recognize that [::1] is a loopback address. Fixes
bug 8377; bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
- Fix a directory authority warn caused when we have a large amount
of badexit bandwidth. Fixes bug 8419; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.
- Don't log inappropriate heartbeat messages when hibernating: a
hibernating node is _expected_ to drop out of the consensus,
decide it isn't bootstrapped, and so forth. Fixes bug 7302;
bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Don't complain about bootstrapping problems while hibernating.
These complaints reflect a general code problem, but not one
with any problematic effects (no connections are actually
opened). Fixes part of bug 7302; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
o Documentation fixes:
- Update tor-fw-helper.1.txt and tor-fw-helper.c to make option
names match. Fixes bug 7768.
- Make the torify manpage no longer refer to tsocks; torify hasn't
supported tsocks since 0.2.3.14-alpha.
- Make the tor manpage no longer reference tsocks.
- Fix the GeoIPExcludeUnknown documentation to refer to
ExcludeExitNodes rather than the currently nonexistent
ExcludeEntryNodes. Spotted by "hamahangi" on tor-talk.
o Removed files:
- The tor-tsocks.conf is no longer distributed or installed. We
recommend that tsocks users use torsocks instead. Resolves
ticket 8290.
Changes in version 0.2.4.11-alpha - 2013-03-11
Tor 0.2.4.11-alpha makes relay measurement by directory authorities
more robust, makes hidden service authentication work again, and
resolves a DPI fingerprint for Tor's SSL transport.
o Major features (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities now support a new consensus method (17)
where they cap the published bandwidth of servers for which
insufficient bandwidth measurements exist. Fixes part of bug 2286.
- Directory authorities that set "DisableV2DirectoryInfo_ 1" no longer
serve any v2 directory information. Now we can test disabling the
old deprecated v2 directory format, and see whether doing so has
any effect on network load. Begins to fix bug 6783.
- Directory authorities now include inside each vote a statement of
the performance thresholds they used when assigning flags.
Implements ticket 8151.
o Major bugfixes (directory authorities):
- Stop marking every relay as having been down for one hour every
time we restart a directory authority. These artificial downtimes
were messing with our Stable and Guard flag calculations. Fixes
bug 8218 (introduced by the fix for 1035). Bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- Allow hidden service authentication to succeed again. When we
refactored the hidden service introduction code back
in 0.2.4.1-alpha, we didn't update the code that checks
whether authentication information is present, causing all
authentication checks to return "false". Fix for bug 8207; bugfix
on 0.2.4.1-alpha. Found by Coverity; this is CID 718615.
o Minor features (relays, bridges):
- Make bridge relays check once a minute for whether their IP
address has changed, rather than only every 15 minutes. Resolves
bugs 1913 and 1992.
- Refactor resolve_my_address() so it returns the method by which we
decided our public IP address (explicitly configured, resolved from
explicit hostname, guessed from interfaces, learned by gethostname).
Now we can provide more helpful log messages when a relay guesses
its IP address incorrectly (e.g. due to unexpected lines in
/etc/hosts). Resolves ticket 2267.
- Teach bridge-using clients to avoid 0.2.2 bridges when making
microdescriptor-related dir requests, and only fall back to normal
descriptors if none of their bridges can handle microdescriptors
(as opposed to the fix in ticket 4013, which caused them to fall
back to normal descriptors if *any* of their bridges preferred
them). Resolves ticket 4994.
- Randomize the lifetime of our SSL link certificate, so censors can't
use the static value for filtering Tor flows. Resolves ticket 8443;
related to ticket 4014 which was included in 0.2.2.33.
Fwd-port: Add a missing changelog entry back from 0.2.4.11-alpha When I merged the fix for #7351, and implemented proposal 214 (4-byte circuit IDs), I forgot to add a changes file. Later, we never noticed that it didn't have one. Resolves ticket #11555. Thanks to cypherpunks for noticing this was missing. This is a cherry-pick of 75e10f58a97f051f7d8576f96c2e32fcb2f07ade into the master branch.
2014-04-24 20:00:36 +02:00
- Support a new version of the link protocol that allows 4-byte circuit
IDs. Previously, circuit IDs were limited to 2 bytes, which presented
a possible resource exhaustion issue. Closes ticket 7351; implements
proposal 214.
forward-port 0.2.4.1[12] changelogs
2013-04-18 11:48:25 +02:00
o Minor features (portability):
- Tweak the curve25519-donna*.c implementations to tolerate systems
that lack stdint.h. Fixes bug 3894; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Use Ville Laurikari's implementation of AX_CHECK_SIGN() to determine
the signs of types during autoconf. This is better than our old
approach, which didn't work when cross-compiling.
- Detect the sign of enum values, rather than assuming that MSC is the
only compiler where enum types are all signed. Fixes bug 7727;
bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor features (other):
- Say "KBytes" rather than "KB" in the man page (for various values
of K), to further reduce confusion about whether Tor counts in
units of memory or fractions of units of memory. Resolves ticket 7054.
- Clear the high bit on curve25519 public keys before passing them to
our backend, in case we ever wind up using a backend that doesn't do
so itself. If we used such a backend, and *didn't* clear the high bit,
we could wind up in a situation where users with such backends would
be distinguishable from users without. Fixes bug 8121; bugfix on
0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Update to the March 6 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (clients):
- When we receive a RELAY_END cell with the reason DONE, or with no
reason, before receiving a RELAY_CONNECTED cell, report the SOCKS
status as "connection refused". Previously we reported these cases
as success but then immediately closed the connection. Fixes bug
7902; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed".
- Downgrade an assertion in connection_ap_expire_beginning to an
LD_BUG message. The fix for bug 8024 should prevent this message
from displaying, but just in case, a warn that we can diagnose
is better than more assert crashes. Fixes bug 8065; bugfix on
0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Lower path use bias thresholds to .80 for notice and .60 for warn.
Also make the rate limiting flags for the path use bias log messages
independent from the original path bias flags. Fixes bug 8161;
bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (relays):
- Stop trying to resolve our hostname so often (e.g. every time we
think about doing a directory fetch). Now we reuse the cached
answer in some cases. Fixes bugs 1992 (bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc)
and 2410 (bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha).
- Stop sending a stray "(null)" in some cases for the server status
"EXTERNAL_ADDRESS" controller event. Resolves bug 8200; bugfix
on 0.1.2.6-alpha.
- When choosing which stream on a formerly stalled circuit to wake
first, make better use of the platform's weak RNG. Previously,
we had been using the % ("modulo") operator to try to generate a
1/N chance of picking each stream, but this behaves badly with
many platforms' choice of weak RNG. Fixes bug 7801; bugfix on
0.2.2.20-alpha.
- Use our own weak RNG when we need a weak RNG. Windows's rand() and
Irix's random() only return 15 bits; Solaris's random() returns more
bits but its RAND_MAX says it only returns 15, and so on. Motivated
by the fix for bug 7801; bugfix on 0.2.2.20-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities now use less space when formatting identical
microdescriptor lines in directory votes. Fixes bug 8158; bugfix
on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks spotted by Coverity -- bug 7816):
- Avoid leaking memory if we fail to compute a consensus signature
or we generate a consensus we can't parse. Bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak when receiving headers from an HTTPS proxy. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak during safe-cookie controller authentication.
Bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
- Avoid memory leak of IPv6 policy content if we fail to format it into
a router descriptor. Bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (other code correctness issues):
- Avoid a crash if we fail to generate an extrainfo descriptor.
Fixes bug 8208; bugfix on 0.2.3.16-alpha. Found by Coverity;
this is CID 718634.
- When detecting the largest possible file descriptor (in order to
close all file descriptors when launching a new program), actually
use _SC_OPEN_MAX. The old code for doing this was very, very broken.
Fixes bug 8209; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. Found by Coverity; this
is CID 743383.
- Fix a copy-and-paste error when adding a missing A1 to a routerset
because of GeoIPExcludeUnknown. Fix for Coverity CID 980650.
Bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
- Fix an impossible-to-trigger integer overflow when estimating how
long our onionskin queue would take. (This overflow would require us
to accept 4 million onionskins before processing 100 of them.) Fixes
bug 8210; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Add a wrapper function for the common "log a message with a
rate-limit" case.

2013-02-04 23:06:01 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.10-alpha - 2013-02-04
Tor 0.2.4.10-alpha adds defenses at the directory authority level from
certain attacks that flood the network with relays; changes the queue
for circuit create requests from a sized-based limit to a time-based
limit; resumes building with MSVC on Windows; and fixes a wide variety
of other issues.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority):
- When computing directory thresholds, ignore any rejected-as-sybil
nodes during the computation so that they can't influence Fast,
revise history
2013-02-05 06:48:24 +01:00
Guard, etc. (We should have done this for proposal 109.) Fixes
fold in changes for 0.2.4.10-alpha
2013-02-04 23:06:01 +01:00
bug 8146.
- When marking a node as a likely sybil, reset its uptime metrics
to zero, so that it cannot time towards getting marked as Guard,
revise history
2013-02-05 06:48:24 +01:00
Stable, or HSDir. (We should have done this for proposal 109.) Fixes
fold in changes for 0.2.4.10-alpha
2013-02-04 23:06:01 +01:00
bug 8147.
o Major bugfixes:
- When a TLS write is partially successful but incomplete, remember
that the flushed part has been flushed, and notice that bytes were
actually written. Reported and fixed pseudonymously. Fixes bug
7708; bugfix on Tor 0.1.0.5-rc.
- Reject bogus create and relay cells with 0 circuit ID or 0 stream
ID: these could be used to create unexpected streams and circuits
which would count as "present" to some parts of Tor but "absent"
to others, leading to zombie circuits and streams or to a bandwidth
denial-of-service. Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on every released version
of Tor. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed".
- Rename all macros in our local copy of queue.h to begin with "TOR_".
This change seems the only good way to permanently prevent conflicts
with queue.h on various operating systems. Fixes bug 8107; bugfix
on 0.2.4.6-alpha.
o Major features (relay):
- Instead of limiting the number of queued onionskins (aka circuit
create requests) to a fixed, hard-to-configure number, we limit
the size of the queue based on how many we expect to be able to
process in a given amount of time. We estimate the time it will
take to process an onionskin based on average processing time
of previous onionskins. Closes ticket 7291. You'll never have to
configure MaxOnionsPending again.
o Major features (portability):
- Resume building correctly with MSVC and Makefile.nmake. This patch
resolves numerous bugs and fixes reported by ultramage, including
7305, 7308, 7309, 7310, 7312, 7313, 7315, 7316, and 7669.
- Make the ntor and curve25519 code build correctly with MSVC.
Fix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Minor features:
- When directory authorities are computing thresholds for flags,
never let the threshold for the Fast flag fall below 4096
bytes. Also, do not consider nodes with extremely low bandwidths
when deciding thresholds for various directory flags. This change
should raise our threshold for Fast relays, possibly in turn
improving overall network performance; see ticket 1854. Resolves
ticket 8145.
- The Tor client now ignores sub-domain components of a .onion
address. This change makes HTTP "virtual" hosting
possible: http://foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion/ and
http://bar.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion/ can be two different websites
hosted on the same hidden service. Implements proposal 204.
- We compute the overhead from passing onionskins back and forth to
cpuworkers, and report it when dumping statistics in response to
SIGUSR1. Supports ticket 7291.
o Minor features (path selection):
- When deciding whether we have enough descriptors to build circuits,
instead of looking at raw relay counts, look at which fraction
of (bandwidth-weighted) paths we're able to build. This approach
keeps clients from building circuits if their paths are likely to
stand out statistically. The default fraction of paths needed is
taken from the consensus directory; you can override it with the
new PathsNeededToBuildCircuits option. Fixes ticket 5956.
- When any country code is listed in ExcludeNodes or ExcludeExitNodes,
and we have GeoIP information, also exclude all nodes with unknown
countries "??" and "A1". This behavior is controlled by the
new GeoIPExcludeUnknown option: you can make such nodes always
excluded with "GeoIPExcludeUnknown 1", and disable the feature
with "GeoIPExcludeUnknown 0". Setting "GeoIPExcludeUnknown auto"
gets you the default behavior. Implements feature 7706.
- Path Use Bias: Perform separate accounting for successful circuit
use. Keep separate statistics on stream attempt rates versus stream
success rates for each guard. Provide configurable thresholds to
determine when to emit log messages or disable use of guards that
fail too many stream attempts. Resolves ticket 7802.
o Minor features (log messages):
- When learning a fingerprint for a bridge, log its corresponding
transport type. Implements ticket 7896.
- Improve the log message when "Bug/attack: unexpected sendme cell
from client" occurs, to help us track bug 8093.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Remove a couple of extraneous semicolons that were upsetting the
cparser library. Patch by Christian Grothoff. Fixes bug 7115;
bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
- Remove a source of rounding error during path bias count scaling;
don't count cannibalized circuits as used for path bias until we
actually try to use them; and fix a circuit_package_relay_cell()
warning message about n_chan==NULL. Fixes bug 7802.
- Detect nacl when its headers are in a nacl/ subdirectory. Also,
actually link against nacl when we're configured to use it. Fixes
bug 7972; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
- Compile correctly with the --disable-curve25519 option. Fixes
bug 8153; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
o Build improvements:
- Do not report status verbosely from autogen.sh unless the -v flag
is specified. Fixes issue 4664. Patch from Onizuka.
- Replace all calls to snprintf() outside of src/ext with
tor_snprintf(). Also remove the #define to replace snprintf with
_snprintf on Windows; they have different semantics, and all of
our callers should be using tor_snprintf() anyway. Fixes bug 7304.
- Try to detect if we are ever building on a platform where
memset(...,0,...) does not set the value of a double to 0.0. Such
platforms are permitted by the C standard, though in practice
they're pretty rare (since IEEE 754 is nigh-ubiquitous). We don't
currently support them, but it's better to detect them and fail
than to perform erroneously.
o Removed features:
- Stop exporting estimates of v2 and v3 directory traffic shares
in extrainfo documents. They were unneeded and sometimes inaccurate.
Also stop exporting any v2 directory request statistics. Resolves
ticket 5823.
- Drop support for detecting and warning about versions of Libevent
before 1.3e. Nothing reasonable ships with them any longer;
warning the user about them shouldn't be needed. Resolves ticket
6826.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Rename "isin" functions to "contains", for grammar. Resolves
ticket 5285.
- Rename Tor's logging function log() to tor_log(), to avoid conflicts
with the natural logarithm function from the system libm. Resolves
ticket 7599.

Changes in version 0.2.4.9-alpha - 2013-01-15
Tor 0.2.4.9-alpha provides a quick fix to make the new ntor handshake
work more robustly.
o Major bugfixes:

Tor 0.2.4.8-alpha introduces directory guards to reduce user enumeration
risks, adds a new stronger and faster circuit handshake, and offers
stronger and faster link encryption when both sides support it.

o Major features:
- Preliminary support for directory guards (proposal 207): when
possible, clients now use their entry guards for non-anonymous
directory requests. This can help prevent client enumeration. Note
that this behavior only works when we have a usable consensus

directory, and when options about what to download are more or less
standard. In the future we should re-bootstrap from our guards,
rather than re-bootstrapping from the preconfigured list of
directory sources that ships with Tor. Resolves ticket 6526.
- Tor relays and clients now support a better CREATE/EXTEND cell

format, allowing the sender to specify multiple address, identity,
and handshake types. Implements Robert Ransom's proposal 200;
closes ticket 7199.
o Major features (new circuit handshake):
- Tor now supports a new circuit extension handshake designed by Ian
Goldberg, Douglas Stebila, and Berkant Ustaoglu. Our original
circuit extension handshake, later called "TAP", was a bit slow

(especially on the relay side), had a fragile security proof, and
start folding in the changes entries
2013-01-14 19:34:59 +01:00
used weaker keys than we'd now prefer. The new circuit handshake
uses Dan Bernstein's "curve25519" elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman
function, making it significantly more secure than the older
handshake, and significantly faster. Tor can use one of two built-in
pure-C curve25519-donna implementations by Adam Langley, or it
can link against the "nacl" library for a tuned version if present.
The built-in version is very fast for 64-bit systems when building
with GCC. The built-in 32-bit version is still faster than the
old TAP protocol, but using libnacl is better on most such hosts.
Clients don't currently use this protocol by default, since
comparatively few clients support it so far. To try it, set
UseNTorHandshake to 1.
Implements proposal 216; closes ticket 7202.
o Major features (better link encryption):
finish poking at the changelog
2013-01-15 00:46:32 +01:00
- Relays can now enable the ECDHE TLS ciphersuites when available
and appropriate. These ciphersuites let us negotiate forward-secure
TLS secret keys more safely and more efficiently than with our
previous use of Diffie-Hellman modulo a 1024-bit prime. By default,
public relays prefer the (faster) P224 group, and bridges prefer
the (more common) P256 group; you can override this with the
TLSECGroup option.
start folding in the changes entries
2013-01-14 19:34:59 +01:00
Enabling these ciphers was a little tricky, since for a long time,
clients had been claiming to support them without actually doing
so, in order to foil fingerprinting. But with the client-side
implementation of proposal 198 in 0.2.3.17-beta, clients can now
match the ciphers from recent Firefox versions *and* list the

o Minor features:
- Improve circuit build timeout handling for hidden services.
In particular: adjust build timeouts more accurately depending
upon the number of hop-RTTs that a particular circuit type
undergoes. Additionally, launch intro circuits in parallel
if they timeout, and take the first one to reply as valid.

- Add benchmark functions to test onion handshake performance.
o Minor features (path bias detection):
- Alter the Path Bias log messages to be more descriptive in terms
of reporting timeouts and other statistics.
- Create three levels of Path Bias log messages, as opposed to just
two. These are configurable via consensus as well as via the torrc
options PathBiasNoticeRate, PathBiasWarnRate, PathBiasExtremeRate.
The default values are 0.70, 0.50, and 0.30 respectively.
- Separate the log message levels from the decision to drop guards,
which also is available via torrc option PathBiasDropGuards.
PathBiasDropGuards still defaults to 0 (off).
- Deprecate PathBiasDisableRate in favor of PathBiasDropGuards
in combination with PathBiasExtremeRate.
- Increase the default values for PathBiasScaleThreshold and
PathBiasCircThreshold from (200, 20) to (300, 150).
- Add in circuit usage accounting to path bias. If we try to use a
built circuit but fail for any reason, it counts as path bias.
Certain classes of circuits where the adversary gets to pick your
destination node are exempt from this accounting. Usage accounting
can be specifically disabled via consensus parameter or torrc.
- Convert all internal path bias state to double-precision floating
point, to avoid roundoff error and other issues.
- Only record path bias information for circuits that have completed
*two* hops. Assuming end-to-end tagging is the attack vector, this

- Avoid spurious warnings when configuring multiple client ports of
which only some are nonlocal. Previously, we had claimed that some
were nonlocal when in fact they weren't. Fixes bug 7836; bugfix on
0.2.3.3-alpha.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Get rid of a couple of harmless clang warnings, where we compared
enums to ints. These warnings are newly introduced in clang 3.2.
- Split the onion.c file into separate modules for the onion queue
and the different handshakes it supports.
- Remove the marshalling/unmarshalling code for sending requests to
cpuworkers over a socket, and instead just send structs. The
recipient will always be the same Tor binary as the sender, so
any encoding is overkill.

Changes in version 0.2.4.7-alpha - 2012-12-24
add a blurb for 0.2.4.7-alpha too
2012-12-24 10:19:18 +01:00
Tor 0.2.4.7-alpha introduces a new approach to providing fallback
directory mirrors for more robust bootstrapping; fixes more issues where
clients with changing network conditions refuse to make any circuits;
adds initial support for exiting to IPv6 addresses; resumes being able
to update our GeoIP database, and includes the geoip6 file this time;
turns off the client-side DNS cache by default due to privacy risks;
and fixes a variety of other issues.
fold in changes files so far
2012-12-24 10:01:44 +01:00
o Major features (client resilience):
- Add a new "FallbackDir" torrc option to use when we can't use
a directory mirror from the consensus (either because we lack a
consensus, or because they're all down). Currently, all authorities
are fallbacks by default, and there are no other default fallbacks,
but that will change. This option will allow us to give clients a
longer list of servers to try to get a consensus from when first
connecting to the Tor network, and thereby reduce load on the
directory authorities. Implements proposal 206, "Preconfigured
directory sources for bootstrapping". We also removed the old
"FallbackNetworkstatus" option, since we never got it working well
enough to use it. Closes bug 572.
- If we have no circuits open, use a relaxed timeout (the
95-percentile cutoff) until a circuit succeeds. This heuristic
should allow Tor to succeed at building circuits even when the
network connection drastically changes. Should help with bug 3443.
o Major features (IPv6):
rewrite history to improve two changelog entries
2013-10-11 03:17:19 +02:00
- Relays can now exit to IPv6 addresses: make sure that you have IPv6
fold in changes files so far
2012-12-24 10:01:44 +01:00
connectivity, then set the IPv6Exit flag to 1. Also make sure your
exit policy reads as you would like: the address * applies to all
address families, whereas *4 is IPv4 address only, and *6 is IPv6
addresses only. On the client side, you'll need to wait until the
authorities have upgraded, wait for enough exits to support IPv6,
apply the "IPv6Traffic" flag to a SocksPort, and use Socks5. Closes
ticket 5547, implements proposal 117 as revised in proposal 208.
We DO NOT recommend that clients with actual anonymity needs start
using IPv6 over Tor yet, since not enough exits support it yet.
o Major features (geoip database):
- Maxmind began labelling Tor relays as being in country "A1",
which breaks by-country node selection inside Tor. Now we use a
script to replace "A1" ("Anonymous Proxy") entries in our geoip
file with real country codes. This script fixes about 90% of "A1"
entries automatically and uses manual country code assignments to
fix the remaining 10%. See src/config/README.geoip for details.
Fixes bug 6266. Also update to the December 5 2012 Maxmind GeoLite
Country database, as modified above.
o Major bugfixes (client-side DNS):
- Turn off the client-side DNS cache by default. Updating and using
the DNS cache is now configurable on a per-client-port
level. SOCKSPort, DNSPort, etc lines may now contain
{No,}Cache{IPv4,IPv6,}DNS lines to indicate that we shouldn't
cache these types of DNS answers when we receive them from an
exit node in response to an application request on this port, and
{No,}UseCached{IPv4,IPv6,DNS} lines to indicate that if we have
cached DNS answers of these types, we shouldn't use them. It's
potentially risky to use cached DNS answers at the client, since
doing so can indicate to one exit what answers we've gotten
for DNS lookups in the past. With IPv6, this becomes especially
problematic. Using cached DNS answers for requests on the same
circuit would present less linkability risk, since all traffic
on a circuit is already linkable, but it would also provide
little performance benefit: the exit node caches DNS replies
too. Implements a simplified version of Proposal 205. Implements
ticket 7570.
o Major bugfixes (other):
- Alter circuit build timeout measurement to start at the point
where we begin the CREATE/CREATE_FAST step (as opposed to circuit
initialization). This should make our timeout measurements more
uniform. Previously, we were sometimes including ORconn setup time
in our circuit build time measurements. Should resolve bug 3443.
- Fix an assertion that could trigger in hibernate_go_dormant() when
closing an or_connection_t: call channel_mark_for_close() rather
than connection_mark_for_close(). Fixes bug 7267. Bugfix on
0.2.4.4-alpha.

2012-12-24 10:19:18 +01:00
- Add a new torrc option "ServerTransportListenAddr" to let bridge
operators select the address where their pluggable transports will

- Allow an optional $ before the node identity digest in the
controller command GETINFO ns/id/<identity>, for consistency with
md/id/<identity> and desc/id/<identity>. Resolves ticket 7059.
- Log packaged cell fullness as part of the heartbeat message.
Diagnosis to try to determine the extent of bug 7743.
o Minor features (IPv6):
- AutomapHostsOnResolve now supports IPv6 addresses. By default, we
prefer to hand out virtual IPv6 addresses, since there are more of
them and we can't run out. To override this behavior and make IPv4
addresses preferred, set NoPreferIPv6Automap on whatever SOCKSPort
or DNSPort you're using for resolving. Implements ticket 7571.
- AutomapHostsOnResolve responses are now randomized, to avoid
annoying situations where Tor is restarted and applications
connect to the wrong addresses.
add a blurb for 0.2.4.7-alpha too
2012-12-24 10:19:18 +01:00
- Never try more than 1000 times to pick a new virtual address when
AutomapHostsOnResolve is set. That's good enough so long as we
aren't close to handing out our entire virtual address space;
fold in changes files so far
2012-12-24 10:01:44 +01:00
if you're getting there, it's best to switch to IPv6 virtual
addresses anyway.
o Minor bugfixes:
- The ADDRMAP command can no longer generate an ill-formed error
code on a failed MAPADDRESS. It now says "internal" rather than
an English sentence fragment with spaces in the middle. Bugfix on
Tor 0.2.0.19-alpha.
- Fix log messages and comments to avoid saying "GMT" when we mean
"UTC". Fixes bug 6113.
- Compile on win64 using mingw64. Fixes bug 7260; patches from
"yayooo".
- Fix a crash when debugging unit tests on Windows: deallocate a
shared library with FreeLibrary, not CloseHandle. Fixes bug 7306;
bugfix on 0.2.2.17-alpha. Reported by "ultramage".
o Renamed options:
- The DirServer option is now DirAuthority, for consistency with
current naming patterns. You can still use the old DirServer form.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Move the client-side address-map/virtual-address/DNS-cache code
out of connection_edge.c into a new addressmap.c module.
- Remove unused code for parsing v1 directories and "running routers"
documents. Fixes bug 6887.
forward-port the 0.2.3.25 changelog and release notes
2012-11-20 09:46:56 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.3.25 - 2012-11-19
The Tor 0.2.3 release series is dedicated to the memory of Len "rabbi"
Sassaman (1980-2011), a long-time cypherpunk, anonymity researcher,
Mixmaster maintainer, Pynchon Gate co-designer, CodeCon organizer,
programmer, and friend. Unstinting in his dedication to the cause of
freedom, he inspired and helped many of us as we began our work on
anonymity, and inspires us still. Please honor his memory by writing
software to protect people's freedoms, and by helping others to do so.
Tor 0.2.3.25, the first stable release in the 0.2.3 branch, features
significantly reduced directory overhead (via microdescriptors),
enormous crypto performance improvements for fast relays on new
enough hardware, a new v3 TLS handshake protocol that can better
resist fingerprinting, support for protocol obfuscation plugins (aka
pluggable transports), better scalability for hidden services, IPv6
support for bridges, performance improvements like allowing clients
to skip the first round-trip on the circuit ("optimistic data") and
refilling token buckets more often, a new "stream isolation" design
to isolate different applications on different circuits, and many
stability, security, and privacy fixes.
o Major bugfixes:
- Tor tries to wipe potentially sensitive data after using it, so
that if some subsequent security failure exposes Tor's memory,
the damage will be limited. But we had a bug where the compiler
was eliminating these wipe operations when it decided that the
memory was no longer visible to a (correctly running) program,
hence defeating our attempt at defense in depth. We fix that
by using OpenSSL's OPENSSL_cleanse() operation, which a compiler
is unlikely to optimize away. Future versions of Tor may use
a less ridiculously heavy approach for this. Fixes bug 7352.
Reported in an article by Andrey Karpov.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a harmless bug when opting against publishing a relay descriptor
because DisableNetwork is set. Fixes bug 7464; bugfix on
0.2.3.9-alpha.

makes our defense-in-depth memory wiping more reliable, and begins to
count IPv6 addresses in bridge statistics,
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix an assertion failure that could occur when closing a connection
with a spliced rendezvous circuit. Fix for bug 7212; bugfix on
Tor 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Tor tries to wipe potentially sensitive data after using it, so
that if some subsequent security failure exposes Tor's memory,
the damage will be limited. But we had a bug where the compiler
was eliminating these wipe operations when it decided that the
memory was no longer visible to a (correctly running) program,
hence defeating our attempt at defense in depth. We fix that
by using OpenSSL's OPENSSL_cleanse() operation, which a compiler
is unlikely to optimize away. Future versions of Tor may use
a less ridiculously heavy approach for this. Fixes bug 7352.
Reported in an article by Andrey Karpov.
o Minor features:
- Add GeoIP database for IPv6 addresses. The new config option
is GeoIPv6File.
- Bridge statistics now count bridge clients connecting over IPv6:
bridge statistics files now list "bridge-ip-versions" and
extra-info documents list "geoip6-db-digest". The control protocol
"CLIENTS_SEEN" and "ip-to-country" queries now support IPv6. Initial
implementation by "shkoo", addressing ticket 5055.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Warn when we are binding low ports when hibernation is enabled;
previously we had warned when we were _advertising_ low ports with
hibernation enabled. Fixes bug 7285; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Fix a harmless bug when opting against publishing a relay descriptor
because DisableNetwork is set. Fixes bug 7464; bugfix on
0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Add warning message when a managed proxy dies during configuration.

- Fix a linking error when building tor-fw-helper without miniupnp.
Fixes bug 7235; bugfix on 0.2.4.2-alpha. Fix by Anthony G. Basile.
- Check for closing an or_connection_t without going through correct
channel functions; emit a warning and then call
connection_or_close_for_error() so we don't assert as in bugs 7212
and 7267.
- Compile correctly on compilers without C99 designated initializer
support. Fixes bug 7286; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Avoid a possible assert that can occur when channel_send_destroy() is
called on a channel in CHANNEL_STATE_CLOSING, CHANNEL_STATE_CLOSED,
or CHANNEL_STATE_ERROR when the Tor process is resumed after being
blocked for a long interval. Fixes bug 7350; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak on failing cases of channel_tls_process_certs_cell.
Fixes bug 7422; bugfix on 0.2.4.4-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Start using OpenBSD's implementation of queue.h, so that we don't
need to hand-roll our own pointer and list structures whenever we
need them. (We can't rely on a sys/queue.h, since some operating
systems don't have them, and the ones that do have them don't all
present the same extensions.)

Changes in version 0.2.3.24-rc - 2012-10-25
Tor 0.2.3.24-rc fixes two important security vulnerabilities that
could lead to remotely triggerable relay crashes, and fixes
a major bug that was preventing clients from choosing suitable exit
nodes.
o Major bugfixes (security):
- Fix a group of remotely triggerable assertion failures related to
incorrect link protocol negotiation. Found, diagnosed, and fixed
by "some guy from France". Fix for CVE-2012-2250; bugfix on
0.2.3.6-alpha.
- Fix a denial of service attack by which any directory authority
could crash all the others, or by which a single v2 directory
authority could crash everybody downloading v2 directory
information. Fixes bug 7191; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.

2012-10-20 21:37:57 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.4.4-alpha - 2012-10-20
Tor 0.2.4.4-alpha adds a new v3 directory authority, fixes a privacy
vulnerability introduced by a change in OpenSSL, fixes a remotely
triggerable assert, and adds new channel_t and circuitmux_t abstractions
that will make it easier to test new connection transport and cell
scheduling algorithms.
o New directory authorities (also in 0.2.3.23-rc):
- Add Faravahar (run by Sina Rabbani) as the ninth v3 directory
authority. Closes ticket 5749.
o Major bugfixes (security/privacy, also in 0.2.3.23-rc):
- Disable TLS session tickets. OpenSSL's implementation was giving
our TLS session keys the lifetime of our TLS context objects, when
perfect forward secrecy would want us to discard anything that
could decrypt a link connection as soon as the link connection
was closed. Fixes bug 7139; bugfix on all versions of Tor linked
against OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later. Found by Florent Daignière.
- Discard extraneous renegotiation attempts once the V3 link
protocol has been initiated. Failure to do so left us open to
a remotely triggerable assertion failure. Fixes CVE-2012-2249;
bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Reported by "some guy from France".
o Internal abstraction features:
- Introduce new channel_t abstraction between circuits and
or_connection_t to allow for implementing alternate OR-to-OR
transports. A channel_t is an abstract object which can either be a
cell-bearing channel, which is responsible for authenticating and
handshaking with the remote OR and transmitting cells to and from
it, or a listening channel, which spawns new cell-bearing channels
at the request of remote ORs. Implements part of ticket 6465.
- Also new is the channel_tls_t subclass of channel_t, adapting it
to the existing or_connection_t code. The V2/V3 protocol handshaking
code which formerly resided in command.c has been moved below the
channel_t abstraction layer and may be found in channeltls.c now.
Implements the rest of ticket 6465.
- Introduce new circuitmux_t storing the queue of circuits for
a channel; this encapsulates and abstracts the queue logic and
circuit selection policy, and allows the latter to be overridden
easily by switching out a policy object. The existing EWMA behavior
is now implemented as a circuitmux_policy_t. Resolves ticket 6816.
o Required libraries:
- Tor now requires OpenSSL 0.9.8 or later. OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later is
strongly recommended.
o Minor features:
- Warn users who run hidden services on a Tor client with
UseEntryGuards disabled that their hidden services will be
vulnerable to http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#hs-attack06 (the
attack which motivated Tor to support entry guards in the first
place). Resolves ticket 6889.
- Tor now builds correctly on Bitrig, an OpenBSD fork. Patch from
dhill. Resolves ticket 6982.
Roll enh6876 into Changelog for 0.2.4.4 alpha, which had the change but not the entry.

2012-10-20 21:37:57 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes (also in 0.2.3.23-rc):
- Don't serve or accept v2 hidden service descriptors over a
relay's DirPort. It's never correct to do so, and disabling it
might make it more annoying to exploit any bugs that turn up in the
descriptor-parsing code. Fixes bug 7149.
- Fix two cases in src/or/transports.c where we were calling
fmt_addr() twice in a parameter list. Bug found by David
Fifield. Fixes bug 7014; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Fix memory leaks whenever we logged any message about the "path
bias" detection. Fixes bug 7022; bugfix on 0.2.3.21-rc.
- When relays refuse a "create" cell because their queue of pending
create cells is too big (typically because their cpu can't keep up
with the arrival rate), send back reason "resource limit" rather
than reason "internal", so network measurement scripts can get a
more accurate picture. Fixes bug 7037; bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Command-line option "--version" implies "--quiet". Fixes bug 6997.
- Free some more still-in-use memory at exit, to make hunting for
memory leaks easier. Resolves bug 7029.
- When a Tor client gets a "truncated" relay cell, the first byte of
its payload specifies why the circuit was truncated. We were
ignoring this 'reason' byte when tearing down the circuit, resulting
in the controller not being told why the circuit closed. Now we
pass the reason from the truncated cell to the controller. Bugfix
on 0.1.2.3-alpha; fixes bug 7039.
- Downgrade "Failed to hand off onionskin" messages to "debug"
severity, since they're typically redundant with the "Your computer
is too slow" messages. Fixes bug 7038; bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha.
- Make clients running with IPv6 bridges connect over IPv6 again,
even without setting new config options ClientUseIPv6 and
ClientPreferIPv6ORPort. Fixes bug 6757; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Use square brackets around IPv6 addresses in numerous places
that needed them, including log messages, HTTPS CONNECT proxy
requests, TransportProxy statefile entries, and pluggable transport
extra-info lines. Fixes bug 7011; patch by David Fifield.
o Code refactoring and cleanup:
- Source files taken from other packages now reside in src/ext;
previously they were scattered around the rest of Tor.
- Avoid use of reserved identifiers in our C code. The C standard
doesn't like us declaring anything that starts with an
underscore, so let's knock it off before we get in trouble. Fix
for bug 1031; bugfix on the first Tor commit.

in connection_or_flush_from_first_active_circuit(). Fixes bug 6341;
bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. Bug report and fix received pseudonymously.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x):
- Fix two cases in src/or/transports.c where we were calling
fmt_addr() twice in a parameter list. Bug found by David
Fifield. Fixes bug 7014; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Convert an assert in the pathbias code to a log message. The assert
appears to only be triggerable by Tor2Web mode. Fixes bug 6866;
bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
- Fix memory leaks whenever we logged any message about the "path
bias" detection. Fixes bug 7022; bugfix on 0.2.3.21-rc.

- Correct file sizes when reading binary files on Cygwin, to avoid
a bug where Tor would fail to read its state file. Fixes bug 6844;

o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a possible crash bug when checking for deactivated circuits
in connection_or_flush_from_first_active_circuit(). Fixes bug 6341;
bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha. Bug report and fix received pseudonymously.
- Allow routers to detect that their own DirPorts are running. When
we removed support for versions_supports_begindir, we also
accidentally removed the mechanism we used to self-test our
DirPort. Diagnosed with help from kargig. Fixes bugs 6814 and 6815;
bugfix on 0.2.4.2-alpha.
o Security features:
- Switch to a completely time-invariant approach for picking nodes
weighted by bandwidth. Our old approach would run through the
part of the loop after it had made its choice slightly slower
than it ran through the part of the loop before it had made its
choice. Addresses ticket 6538.

Tor 0.2.4.2-alpha enables port forwarding for pluggable transports,
raises the default rate limiting even more, and makes the bootstrapping
log messages less noisy.

2012-09-10 23:36:36 +02:00
o Major features:
- Automatically forward the TCP ports of pluggable transport
proxies using tor-fw-helper if PortForwarding is enabled. Implements
ticket 4567.
o Major bugfixes:
- Raise the default BandwidthRate/BandwidthBurst values from 5MB/10MB
to 1GB/1GB. The previous defaults were intended to be "basically
infinite", but it turns out they're now limiting our 100mbit+
relays and bridges. Fixes bug 6605; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha (the
last time we raised it).
o Minor features:
- Detect when we're running with a version of OpenSSL other than the
one we compiled with. This has occasionally given people hard-to-
track-down errors.
- Log fewer lines at level "notice" about our OpenSSL and Libevent
versions and capabilities when everything is going right. Resolves
part of ticket 6736.
- Directory authorities no long accept descriptors for any version of
Tor before 0.2.2.35, or for any 0.2.3 release before 0.2.3.10-alpha.
These versions are insecure, unsupported, or both. Implements
ticket 6789.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Rename the (internal-use-only) UsingTestingNetworkDefaults option
to start with a triple-underscore so the controller won't touch it.

src/or/tor_main.c that could break out-of-tree builds under some
circumstances. Fixes bug 6778; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Avoid a warning when building common_sha1.i out of tree. Fixes bug
6778; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
- Fix a harmless (in this case) build warning for implicitly
converting a strlen() to an int. Bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
o Removed features:
- Now that all versions before 0.2.2.x are disallowed, we no longer
need to work around their missing features. Thus we can remove a
bunch of compatibility code.
o Code refactoring:
- Tweak tor-fw-helper to accept an arbitrary amount of arbitrary
TCP ports to forward. In the past it only accepted two ports:
the ORPort and the DirPort.

This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to
be bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should
stay with 0.2.3.x for now.
o Major features (bridges):
- Bridges now report the pluggable transports they support to the
bridge authority, so it can pass the supported transports on to
bridgedb and/or eventually do reachability testing. Implements
ticket 3589.
o Major features (IPv6):
- Bridge authorities now accept IPv6 bridge addresses and include
them in network status documents. Implements ticket 5534.
- Clients who set "ClientUseIPv6 1" may connect to entry nodes over
IPv6. Set "ClientPreferIPv6ORPort 1" to make this even more likely
to happen. Implements ticket 5535.
- All kind of relays, not just bridges, can now advertise an IPv6
OR port. Implements ticket 6362.
- Directory authorities vote on IPv6 OR ports using the new consensus
method 14. Implements ticket 6363.
o Major features (build):
- Switch to a nonrecursive Makefile structure. Now instead of each
Makefile.am invoking other Makefile.am's, there is a master
Makefile.am that includes the others. This change makes our build
process slightly more maintainable, and improves parallelism for
building with make -j. Original patch by Stewart Smith; various
fixes by Jim Meyering.
- Where available, we now use automake's "silent" make rules by
default, so that warnings are easier to spot. You can get the old
behavior with "make V=1". Patch by Stewart Smith for ticket 6522.
o Minor features (code security and spec conformance):
- Clear keys and key-derived material left on the stack in
rendservice.c and rendclient.c. Check return value of

2012-09-05 10:46:44 +02:00
These fixes should make us more forward-secure against cold-boot
attacks and the like. Fixes bug 2385.
- Reject EXTEND cells sent to nonexistent streams. According to the
spec, an EXTEND cell sent to _any_ nonzero stream ID is invalid, but
we were only checking for stream IDs that were currently in use.
Found while hunting for more instances of bug 6271. Bugfix on
0.0.2pre8, which introduced incremental circuit construction.
o Minor features (streamlining);
- No longer include the "opt" prefix when generating routerinfos
or v2 directories: it has been needless since Tor 0.1.2. Closes
ticket 5124.
- Remove some now-needless code that tried to aggressively flush
OR connections as data was added to them. Since 0.2.0.1-alpha, our
cell queue logic has saved us from the failure mode that this code
was supposed to prevent. Removing this code will limit the number
of baroque control flow paths through Tor's network logic. Reported
pseudonymously on IRC. Fixes bug 6468; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add a "GETINFO signal/names" control port command. Implements
ticket 3842.
- Provide default values for all options via "GETINFO config/defaults".
Implements ticket 4971.
o Minor features (IPv6):

2012-09-05 10:46:44 +02:00
- A relay with an IPv6 OR port now sends that address in NETINFO
cells (in addition to its other address). Implements ticket 6364.
o Minor features (log messages):
- Omit the first heartbeat log message, because it never has anything
useful to say, and it clutters up the bootstrapping messages.
Resolves ticket 6758.
- Don't log about reloading the microdescriptor cache at startup. Our
bootstrap warnings are supposed to tell the user when there's a
problem, and our bootstrap notices say when there isn't. Resolves
ticket 6759; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Don't log "I learned some more directory information" when we're
reading cached directory information. Reserve it for when new
directory information arrives in response to a fetch. Resolves
ticket 6760.
- Prevent rounding error in path bias counts when scaling
them down, and use the correct scale factor default. Also demote
some path bias related log messages down a level and make others
less scary sounding. Fixes bug 6647. Bugfix against 0.2.3.17-beta.
- We no longer warn so much when generating manpages from their
asciidoc source.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Enhance our internal sscanf replacement so that we can eliminate
the last remaining uses of the system sscanf. (Though those uses
of sscanf were safe, sscanf itself is generally error prone, so
we want to eliminate when we can.) Fixes ticket 4195 and Coverity
CID 448.
- Move ipv6_preferred from routerinfo_t to node_t. Addresses bug 4620.
- Move last_reachable and testing_since from routerinfo_t to node_t.
Implements ticket 5529.
- Add replaycache_t structure, functions and unit tests, then refactor
rend_service_introduce() to be more clear to read, improve, debug,
and test. Resolves bug 6177.
- Finally remove support for malloc_good_size and malloc_usable_size.
We had hoped that these functions would let us eke a little more
memory out of our malloc implementation. Unfortunately, the only
implementations that provided these functions are also ones that
are already efficient about not overallocation: they never got us
more than 7 or so bytes per allocation. Removing them saves us a
little code complexity and a nontrivial amount of build complexity.
o New requirements:
- Tor maintainers now require Automake version 1.9 or later to build
Tor from the Git repository. (Automake is not required when building
from a source distribution.)
forward-port the 0.2.3.21-rc changelog
2012-09-05 02:59:56 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.3.21-rc - 2012-09-05
Tor 0.2.3.21-rc is the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.3.x
series. It fixes a trio of potential security bugs, fixes a bug where
we were leaving some of the fast relays out of the microdescriptor
consensus, resumes interpreting "ORPort 0" and "DirPort 0" correctly,
and cleans up other smaller issues.
o Major bugfixes (security):
- Tear down the circuit if we get an unexpected SENDME cell. Clients
could use this trick to make their circuits receive cells faster
than our flow control would have allowed, or to gum up the network,
or possibly to do targeted memory denial-of-service attacks on
entry nodes. Fixes bug 6252. Bugfix on the 54th commit on Tor --
from July 2002, before the release of Tor 0.0.0. We had committed
this patch previously, but we had to revert it because of bug 6271.
Now that 6271 is fixed, this patch appears to work.
- Reject any attempt to extend to an internal address. Without
this fix, a router could be used to probe addresses on an internal
network to see whether they were accepting connections. Fixes bug
6710; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1.
- Do not crash when comparing an address with port value 0 to an
address policy. This bug could have been used to cause a remote
assertion failure by or against directory authorities, or to
allow some applications to crash clients. Fixes bug 6690; bugfix
on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
o Major bugfixes:
- Remove the upper bound on microdescriptor length. We were hitting
the limit for routers with complex exit policies or family
declarations, causing clients to not use them. Fixes the first
piece of bug 6404; fix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Detect "ORPort 0" as meaning, uniformly, that we're not running
as a relay. Previously, some of our code would treat the presence
of any ORPort line as meaning that we should act like a relay,
even though our new listener code would correctly not open any
ORPorts for ORPort 0. Similar bugs in other Port options are also
fixed. Fixes the first half of bug 6507; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid a pair of double-free and use-after-mark bugs that can
occur with certain timings in canceled and re-received DNS
requests. Fixes bug 6472; bugfix on 0.0.7rc1.
- Fix build and 64-bit compile warnings from --enable-openbsd-malloc.
Fixes bug 6379. Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Allow one-hop directory fetching circuits the full "circuit build
timeout" period, rather than just half of it, before failing them
and marking the relay down. This fix should help reduce cases where
clients declare relays (or worse, bridges) unreachable because
the TLS handshake takes a few seconds to complete. Fixes bug 6743;
bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha, where we changed the timeout from a static
30 seconds.
- Authorities no longer include any router in their microdescriptor
consensuses for which they couldn't generate or agree on a
microdescriptor. Fixes the second piece of bug 6404; fix on
0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Detect and reject attempts to specify both "FooPort" and
"FooPort 0" in the same configuration domain. (It's still okay
to have a FooPort in your configuration file, and use "FooPort 0"
on the command line to disable it.) Fixes the second half of bug
6507; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
- Make wildcarded addresses (that is, ones beginning with "*.") work
when provided via the controller's MapAddress command. Previously,
they were accepted, but we never actually noticed that they were
wildcards. Fixes bug 6244; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
and fold it into master too
2012-09-05 23:23:08 +02:00
- Avoid crashing on a malformed state file where EntryGuardPathBias
precedes EntryGuard. Fix for bug 6774; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
forward-port the 0.2.3.21-rc changelog
2012-09-05 02:59:56 +02:00
- Add a (probably redundant) memory clear between iterations of
the router status voting loop, to prevent future coding errors
where data might leak between iterations of the loop. Resolves
ticket 6514.
o Minor bugfixes (log messages):
- Downgrade "set buildtimeout to low value" messages to "info"
severity; they were never an actual problem, there was never
anything reasonable to do about them, and they tended to spam logs
from time to time. Fixes bug 6251; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
- Downgrade path-bias warning messages to "info". We'll try to get
them working better in 0.2.4. Add internal circuit construction
state to protect against the noisy warn message "Unexpectedly high
circuit_successes". Also add some additional rate-limited notice
messages to help determine the root cause of the warn. Fixes bug
6475. Bugfix against 0.2.3.17-beta.
- Move log message when unable to find a microdesc in a routerstatus
entry to parse time. Previously we'd spam this warning every time
we tried to figure out which microdescriptors to download. Fixes
the third piece of bug 6404; fix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
o Minor features:
- Consider new, removed or changed IPv6 OR ports a non-cosmetic
change when the authority is deciding whether to accept a newly
uploaded descriptor. Implements ticket 6423.
- Add missing documentation for consensus and microdesc files.
Resolves ticket 6732.

Changes in version 0.2.2.38 - 2012-08-12
and fix them here too
2012-08-27 20:28:00 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.38 fixes a remotely triggerable crash bug, and fixes a timing
attack that could in theory leak path information.
forward-port the 0.2.2.38 changelog
2012-08-13 06:35:37 +02:00
o Security fixes:
- Avoid an uninitialized memory read when reading a vote or consensus
document that has an unrecognized flavor name. This read could
lead to a remote crash bug. Fixes bug 6530; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Try to leak less information about what relays a client is
choosing to a side-channel attacker. Previously, a Tor client would
stop iterating through the list of available relays as soon as it
had chosen one, thus finishing a little earlier when it picked
a router earlier in the list. If an attacker can recover this
timing information (nontrivial but not proven to be impossible),
they could learn some coarse-grained information about which relays
a client was picking (middle nodes in particular are likelier to
be affected than exits). The timing attack might be mitigated by
other factors (see bug 6537 for some discussion), but it's best
not to take chances. Fixes bug 6537; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
forward-port the 0.2.3.20-rc changelog
2012-08-07 23:27:03 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.3.20-rc - 2012-08-05
Tor 0.2.3.20-rc is the third release candidate for the Tor 0.2.3.x
series. It fixes a pair of code security bugs and a potential anonymity
issue, updates our RPM spec files, and cleans up other smaller issues.
o Security fixes:
- Avoid read-from-freed-memory and double-free bugs that could occur
when a DNS request fails while launching it. Fixes bug 6480;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Avoid an uninitialized memory read when reading a vote or consensus
document that has an unrecognized flavor name. This read could
lead to a remote crash bug. Fixes bug 6530; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Try to leak less information about what relays a client is
choosing to a side-channel attacker. Previously, a Tor client would
stop iterating through the list of available relays as soon as it

be affected than exits). The timing attack might be mitigated by
other factors (see bug 6537 for some discussion), but it's best
not to take chances. Fixes bug 6537; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
o Minor features:
- Try to make the warning when giving an obsolete SOCKSListenAddress
a little more useful.
- Terminate active server managed proxies if Tor stops being a
relay. Addresses parts of bug 6274; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- Provide a better error message about possible OSX Asciidoc failure
reasons. Fixes bug 6436.
- Warn when Tor is configured to use accounting in a way that can
link a hidden service to some other hidden service or public
address. Resolves ticket 6490.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Check return value of fputs() when writing authority certificate
file. Fixes Coverity issue 709056; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Ignore ServerTransportPlugin lines when Tor is not configured as
a relay. Fixes bug 6274; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- When disabling guards for having too high a proportion of failed
circuits, make sure to look at each guard. Fixes bug 6397; bugfix
on 0.2.3.17-beta.
o Packaging (RPM):
- Update our default RPM spec files to work with mock and rpmbuild
on RHEL/Fedora. They have an updated set of dependencies and
conflicts, a fix for an ancient typo when creating the "_tor"
user, and better instructions. Thanks to Ondrej Mikle for the
patch series. Fixes bug 6043.
o Testing:
- Make it possible to set the TestingTorNetwork configuration
option using AlternateDirAuthority and AlternateBridgeAuthority
as an alternative to setting DirServer. Addresses ticket 6377.
o Documentation:
- Clarify the documentation for the Alternate*Authority options.
Fixes bug 6387.
- Fix some typos in the manpages. Patch from A. Costa. Fixes bug 6500.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Do not use SMARTLIST_FOREACH for any loop whose body exceeds
10 lines. Also, don't nest them. Doing so in the past has
led to hard-to-debug code. The new style is to use the
SMARTLIST_FOREACH_{BEGIN,END} pair. Addresses issue 6400.
forward-port the 0.2.3.19-rc changelog
2012-07-07 10:59:39 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.3.19-rc - 2012-07-06
Tor 0.2.3.19-rc is the second release candidate for the Tor 0.2.3.x
series. It fixes the compile on Windows, reverts to a GeoIP database
that isn't as broken, and fixes a flow control bug that has been around
since the beginning of Tor.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bug handling SENDME cells on nonexistent streams that could
result in bizarre window values. Report and patch contributed
pseudonymously. Fixes part of bug 6271. This bug was introduced
before the first Tor release, in svn commit r152.
- Revert to the May 1 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database. In the
June 2012 database, Maxmind marked many Tor relays as country "A1",
which will cause risky behavior for clients that set EntryNodes
or ExitNodes. Addresses bug 6334; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
- Instead of ENOBUFS on Windows, say WSAENOBUFS. Fixes compilation
on Windows. Fixes bug 6296; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix wrong TCP port range in parse_port_range(). Fixes bug 6218;
bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha.

2012-06-15 10:16:40 +02:00
Tor 0.2.3.17-beta enables compiler and linker hardening by default,
gets our TLS handshake back on track for being able to blend in with
Firefox, fixes a big bug in 0.2.3.16-alpha that broke Tor's interaction
with Vidalia, and otherwise continues to get us closer to a release
candidate.

2012-06-14 11:47:55 +02:00
o Major features:
- Enable gcc and ld hardening by default. Resolves ticket 5210.
- Update TLS cipher list to match Firefox 8 and later. Resolves
ticket 4744.
- Implement the client side of proposal 198: remove support for
clients falsely claiming to support standard ciphersuites that
they can actually provide. As of modern OpenSSL versions, it's not
necessary to fake any standard ciphersuite, and doing so prevents
us from using better ciphersuites in the future, since servers
can't know whether an advertised ciphersuite is really supported or
not. Some hosts -- notably, ones with very old versions of OpenSSL
or where OpenSSL has been built with ECC disabled -- will stand
out because of this change; TBB users should not be affected.

o Major bugfixes:
- Change the default value for DynamicDHGroups (introduced in
0.2.3.9-alpha) to 0. This feature can make Tor relays less
identifiable by their use of the mod_ssl DH group, but at
the cost of some usability (#4721) and bridge tracing (#6087)
regressions. Resolves ticket 5598.
- Send a CRLF at the end of each STATUS_* control protocol event. This
bug tickled a bug in Vidalia which would make it freeze. Fixes
bug 6094; bugfix on 0.2.3.16-alpha.

address via SOCKS or DNSPort: other sources are free to provide
.exit addresses after the resolution occurs. Fixes bug 3940;

more information to it, so that we can track it down in case it
returns again. Mitigates bug 5235.
- Check CircuitBuildTimeout and LearnCircuitBuildTimeout in

2012-06-12 13:50:34 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.37 - 2012-06-06
Tor 0.2.2.37 introduces a workaround for a critical renegotiation
bug in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (where 20% of the Tor network can't talk to itself
currently).
o Major bugfixes:
- Work around a bug in OpenSSL that broke renegotiation with TLS
1.1 and TLS 1.2. Without this workaround, all attempts to speak
the v2 Tor connection protocol when both sides were using OpenSSL
1.0.1 would fail. Resolves ticket 6033.
- When waiting for a client to renegotiate, don't allow it to add
any bytes to the input buffer. This fixes a potential DoS issue.
Fixes bugs 5934 and 6007; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Fix an edge case where if we fetch or publish a hidden service
descriptor, we might build a 4-hop circuit and then use that circuit
for exiting afterwards -- even if the new last hop doesn't obey our
ExitNodes config option. Fixes bug 5283; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a build warning with Clang 3.1 related to our use of vasprintf.
Fixes bug 5969. Bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Tell GCC and Clang to check for any errors in format strings passed
to the tor_v*(print|scan)f functions.

o Major bugfixes (general):
- Work around a bug in OpenSSL that broke renegotiation with TLS
1.1 and TLS 1.2. Without this workaround, all attempts to speak
the v2 Tor connection protocol when both sides were using OpenSSL
1.0.1 would fail. Resolves ticket 6033.
- When waiting for a client to renegotiate, don't allow it to add
any bytes to the input buffer. This fixes a potential DoS issue.
Fixes bugs 5934 and 6007; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Pass correct OR address to managed proxies (like obfsproxy),
even when ORListenAddress is used. Fixes bug 4865; bugfix on
0.2.3.9-alpha.
- The advertised platform of a router now includes only its operating
system's name (e.g., "Linux", "Darwin", "Windows 7"), and not its
service pack level (for Windows) or its CPU architecture (for Unix).
We also no longer include the "git-XYZ" tag in the version. Resolves
part of bug 2988.
o Major bugfixes (clients):
- If we are unable to find any exit that supports our predicted ports,
stop calling them predicted, so that we don't loop and build
hopeless circuits indefinitely. Fixes bug 3296; bugfix on 0.0.9pre6,
which introduced predicted ports.
- Fix an edge case where if we fetch or publish a hidden service
descriptor, we might build a 4-hop circuit and then use that circuit
for exiting afterwards -- even if the new last hop doesn't obey our
ExitNodes config option. Fixes bug 5283; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Check at each new consensus whether our entry guards were picked
long enough ago that we should rotate them. Previously, we only
did this check at startup, which could lead to us holding a guard
indefinitely. Fixes bug 5380; bugfix on 0.2.1.14-rc.
- When fetching a bridge descriptor from a bridge authority,
always do so anonymously, whether we have been able to open
retroactively fix version typo in changelog
2012-09-01 07:03:51 +02:00
circuits or not. Partial fix for bug 1938; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.
start folding in the changes files
2012-06-05 18:05:31 +02:00
This behavior makes it *safer* to use UpdateBridgesFromAuthority,
but we'll need to wait for bug 6010 before it's actually usable.
o Major bugfixes (directory authorities):
- When computing weight parameters, behave more robustly in the
presence of a bad bwweightscale value. Previously, the authorities
would crash if they agreed on a sufficiently broken weight_scale
value: now, they use a reasonable default and carry on. Partial
fix for 5786; bugfix on 0.2.2.17-alpha.
- Check more thoroughly to prevent a rogue authority from
double-voting on any consensus directory parameter. Previously,
authorities would crash in this case if the total number of
votes for any parameter exceeded the number of active voters,
but would let it pass otherwise. Partial fix for bug 5786; bugfix
on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Rate-limit log messages when asked to connect anonymously to
a private address. When these hit, they tended to hit fast and
often. Also, don't bother trying to connect to addresses that we
are sure will resolve to 127.0.0.1: getting 127.0.0.1 in a directory
reply makes us think we have been lied to, even when the address the
client tried to connect to was "localhost." Resolves ticket 2822.
- Allow packagers to insert an extra string in server descriptor
platform lines by setting the preprocessor variable TOR_BUILD_TAG.
Resolves the rest of ticket 2988.
- Raise the threshold of server descriptors needed (75%) and exit
server descriptors needed (50%) before we will declare ourselves
bootstrapped. This will make clients start building circuits a
little later, but makes the initially constructed circuits less
skewed and less in conflict with further directory fetches. Fixes
ticket 3196.
- Close any connection that sends unrecognized junk before the
handshake. Solves an issue noted in bug 4369.
- Improve log messages about managed transports. Resolves ticket 5070.
- Tag a bridge's descriptor as "never to be sent unencrypted".
This shouldn't matter, since bridges don't open non-anonymous
connections to the bridge authority and don't allow unencrypted
directory connections from clients, but we might as well make
sure. Closes bug 5139.
- Expose our view of whether we have gone dormant to the controller,
via a new "GETINFO dormant" value. Torbutton and other controllers
can use this to avoid doing periodic requests through Tor while
it's dormant (bug 4718). Fixes bug 5954.
- Tell GCC and Clang to check for any errors in format strings passed
to the tor_v*(print|scan)f functions.
- Update to the May 1 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (already included in 0.2.2.36):
- Reject out-of-range times like 23:59:61 in parse_rfc1123_time().
Fixes bug 5346; bugfix on 0.0.8pre3.
- Correct parsing of certain date types in parse_http_time().
Without this patch, If-Modified-Since would behave
incorrectly. Fixes bug 5346; bugfix on 0.2.0.2-alpha. Patch from
Esteban Manchado Velázques.
- Make our number-parsing functions always treat too-large values
as an error, even when those values exceed the width of the
underlying type. Previously, if the caller provided these
functions with minima or maxima set to the extreme values of the
underlying integer type, these functions would return those
values on overflow rather than treating overflow as an error.
Fixes part of bug 5786; bugfix on 0.0.9.
- If we hit the error case where routerlist_insert() replaces an
existing (old) server descriptor, make sure to remove that
server descriptor from the old_routers list. Fix related to bug
1776. Bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
- Clarify the behavior of MaxCircuitDirtiness with hidden service
circuits. Fixes issue 5259.
o Minor bugfixes (coding cleanup, on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Prevent a null-pointer dereference when receiving a data cell
for a nonexistent stream when the circuit in question has an
empty deliver window. We don't believe this is triggerable,
since we don't currently allow deliver windows to become empty,
but the logic is tricky enough that it's better to make the code
robust. Fixes bug 5541; bugfix on 0.0.2pre14.
- Fix a memory leak when trying to launch a DNS request when the
network is disabled or the nameservers are unconfigurable. Fixes
bug 5916; bugfix on Tor 0.1.2.1-alpha (for the unconfigurable
nameserver case) and on 0.2.3.9-alpha (for the DisableNetwork case).

- Avoid O(n^2) performance characteristics when parsing a large
extrainfo cache. Fixes bug 5828; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Format more doubles with %f, not %lf. Patch from grarpamp to make
Tor build correctly on older BSDs again. Fixes bug 3894; bugfix on
Tor 0.2.0.8-alpha.
- Make our replacement implementation of strtok_r() compatible with
the standard behavior of strtok_r(). Patch by nils. Fixes bug 5091;
bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.

- Defensively refactor rend_mid_rendezvous() so that protocol
violations and length checks happen in the beginning. Fixes
bug 5645.
- Set _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0501 consistently throughout the code, so
that IPv6 stuff will compile on MSVC, and compilation issues
will be easier to track down. Fixes bug 5861.
o Minor bugfixes (correctness, on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Exit nodes now correctly report EADDRINUSE and EADDRNOTAVAIL as
resource exhaustion, so that clients can adjust their load to
try other exits. Fixes bug 4710; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc, which
started using END_STREAM_REASON_RESOURCELIMIT.
- Don't check for whether the address we're using for outbound
connections has changed until after the outbound connection has
completed. On Windows, getsockname() doesn't succeed until the
connection is finished. Fixes bug 5374; bugfix on 0.1.1.14-alpha.
- If the configuration tries to set MyFamily on a bridge, refuse to
do so, and warn about the security implications. Fixes bug 4657;
bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- If the client fails to set a reasonable set of ciphersuites
during its v2 handshake renegotiation, allow the renegotiation to
continue nevertheless (i.e. send all the required certificates).
Fixes bug 4591; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- When we receive a SIGHUP and the controller __ReloadTorrcOnSIGHUP
option is set to 0 (which Vidalia version 0.2.16 now does when
a SAVECONF attempt fails), perform other actions that SIGHUP
usually causes (like reopening the logs). Fixes bug 5095; bugfix
on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
- If we fail to write a microdescriptor to the disk cache, do not
continue replacing the old microdescriptor file. Fixes bug 2954;
bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Exit nodes don't need to fetch certificates for authorities that
they don't recognize; only directory authorities, bridges,
and caches need to do that. Fixes part of bug 2297; bugfix on
0.2.2.11-alpha.
- Correctly handle checking the permissions on the parent
directory of a control socket in the root directory. Bug found

- When told to add a bridge with the same digest as a preexisting
bridge but a different addr:port, change the addr:port as
requested. Previously we would not notice the change. Fixes half
of bug 5603; fix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- End AUTHCHALLENGE error messages (in the control protocol) with
a CRLF. Fixes bug 5760; bugfix on 0.2.2.36 and 0.2.3.13-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x):
- Turn an assertion (that the number of handshakes received as a
server is not < 1) into a warning. Fixes bug 4873; bugfix on
0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Format IPv4 addresses correctly in ADDRMAP events. (Previously,
we had reversed them when the answer was cached.) Fixes bug
5723; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Work correctly on Linux systems with accept4 support advertised in
their headers, but without accept4 support in the kernel. Fix
by murb. Fixes bug 5762; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- When told to add a bridge with the same addr:port as a preexisting
bridge but a different transport, change the transport as
requested. Previously we would not notice the change. Fixes half
of bug 5603; fix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Avoid a "double-reply" warning when replying to a SOCKS request
with a parse error. Patch from Fabian Keil. Fixes bug 4108;
bugfix on 0.2.3.4-alpha.
- Fix a bug where a bridge authority crashes if it has seen no
directory requests when it's time to write statistics to disk.
Fixes bug 5891; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha. Also fixes bug 5508 in
a better way.

fact that {OR/Dir}ListenAddress is now unnecessary (and
therefore deprecated). Resolves ticket 5597.
o Removed files:

it had become badly desynchronized from torrc.sample. Resolves

forward-port the 0.2.2.36 changelog
2012-05-24 10:12:29 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.36 - 2012-05-24
Tor 0.2.2.36 updates the addresses for two of the eight directory
authorities, fixes some potential anonymity and security issues,
and fixes several crash bugs.
Tor 0.2.1.x has reached its end-of-life. Those Tor versions have many
known flaws, and nobody should be using them. You should upgrade. If
you're using a Linux or BSD and its packages are obsolete, stop using
those packages and upgrade anyway.
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address for maatuska (v3 directory authority).
- Change IP address for ides (v3 directory authority), and rename
it to turtles.
o Security fixes:
- When building or running with any version of OpenSSL earlier
than 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f, disable SSLv3 support. These OpenSSL
versions have a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher
padding includes uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive
information to any peer with whom they make a SSLv3 connection. Tor
does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile client or server
could force an SSLv3 connection in order to gain information that
they shouldn't have been able to get. The best solution here is to
upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or later). But when building
or running with a non-upgraded OpenSSL, we disable SSLv3 entirely
to make sure that the bug can't happen.
- Never use a bridge or a controller-supplied node as an exit, even
if its exit policy allows it. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixes bug
5342. Bugfix on 0.1.1.15-rc (for controller-purpose descriptors)
and 0.2.0.3-alpha (for bridge-purpose descriptors).
- Only build circuits if we have a sufficient threshold of the total
descriptors that are marked in the consensus with the "Exit"
flag. This mitigates an attack proposed by wanoskarnet, in which
all of a client's bridges collude to restrict the exit nodes that
the client knows about. Fixes bug 5343.
- Provide controllers with a safer way to implement the cookie
authentication mechanism. With the old method, if another locally
running program could convince a controller that it was the Tor
use my time machine to fix a few more typos
2012-06-06 06:30:25 +02:00
process, then that program could trick the controller into telling
forward-port the 0.2.2.36 changelog
2012-05-24 10:12:29 +02:00
it the contents of an arbitrary 32-byte file. The new "SAFECOOKIE"
authentication method uses a challenge-response approach to prevent
this attack. Fixes bug 5185; implements proposal 193.
o Major bugfixes:
- Avoid logging uninitialized data when unable to decode a hidden
service descriptor cookie. Fixes bug 5647; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
- Avoid a client-side assertion failure when receiving an INTRODUCE2
cell on a general purpose circuit. Fixes bug 5644; bugfix on
0.2.1.6-alpha.
- Fix builds when the path to sed, openssl, or sha1sum contains
spaces, which is pretty common on Windows. Fixes bug 5065; bugfix
on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
- Correct our replacements for the timeradd() and timersub() functions
on platforms that lack them (for example, Windows). The timersub()
function is used when expiring circuits, while timeradd() is
currently unused. Bug report and patch by Vektor. Fixes bug 4778;
bugfix on 0.2.2.24-alpha.
- Fix the SOCKET_OK test that we use to tell when socket
creation fails so that it works on Win64. Fixes part of bug 4533;
bugfix on 0.2.2.29-beta. Bug found by wanoskarnet.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Reject out-of-range times like 23:59:61 in parse_rfc1123_time().
Fixes bug 5346; bugfix on 0.0.8pre3.
- Make our number-parsing functions always treat too-large values
as an error, even when those values exceed the width of the
underlying type. Previously, if the caller provided these
functions with minima or maxima set to the extreme values of the
underlying integer type, these functions would return those
values on overflow rather than treating overflow as an error.
Fixes part of bug 5786; bugfix on 0.0.9.
- Older Linux kernels erroneously respond to strange nmap behavior
by having accept() return successfully with a zero-length
socket. When this happens, just close the connection. Previously,
we would try harder to learn the remote address: but there was
no such remote address to learn, and our method for trying to
learn it was incorrect. Fixes bugs 1240, 4745, and 4747. Bugfix
on 0.1.0.3-rc. Reported and diagnosed by "r1eo".
- Correct parsing of certain date types in parse_http_time().
Without this patch, If-Modified-Since would behave
incorrectly. Fixes bug 5346; bugfix on 0.2.0.2-alpha. Patch from
Esteban Manchado Velázques.
- Change the BridgePassword feature (part of the "bridge community"
design, which is not yet implemented) to use a time-independent
comparison. The old behavior might have allowed an adversary
to use timing to guess the BridgePassword value. Fixes bug 5543;
bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
- Detect and reject certain misformed escape sequences in
configuration values. Previously, these values would cause us
to crash if received in a torrc file or over an authenticated
control port. Bug found by Esteban Manchado Velázquez, and
independently by Robert Connolly from Matta Consulting who further
noted that it allows a post-authentication heap overflow. Patch
by Alexander Schrijver. Fixes bugs 5090 and 5402 (CVE 2012-1668);
bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Fix a compile warning when using the --enable-openbsd-malloc
configure option. Fixes bug 5340; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- During configure, detect when we're building with clang version
3.0 or lower and disable the -Wnormalized=id and -Woverride-init
CFLAGS. clang doesn't support them yet.
- When sending an HTTP/1.1 proxy request, include a Host header.
Fixes bug 5593; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
- Fix a NULL-pointer dereference on a badly formed SETCIRCUITPURPOSE
command. Found by mikeyc. Fixes bug 5796; bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
- If we hit the error case where routerlist_insert() replaces an
existing (old) server descriptor, make sure to remove that
server descriptor from the old_routers list. Fix related to bug
1776. Bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation and log messages):
- Fix a typo in a log message in rend_service_rendezvous_has_opened().
Fixes bug 4856; bugfix on Tor 0.0.6.
- Update "ClientOnly" man page entry to explain that there isn't
really any point to messing with it. Resolves ticket 5005.
- Document the GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays
directory authority option (introduced in Tor 0.2.2.34).
- Downgrade the "We're missing a certificate" message from notice
to info: people kept mistaking it for a real problem, whereas it
is seldom the problem even when we are failing to bootstrap. Fixes
bug 5067; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Correctly spell "connect" in a log message on failure to create a
controlsocket. Fixes bug 4803; bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- Clarify the behavior of MaxCircuitDirtiness with hidden service
circuits. Fixes issue 5259.
o Minor features:
- Directory authorities now reject versions of Tor older than
0.2.1.30, and Tor versions between 0.2.2.1-alpha and 0.2.2.20-alpha
inclusive. These versions accounted for only a small fraction of
the Tor network, and have numerous known security issues. Resolves
issue 4788.
- Update to the May 1 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

protocol. This was a workaround for older versions of Tor, which
didn't handle RELAY_EARLY cells properly. Now that all supported
versions can handle RELAY_EARLY cells, and now that we're enforcing
the "no RELAY_EXTEND commands except in RELAY_EARLY cells" rule,
remove this workaround. Addresses bug 4786.

Changes in version 0.2.3.15-alpha - 2012-04-30
Tor 0.2.3.15-alpha fixes a variety of smaller bugs, including making
the development branch build on Windows again.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Make sure that there are no unhandled pending TLS errors before
reading from a TLS stream. We had checks in 0.1.0.3-rc, but
lost them in 0.1.0.5-rc when we refactored read_to_buf_tls().
Bugfix on 0.1.0.5-rc; fixes bug 4528.
- Fix an assert that directory authorities could trigger on sighup
during some configuration state transitions. We now don't treat
it as a fatal error when the new descriptor we just generated in
init_keys() isn't accepted. Fixes bug 4438; bugfix on 0.2.1.9-alpha.
- After we pick a directory mirror, we would refuse to use it if
it's in our ExcludeExitNodes list, resulting in mysterious failures
to bootstrap for people who just wanted to avoid exiting from
certain locations. Fixes bug 5623; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
- When building with --enable-static-tor on OpenBSD, do not
erroneously attempt to link -lrt. Fixes bug 5103.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x):
- When Tor is built with kernel headers from a recent (last few
years) Linux kernel, do not fail to run on older (pre-2.6.28
Linux kernels). Fixes bug 5112; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.

- Fix cross-compilation issues with mingw. Bugfixes on 0.2.3.6-alpha
fold in new changes entries
2012-04-30 22:14:20 +02:00
and 0.2.3.12-alpha.
- Fix compilation with miniupnpc version 1.6; patch from
Anthony G. Basile. Fixes bug 5434; bugfix on 0.2.3.12-alpha.
- Fix compilation with MSVC, which had defined MS_WINDOWS. Bugfix
on 0.2.3.13-alpha; found and fixed by Gisle Vanem.
- Fix compilation on platforms without unistd.h, or where environ
is defined in stdlib.h. Fixes bug 5704; bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Directory authorities are now a little more lenient at accepting
older router descriptors, or newer router descriptors that don't
make big changes. This should help ameliorate past and future
issues where routers think they have uploaded valid descriptors,
but the authorities don't think so. Fix for ticket 2479.
- Make the code that clients use to detect an address change be
IPv6-aware, so that it won't fill clients' logs with error
messages when trying to get the IPv4 address of an IPv6
connection. Implements ticket 5537.
o Removed features:
- Remove the GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays option;
authorities needed to use it for a while to keep the network working
as people upgraded to 0.2.1.31, 0.2.2.34, or 0.2.3.6-alpha, but
that was six months ago. As of now, it should no longer be needed
or used.

Changes in version 0.2.3.14-alpha - 2012-04-23
Tor 0.2.3.14-alpha fixes yet more bugs to get us closer to a release
candidate. It also dramatically speeds up AES: fast relays should
consider switching to the newer OpenSSL library.

2012-04-23 07:22:59 +02:00
- If authorities are unable to get a v2 consensus document from other
directory authorities, they no longer fall back to fetching
them from regular directory caches. Fixes bug 5635; bugfix on
0.2.2.26-beta, where routers stopped downloading v2 consensus
documents entirely.

- When built to use OpenSSL 1.0.1, and built for an x86 or x86_64
instruction set, take advantage of OpenSSL's AESNI, bitsliced, or
vectorized AES implementations as appropriate. These can be much,
much faster than other AES implementations.

- Don't launch more than 10 service-side introduction-point circuits
for a hidden service in five minutes. Previously, we would consider

2012-04-23 07:22:59 +02:00
- Change the BridgePassword feature (part of the "bridge community"
design, which is not yet implemented) to use a time-independent

to use timing to guess the BridgePassword value. Fixes bug 5543;
bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
- Enforce correct return behavior of tor_vsscanf() when the '%%'
pattern is used. Fixes bug 5558. Bugfix on 0.2.1.13.

- Fix a small memory leak when trying to decode incorrect base16
authenticator during SAFECOOKIE authentication. Found by
Coverity Scan. Fixes CID 507. Bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Add more information to a log statement that might help track down
bug 4091. If you're seeing "Bug: tor_addr_is_internal() called with a
non-IP address" messages (or any Bug messages, for that matter!),
please let us know about it.
- Relays now understand an IPv6 address when they get one from a
directory server. Resolves ticket 4875.
- Resolve IPv6 addresses in bridge and entry statistics to country
code "??" which means we at least count them. Resolves ticket 5053;
improves on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Update to the April 3 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

o Default torrc changes:
- Stop listing "socksport 9050" in torrc.sample. We open a socks
port on 9050 by default anyway, so this should not change anything
in practice.
- Stop mentioning the deprecated *ListenAddress options in
torrc.sample. Fixes bug 5438.

Everyone should be using torsocks instead. Fixes bugs 3530 and
5180. Based on a patch by "ugh".
o Code refactoring:
- Change the symmetric cipher interface so that creating and
initializing a stream cipher are no longer separate functions.
- Remove all internal support for unpadded RSA. We never used it, and
it would be a bad idea to start.

all of a client's bridges collude to restrict the exit nodes that
the client knows about. Fixes bug 5343.

connections. This change should allow busy exit relays to stop
running out of available sockets as quickly. Fixes bug 4950;
bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- Allow 0.2.3.x clients to use 0.2.2.x bridges. Previously the client
would ask the bridge for microdescriptors, which are only supported

answers it wanted. Fixes bug 4013; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Properly set up obfsproxy's environment when in managed mode. The
Tor Browser Bundle needs LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be passed to obfsproxy,
integrate recent changes files
2012-02-13 05:39:30 +01:00

the OutboundBindAddress, ExitPolicyRejectPrivate, and
PublishServerDescriptor options. Addresses bug 4652.
- Update to the February 7 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Downgrade the "We're missing a certificate" message from notice
to info: people kept mistaking it for a real problem, whereas it
is seldom the problem even when we are failing to bootstrap. Fixes

- Don't put "TOR_PT_EXTENDED_SERVER_PORT=127.0.0.1:4200" in a
managed pluggable transport server proxy's environment.
Previously, we would put it there, even though Tor doesn't
implement an 'extended server port' yet, and even though Tor

part of "Proposal 110: Avoiding infinite length circuits" by
refusing all circuit-extend requests that do not use a relay_early
cell. This change helps Tor resist a class of denial-of-service
attacks by limiting the maximum circuit length.
- Adjust the number of introduction points that a hidden service
will try to maintain based on how long its introduction points
remain in use and how many introductions they handle. Fixes
part of bug 3825.
- Try to use system facilities for enumerating local interface
addresses, before falling back to our old approach (which was
binding a UDP socket, and calling getsockname() on it). That
approach was scaring OS X users whose draconian firewall
software warned about binding to UDP sockets, regardless of
whether packets were sent. Now we try to use getifaddrs(),
SIOCGIFCONF, or GetAdaptersAddresses(), depending on what the
system supports. Resolves ticket 1827.
o Major security workaround:
- When building or running with any version of OpenSSL earlier
than 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f, disable SSLv3 support. These OpenSSL
versions have a bug (CVE-2011-4576) in which their block cipher
padding includes uninitialized data, potentially leaking sensitive
information to any peer with whom they make a SSLv3 connection. Tor
does not use SSL v3 by default, but a hostile client or server
could force an SSLv3 connection in order to gain information that
they shouldn't have been able to get. The best solution here is to
upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8s or 1.0.0f (or later). But when building
or running with a non-upgraded OpenSSL, we disable SSLv3 entirely
to make sure that the bug can't happen.
o Major bugfixes:

o Minor features (controller):

2012-01-07 13:42:07 +01:00
- Use absolute path names when reporting the torrc filename in the
control protocol, so a controller can more easily find the torrc
file. Resolves bug 1101.
- Extend the control protocol to report flags that control a circuit's
path selection in CIRC events and in replies to 'GETINFO
circuit-status'. Implements part of ticket 2411.
- Extend the control protocol to report the hidden service address
and current state of a hidden-service-related circuit in CIRC
events and in replies to 'GETINFO circuit-status'. Implements part
of ticket 2411.
fold in recent changelog entries
2012-01-22 06:15:45 +01:00
- When reporting the path to the cookie file to the controller,
give an absolute path. Resolves ticket 4881.
- Allow controllers to request an event notification whenever a
circuit is cannibalized or its purpose is changed. Implements
part of ticket 3457.
- Include the creation time of a circuit in CIRC and CIRC2
control-port events and the list produced by the 'GETINFO
circuit-status' control-port command.
o Minor features (directory authorities):
- Directory authorities now reject versions of Tor older than
0.2.1.30, and Tor versions between 0.2.2.1-alpha and 0.2.2.20-alpha
inclusive. These versions accounted for only a small fraction of
the Tor network, and have numerous known security issues. Resolves
issue 4788.

- Document the GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays
directory authority option (introduced in Tor 0.2.2.34).
o Minor features (other):
- Don't disable the DirPort when we cannot exceed our AccountingMax
limit during this interval because the effective bandwidthrate is
low enough. This is useful in a situation where AccountMax is only
used as an additional safeguard or to provide statistics.
- Prepend an informative header to generated dynamic_dh_params files.
- If EntryNodes are given, but UseEntryGuards is set to 0, warn that
EntryNodes will have no effect. Resolves issue 2571.
- Log more useful messages when we fail to disable debugger
attachment.
- Log which authority we're missing votes from when we go to fetch
them from the other auths.
- Log (at debug level) whenever a circuit's purpose is changed.

- Update to the January 3 2012 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Don't close hidden service client circuits which have almost
finished connecting to their destination when they reach
the normal circuit-build timeout. Previously, we would close
introduction circuits which are waiting for an acknowledgement
from the introduction point, and rendezvous circuits which have
been specified in an INTRODUCE1 cell sent to a hidden service,
after the normal CBT. Now, we mark them as 'timed out', and launch
another rendezvous attempt in parallel. This behavior change can
be disabled using the new CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout

o Minor bugfixes (other):
- Older Linux kernels erroneously respond to strange nmap behavior
by having accept() return successfully with a zero-length
socket. When this happens, just close the connection. Previously,
we would try harder to learn the remote address: but there was
no such remote address to learn, and our method for trying to
learn it was incorrect. Fixes bugs 1240, 4745, and 4747. Bugfix
on 0.1.0.3-rc. Reported and diagnosed by "r1eo".

- Fix an assertion failure when, while running with bufferevents, a
connection finishes connecting after it is marked for close, but
before it is closed. Fixes bug 4697; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- test_util_spawn_background_ok() hardcoded the expected value
for ENOENT to 2. This isn't portable as error numbers are
platform specific, and particularly the hurd has ENOENT at
0x40000002. Construct expected string at runtime, using the correct
value for ENOENT. Fixes bug 4733; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Reject attempts to disable DisableDebuggerAttachment while Tor is
running. Fixes bug 4650; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.

2012-01-07 13:42:07 +01:00
- When sending or relaying a RELAY_EARLY cell, we used to convert
it to a RELAY cell if the connection was using the v1 link
protocol. This was a workaround for older versions of Tor, which
didn't handle RELAY_EARLY cells properly. Now that all supported
versions can handle RELAY_EARLY cells, and now that we're enforcing
the "no RELAY_EXTEND commands except in RELAY_EARLY cells" rule,
remove this workaround. Addresses bug 4786.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Use OpenSSL's built-in SSL_state_string_long() instead of our
own homebrewed ssl_state_to_string() replacement. Patch from
Emile Snyder. Fixes bug 4653.
fold in recent changelog entries
2012-01-22 06:15:45 +01:00
- Use macros to indicate OpenSSL versions, so we don't need to worry
about accidental hexadecimal bit shifts.
- Remove some workaround code for OpenSSL 0.9.6 (which is no longer
supported).
- Convert more instances of tor_snprintf+tor_strdup into tor_asprintf.
- Use the smartlist_add_asprintf() alias more consistently.
- Use a TOR_INVALID_SOCKET macro when initializing a socket to an
invalid value, rather than just -1.
- Rename a handful of old identifiers, mostly related to crypto
structures and crypto functions. By convention, our "create an
object" functions are called "type_new()", our "free an object"
functions are called "type_free()", and our types indicate that
they are types only with a final "_t". But a handful of older
types and functions broke these rules, with function names like
"type_create" or "subsystem_op_type", or with type names like
type_env_t.

Changelog and blurb for 0.2.3.10-alpha
2011-12-15 17:59:09 +01:00
The bug relied on an incorrect calculation when making data continuous
in one of our IO buffers, if the first chunk of the buffer was
misaligned by just the wrong amount. The miscalculation would allow an
attacker to overflow a piece of heap-allocated memory. To mount this
attack, the attacker would need to either open a SOCKS connection to
Tor's SocksPort (usually restricted to localhost), or target a Tor
instance configured to make its connections through a SOCKS proxy
(which Tor does not do by default).
Good security practice requires that all heap-overflow bugs should be
presumed to be exploitable until proven otherwise, so we are treating
this as a potential code execution attack. Please upgrade immediately!
This bug does not affect bufferevents-based builds of Tor. Special
thanks to "Vektor" for reporting this issue to us!

Changes in version 0.2.2.35 - 2011-12-16
Tor 0.2.2.35 fixes a critical heap-overflow security issue in Tor's
buffers code. Absolutely everybody should upgrade.
The bug relied on an incorrect calculation when making data continuous
in one of our IO buffers, if the first chunk of the buffer was
misaligned by just the wrong amount. The miscalculation would allow an
attacker to overflow a piece of heap-allocated memory. To mount this
attack, the attacker would need to either open a SOCKS connection to
Tor's SocksPort (usually restricted to localhost), or target a Tor
instance configured to make its connections through a SOCKS proxy
(which Tor does not do by default).
Good security practice requires that all heap-overflow bugs should be
presumed to be exploitable until proven otherwise, so we are treating
this as a potential code execution attack. Please upgrade immediately!
This bug does not affect bufferevents-based builds of Tor. Special
thanks to "Vektor" for reporting this issue to us!
Tor 0.2.2.35 also fixes several bugs in previous versions, including
crash bugs for unusual configurations, and a long-term bug that
would prevent Tor from starting on Windows machines with draconian
AV software.
With this release, we remind everyone that 0.2.0.x has reached its
formal end-of-life. Those Tor versions have many known flaws, and
nobody should be using them. You should upgrade -- ideally to the
0.2.2.x series. If you're using a Linux or BSD and its packages are
obsolete, stop using those packages and upgrade anyway.
The Tor 0.2.1.x series is also approaching its end-of-life: it will no
longer receive support after some time in early 2012.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a heap overflow bug that could occur when trying to pull
data into the first chunk of a buffer, when that chunk had
already had some data drained from it. Fixes CVE-2011-2778;
bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by "Vektor".
- Initialize Libevent with the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NOLOCK flag enabled, so
that it doesn't attempt to allocate a socketpair. This could cause
some problems on Windows systems with overzealous firewalls. Fix for
bug 4457; workaround for Libevent versions 2.0.1-alpha through
2.0.15-stable.
- If we mark an OR connection for close based on a cell we process,
don't process any further cells on it. We already avoid further
reads on marked-for-close connections, but now we also discard the
cells we'd already read. Fixes bug 4299; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha,
which was the first version where we might mark a connection for
close based on processing a cell on it.
- Correctly sanity-check that we don't underflow on a memory
allocation (and then assert) for hidden service introduction
point decryption. Bug discovered by Dan Rosenberg. Fixes bug 4410;
bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak when we check whether a hidden service
descriptor has any usable introduction points left. Fixes bug
4424. Bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
- Don't crash when we're running as a relay and don't have a GeoIP
file. Bugfix on 0.2.2.34; fixes bug 4340. This backports a fix
we've had in the 0.2.3.x branch already.
- When running as a client, do not print a misleading (and plain
wrong) log message that we're collecting "directory request"
statistics: clients don't collect statistics. Also don't create a
useless (because empty) stats file in the stats/ directory. Fixes
bug 4353; bugfix on 0.2.2.34.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Detect failure to initialize Libevent. This fix provides better
detection for future instances of bug 4457.
- Avoid frequent calls to the fairly expensive cull_wedged_cpuworkers
function. This was eating up hideously large amounts of time on some
busy servers. Fixes bug 4518; bugfix on 0.0.9.8.
- Resolve an integer overflow bug in smartlist_ensure_capacity().
Fixes bug 4230; bugfix on Tor 0.1.0.1-rc. Based on a patch by
Mansour Moufid.
- Don't warn about unused log_mutex in log.c when building with
--disable-threads using a recent GCC. Fixes bug 4437; bugfix on
0.1.0.6-rc which introduced --disable-threads.
- When configuring, starting, or stopping an NT service, stop
immediately after the service configuration attempt has succeeded
or failed. Fixes bug 3963; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.
- When sending a NETINFO cell, include the original address
received for the other side, not its canonical address. Found
by "troll_un"; fixes bug 4349; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Fix a typo in a hibernation-related log message. Fixes bug 4331;
bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha; found by "tmpname0901".
- Fix a memory leak in launch_direct_bridge_descriptor_fetch() that
occurred when a client tried to fetch a descriptor for a bridge
in ExcludeNodes. Fixes bug 4383; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
- Backport fixes for a pair of compilation warnings on Windows.
Fixes bug 4521; bugfix on 0.2.2.28-beta and on 0.2.2.29-beta.
- If we had ever tried to call tor_addr_to_str on an address of
unknown type, we would have done a strdup on an uninitialized
buffer. Now we won't. Fixes bug 4529; bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
Reported by "troll_un".
- Correctly detect and handle transient lookup failures from
tor_addr_lookup. Fixes bug 4530; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Reported by "troll_un".
- Fix null-pointer access that could occur if TLS allocation failed.
Fixes bug 4531; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Found by "troll_un".
- Use tor_socket_t type for listener argument to accept(). Fixes bug
4535; bugfix on 0.2.2.28-beta. Found by "troll_un".
o Minor features:
- Add two new config options for directory authorities:
AuthDirFastGuarantee sets a bandwidth threshold for guaranteeing the
Fast flag, and AuthDirGuardBWGuarantee sets a bandwidth threshold
that is always sufficient to satisfy the bandwidth requirement for
the Guard flag. Now it will be easier for researchers to simulate
Tor networks with different values. Resolves ticket 4484.
- When Tor ignores a hidden service specified in its configuration,
include the hidden service's directory in the warning message.
Previously, we would only tell the user that some hidden service
was ignored. Bugfix on 0.0.6; fixes bug 4426.
- Update to the December 6 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Packaging changes:
- Make it easier to automate expert package builds on Windows,
by removing an absolute path from makensis.exe command.

others who cannot use the 0.2.2 stable series. All others should be
using Tor 0.2.2.x or newer.
The Tor 0.2.1.x series will reach formal end-of-life some time in
early 2012; we will stop releasing patches for it then.
o Major bugfixes (also included in 0.2.2.x):
- Correctly sanity-check that we don't underflow on a memory
allocation (and then assert) for hidden service introduction
point decryption. Bug discovered by Dan Rosenberg. Fixes bug 4410;
bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
- Fix a heap overflow bug that could occur when trying to pull
data into the first chunk of a buffer, when that chunk had
already had some data drained from it. Fixes CVE-2011-2778;
bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by "Vektor".
o Minor features:
- Update to the December 6 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

Changes in version 0.2.3.9-alpha - 2011-12-08
give 0.2.3.9-alpha a blurb
2011-12-08 21:52:36 +01:00
Tor 0.2.3.9-alpha introduces initial IPv6 support for bridges, adds
a "DisableNetwork" security feature that bundles can use to avoid
touching the network until bridges are configured, moves forward on
the pluggable transport design, fixes a flaw in the hidden service
design that unnecessarily prevented clients with wrong clocks from
reaching hidden services, and fixes a wide variety of other issues.

o Major features:

2011-12-08 10:38:37 +01:00
- Clients can now connect to private bridges over IPv6. Bridges
still need at least one IPv4 address in order to connect to
other relays. Note that we don't yet handle the case where the
user has two bridge lines for the same bridge (one IPv4, one
IPv6). Implements parts of proposal 186.
- New "DisableNetwork" config option to prevent Tor from launching any
connections or accepting any connections except on a control port.
Bundles and controllers can set this option before letting Tor talk
to the rest of the network, for example to prevent any connections
to a non-bridge address. Packages like Orbot can also use this
option to instruct Tor to save power when the network is off.
- Clients and bridges can now be configured to use a separate
"transport" proxy. This approach makes the censorship arms race
easier by allowing bridges to use protocol obfuscation plugins. It
implements the "managed proxy" part of proposal 180 (ticket 3472).

2011-11-26 01:24:42 +01:00
- When using OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later, use OpenSSL's counter mode
implementation. It makes AES_CTR about 7% faster than our old one
(which was about 10% faster than the one OpenSSL used to provide).
Resolves ticket 4526.
fold in changes files
2011-12-08 10:38:37 +01:00
- Add a "tor2web mode" for clients that want to connect to hidden
services non-anonymously (and possibly more quickly). As a safety
measure to try to keep users from turning this on without knowing
what they are doing, tor2web mode must be explicitly enabled at
compile time, and a copy of Tor compiled to run in tor2web mode
cannot be used as a normal Tor client. Implements feature 2553.
- Add experimental support for running on Windows with IOCP and no
kernel-space socket buffers. This feature is controlled by a new
"UserspaceIOCPBuffers" config option (off by default), which has
no effect unless Tor has been built with support for bufferevents,
is running on Windows, and has enabled IOCP. This may, in the long
run, help solve or mitigate bug 98.
- Use a more secure consensus parameter voting algorithm. Now at
least three directory authorities or a majority of them must
vote on a given parameter before it will be included in the
consensus. Implements proposal 178.

o Major bugfixes:

2011-12-08 10:38:37 +01:00
- Hidden services now ignore the timestamps on INTRODUCE2 cells.
They used to check that the timestamp was within 30 minutes
of their system clock, so they could cap the size of their
replay-detection cache, but that approach unnecessarily refused
service to clients with wrong clocks. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha, when
the v3 intro-point protocol (the first one which sent a timestamp
field in the INTRODUCE2 cell) was introduced; fixes bug 3460.

2011-11-26 01:24:42 +01:00
- Only use the EVP interface when AES acceleration is enabled,
to avoid a 5-7% performance regression. Resolves issue 4525;

2011-12-08 10:38:37 +01:00
o Privacy/anonymity features (bridge detection):
- Make bridge SSL certificates a bit more stealthy by using random
serial numbers, in the same fashion as OpenSSL when generating
self-signed certificates. Implements ticket 4584.
- Introduce a new config option "DynamicDHGroups", enabled by
default, which provides each bridge with a unique prime DH modulus
to be used during SSL handshakes. This option attempts to help
against censors who might use the Apache DH modulus as a static
identifier for bridges. Addresses ticket 4548.
o Minor features (new/different config options):
- New configuration option "DisableDebuggerAttachment" (on by default)
to prevent basic debugging attachment attempts by other processes.
Supports Mac OS X and Gnu/Linux. Resolves ticket 3313.
- Allow MapAddress directives to specify matches against super-domains,
as in "MapAddress *.torproject.org *.torproject.org.torserver.exit".
Implements issue 933.
- Slightly change behavior of "list" options (that is, config
options that can appear more than once) when they appear both in
torrc and on the command line. Previously, the command-line options
would be appended to the ones from torrc. Now, the command-line
options override the torrc options entirely. This new behavior
allows the user to override list options (like exit policies and
ports to listen on) from the command line, rather than simply
appending to the list.
- You can get the old (appending) command-line behavior for "list"
options by prefixing the option name with a "+".
- You can remove all the values for a "list" option from the command
line without adding any new ones by prefixing the option name
with a "/".
- Add experimental support for a "defaults" torrc file to be parsed
before the regular torrc. Torrc options override the defaults file's
options in the same way that the command line overrides the torrc.
The SAVECONF controller command saves only those options which
differ between the current configuration and the defaults file. HUP
reloads both files. (Note: This is an experimental feature; its
behavior will probably be refined in future 0.2.3.x-alpha versions
retroactively say which ticket the defaults torrc patch was
2012-03-14 07:31:18 +01:00
to better meet packagers' needs.) Implements task 4552.

o Minor features:
- Try to make the introductory warning message that Tor prints on
startup more useful for actually finding help and information.

- Running "make version" now displays the version of Tor that

- Expire old or over-used hidden service introduction points.
Required by fix for bug 3460.
- Move the replay-detection cache for the RSA-encrypted parts of
INTRODUCE2 cells to the introduction point data structures.
Previously, we would use one replay-detection cache per hidden
service. Required by fix for bug 3460.
- Reduce the lifetime of elements of hidden services' Diffie-Hellman
public key replay-detection cache from 60 minutes to 5 minutes. This
replay-detection cache is now used only to detect multiple
INTRODUCE2 cells specifying the same rendezvous point, so we can
avoid launching multiple simultaneous attempts to connect to it.

Changes in version 0.2.3.8-alpha - 2011-11-22
Tor 0.2.3.8-alpha fixes some crash and assert bugs, including a
socketpair-related bug that has been bothering Windows users. It adds
support to serve microdescriptors to controllers, so Vidalia's network
map can resume listing relays (once Vidalia implements its side),
and adds better support for hardware AES acceleration. Finally, it
starts the process of adjusting the bandwidth cutoff for getting the
"Fast" flag from 20KB to (currently) 32KB -- preliminary results show
that tiny relays harm performance more than they help network capacity.

o Major bugfixes:

2011-11-21 05:12:34 +01:00
- Initialize Libevent with the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NOLOCK flag enabled, so
that it doesn't attempt to allocate a socketpair. This could cause
some problems on Windows systems with overzealous firewalls. Fix for
bug 4457; workaround for Libevent versions 2.0.1-alpha through
2.0.15-stable.

- Correctly sanity-check that we don't underflow on a memory

bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
add a blurb for 0.2.3.8-alpha
2011-11-23 00:29:34 +01:00
- Remove the artificially low cutoff of 20KB to guarantee the Fast
flag. In the past few years the average relay speed has picked
up, and while the "top 7/8 of the network get the Fast flag" and
"all relays with 20KB or more of capacity get the Fast flag" rules
used to have the same result, now the top 7/8 of the network has
a capacity more like 32KB. Bugfix on 0.2.1.14-rc. Fixes bug 4489.

2011-11-07 21:22:23 +01:00
- Fix a rare assertion failure when checking whether a v0 hidden
service descriptor has any usable introduction points left, and
we don't have enough information to build a circuit to the first
intro point named in the descriptor. The HS client code in
0.2.3.x no longer uses v0 HS descriptors, but this assertion can
trigger on (and crash) v0 HS authorities. Fixes bug 4411.

wrong) log message that we're collecting "directory request"
statistics: clients don't collect statistics. Also don't create a

o Major features:
- Allow Tor controllers like Vidalia to obtain the microdescriptor
for a relay by identity digest or nickname. Previously,
microdescriptors were only available by their own digests, so a
controller would have to ask for and parse the whole microdescriptor
consensus in order to look up a single relay's microdesc. Fixes
bug 3832; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Use OpenSSL's EVP interface for AES encryption, so that all AES
operations can use hardware acceleration (if present). Resolves
ticket 4442.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):

- When we fail to initialize Libevent, retry with IOCP disabled so we
don't need to turn on multi-threading support in Libevent, which in
turn requires a working socketpair(). This is a workaround for bug
4457, which affects Libevent versions from 2.0.1-alpha through
2.0.15-stable.

Fixes CVE-2011-2768. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5; found by "frosty_un".
- If a relay receives a CREATE_FAST cell on a TLS connection, it
no longer considers that connection as suitable for satisfying a
circuit EXTEND request. Now relays can protect clients from the
CVE-2011-2768 issue even if the clients haven't upgraded yet.
- Directory authorities no longer assign the Guard flag to relays
that haven't upgraded to the above "refuse EXTEND requests
to client connections" fix. Now directory authorities can
protect clients from the CVE-2011-2768 issue even if neither
the clients nor the relays have upgraded yet. There's a new
"GiveGuardFlagTo_CVE_2011_2768_VulnerableRelays" config option
to let us transition smoothly, else tomorrow there would be no
guard relays.

o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
closer to a changelog for the next alpha
2011-10-26 22:13:53 +02:00
- Improve hidden service robustness: when an attempt to connect to
a hidden service ends, be willing to refetch its hidden service
descriptors from each of the HSDir relays responsible for them
immediately. Previously, we would not consider refetching the
service's descriptors from each HSDir for 15 minutes after the last
fetch, which was inconvenient if the hidden service was not running
during the first attempt. Bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha; fixes bug 3335.

2011-10-24 08:56:35 +02:00
- When one of a hidden service's introduction points appears to be
unreachable, stop trying it. Previously, we would keep trying
to build circuits to the introduction point until we lost the
descriptor, usually because the user gave up and restarted Tor.
Partly fixes bug 3825.

2011-10-26 22:13:53 +02:00
- Don't launch a useless circuit after failing to use one of a
hidden service's introduction points. Previously, we would
launch a new introduction circuit, but not set the hidden service
which that circuit was intended to connect to, so it would never
actually be used. A different piece of code would then create a
new introduction circuit correctly. Bug reported by katmagic and
found by Sebastian Hahn. Bugfix on 0.2.1.13-alpha; fixes bug 4212.

o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- When a hidden service turns an extra service-side introduction
circuit into a general-purpose circuit, free the rend_data and
intro_key fields first, so we won't leak memory if the circuit
is cannibalized for use as another service-side introduction
circuit. Bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha; fixes bug 4251.
- Rephrase the log message emitted if the TestSocks check is
successful. Patch from Fabian Keil; fixes bug 4094.
- Bridges now skip DNS self-tests, to act a little more stealthily.
Fixes bug 4201; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha, which first introduced
bridges. Patch by "warms0x".
- Remove a confusing dollar sign from the example fingerprint in the
man page, and also make the example fingerprint a valid one. Fixes
bug 4309; bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
- Fix internal bug-checking logic that was supposed to catch
failures in digest generation so that it will fail more robustly
if we ask for a nonexistent algorithm. Found by Coverity Scan.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha; fixes Coverity CID 479.

Changes in version 0.2.2.34 - 2011-10-26
Tor 0.2.2.34 fixes a critical anonymity vulnerability where an attacker
can deanonymize Tor users. Everybody should upgrade.
The attack relies on four components: 1) Clients reuse their TLS cert
when talking to different relays, so relays can recognize a user by
the identity key in her cert. 2) An attacker who knows the client's
identity key can probe each guard relay to see if that identity key
is connected to that guard relay right now. 3) A variety of active
attacks in the literature (starting from "Low-Cost Traffic Analysis
of Tor" by Murdoch and Danezis in 2005) allow a malicious website to
discover the guard relays that a Tor user visiting the website is using.
4) Clients typically pick three guards at random, so the set of guards
for a given user could well be a unique fingerprint for her. This
release fixes components #1 and #2, which is enough to block the attack;
the other two remain as open research problems. Special thanks to
"frosty_un" for reporting the issue to us!
Clients should upgrade so they are no longer recognizable by the TLS
certs they present. Relays should upgrade so they no longer allow a
remote attacker to probe them to test whether unpatched clients are
currently connected to them.
This release also fixes several vulnerabilities that allow an attacker
to enumerate bridge relays. Some bridge enumeration attacks still
remain; see for example proposal 188.
o Privacy/anonymity fixes (clients):
- Clients and bridges no longer send TLS certificate chains on

outgoing OR connections. Previously, each client or bridge would
use the same cert chain for all outgoing OR connections until
its IP address changes, which allowed any relay that the client
or bridge contacted to determine which entry guards it is using.

o Privacy/anonymity fixes (bridge enumeration):
- Bridge relays now do their directory fetches inside Tor TLS
connections, like all the other clients do, rather than connecting
directly to the DirPort like public relays do. Removes another
avenue for enumerating bridges. Fixes bug 4115; bugfix on 0.2.0.35.
- Bridges relays now build circuits for themselves in a more similar
way to how clients build them. Removes another avenue for

intervention. Patch from Tom Lowenthal. Fixes bug 4063;
bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Turn on directory request statistics by default and include them in
extra-info descriptors. Don't break if we have no GeoIP database.
Backported from 0.2.3.1-alpha; implements ticket 3951.
- Update to the October 4 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
Changes in version 0.2.1.31 - 2011-10-26
Tor 0.2.1.31 backports important security and privacy fixes for
oldstable. This release is intended only for package maintainers and
others who cannot use the 0.2.2 stable series. All others should be
using Tor 0.2.2.x or newer.
o Security fixes (also included in 0.2.2.x):
- Replace all potentially sensitive memory comparison operations
with versions whose runtime does not depend on the data being
compared. This will help resist a class of attacks where an
adversary can use variations in timing information to learn
sensitive data. Fix for one case of bug 3122. (Safe memcmp
implementation by Robert Ransom based partially on code by DJB.)
- Fix an assert in parsing router descriptors containing IPv6
addresses. This one took down the directory authorities when
somebody tried some experimental code. Bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
o Privacy/anonymity fixes (also included in 0.2.2.x):
- Clients and bridges no longer send TLS certificate chains on

outgoing OR connections. Previously, each client or bridge would

connections from client connections, creating another avenue for
enumerating bridges. Fixes CVE-2011-2769. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Found by "frosty_un".
- When receiving a hidden service descriptor, check that it is for
the hidden service we wanted. Previously, Tor would store any
hidden service descriptors that a directory gave it, whether it
wanted them or not. This wouldn't have let an attacker impersonate
a hidden service, but it did let directories pre-seed a client
with descriptors that it didn't want. Bugfix on 0.0.6.
- Avoid linkability based on cached hidden service descriptors: forget
all hidden service descriptors cached as a client when processing a
SIGNAL NEWNYM command. Fixes bug 3000; bugfix on 0.0.6.
- Make the bridge directory authority refuse to answer directory
requests for "all" descriptors. It used to include bridge
descriptors in its answer, which was a major information leak.
Found by "piebeer". Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Don't attach new streams to old rendezvous circuits after SIGNAL
NEWNYM. Previously, we would keep using an existing rendezvous
circuit if it remained open (i.e. if it were kept open by a
long-lived stream, or if a new stream were attached to it before
Tor could notice that it was old and no longer in use). Bugfix on
0.1.1.15-rc; fixes bug 3375.
o Minor bugfixes (also included in 0.2.2.x):
- When we restart our relay, we might get a successful connection
from the outside before we've started our reachability tests,
triggering a warning: "ORPort found reachable, but I have no
routerinfo yet. Failing to inform controller of success." This
bug was harmless unless Tor is running under a controller
like Vidalia, in which case the controller would never get a
REACHABILITY_SUCCEEDED status event. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha;
fixes bug 1172.
- Build correctly on OSX with zlib 1.2.4 and higher with all warnings
enabled. Fixes bug 1526.
- Remove undocumented option "-F" from tor-resolve: it hasn't done
anything since 0.2.1.16-rc.
- Avoid signed/unsigned comparisons by making SIZE_T_CEILING unsigned.
None of the cases where we did this before were wrong, but by making
this change we avoid warnings. Fixes bug 2475; bugfix on 0.2.1.28.
- Fix a rare crash bug that could occur when a client was configured
with a large number of bridges. Fixes bug 2629; bugfix on
0.2.1.2-alpha. Bugfix by trac user "shitlei".
- Correct the warning displayed when a rendezvous descriptor exceeds
the maximum size. Fixes bug 2750; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by
John Brooks.
- Fix an uncommon assertion failure when running with DNSPort under
heavy load. Fixes bug 2933; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- When warning about missing zlib development packages during compile,
give the correct package names. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Require that introduction point keys and onion keys have public
exponent 65537. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Do not crash when our configuration file becomes unreadable, for
example due to a permissions change, between when we start up
and when a controller calls SAVECONF. Fixes bug 3135; bugfix
on 0.0.9pre6.
- Fix warnings from GCC 4.6's "-Wunused-but-set-variable" option.
Fixes bug 3208.
- Always NUL-terminate the sun_path field of a sockaddr_un before
passing it to the kernel. (Not a security issue: kernels are
smart enough to reject bad sockaddr_uns.) Found by Coverity;
CID #428. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Don't stack-allocate the list of supplementary GIDs when we're
about to log them. Stack-allocating NGROUPS_MAX gid_t elements
could take up to 256K, which is way too much stack. Found by
Coverity; CID #450. Bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (only in 0.2.1.x):
- Resume using micro-version numbers in 0.2.1.x: our Debian packages
rely on them. Bugfix on 0.2.1.30.
- Use git revisions instead of svn revisions when generating our
micro-version numbers. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc; fixes bug 2402.
o Minor features (also included in 0.2.2.x):
- Adjust the expiration time on our SSL session certificates to
better match SSL certs seen in the wild. Resolves ticket 4014.
- Allow nameservers with IPv6 address. Resolves bug 2574.
- Update to the October 4 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

Tor 0.2.3.4-alpha includes the fixes from 0.2.2.33, including a slight
tweak to Tor's TLS handshake that makes relays and bridges that run
this new version reachable from Iran again. It also fixes a few new
bugs in 0.2.3.x, and teaches relays to recognize when they're not

2011-09-14 01:56:59 +02:00
- Demote the 'replay detected' log message emitted when a hidden
service receives the same Diffie-Hellman public key in two different
INTRODUCE2 cells to info level. A normal Tor client can cause that
log message during its normal operation. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha;
fixes part of bug 2442.
- Demote the 'INTRODUCE2 cell is too {old,new}' log message to info
level. There is nothing that a hidden service's operator can do
to fix its clients' clocks. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha; fixes part
of bug 2442.
- Clarify a log message specifying the characters permitted in
HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient client names. Previously, the log
message said that "[A-Za-z0-9+-_]" were permitted; that could have
given the impression that every ASCII character between "+" and "_"
was permitted. Now we say "[A-Za-z0-9+_-]". Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.

BSDs. Fixes bug 3894; reported by "grarpamp".
- Search for a platform-specific version of "ar" when cross-compiling.
Should fix builds on iOS. Resolves bug 3909, found by Marco Bonetti.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bug where the SocksPort option (for example) would get
ignored and replaced by the default if a SocksListenAddress
option was set. Bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha; fixes bug 3936. Fix by
Fabian Keil.
o Major features:
- Relays now try regenerating and uploading their descriptor more
frequently if they are not listed in the consensus, or if the
version of their descriptor listed in the consensus is too
old. This fix should prevent situations where a server declines
to re-publish itself because it has done so too recently, even
though the authorities decided not to list its recent-enough
descriptor. Fix for bug 3327.

Changes in version 0.2.2.33 - 2011-09-13
Tor 0.2.2.33 fixes several bugs, and includes a slight tweak to Tor's
TLS handshake that makes relays and bridges that run this new version
reachable from Iran again.
o Major bugfixes:
- Avoid an assertion failure when reloading a configuration with
TrackExitHosts changes. Found and fixed by 'laruldan'. Fixes bug
3923; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
o Minor features (security):
- Check for replays of the public-key encrypted portion of an
INTRODUCE1 cell, in addition to the current check for replays of
the g^x value. This prevents a possible class of active attacks
by an attacker who controls both an introduction point and a
rendezvous point, and who uses the malleability of AES-CTR to

- Update to the September 6 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes (documentation and log messages):
- Correct the man page to explain that HashedControlPassword and
CookieAuthentication can both be set, in which case either method
is sufficient to authenticate to Tor. Bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha,
when we decided to allow these config options to both be set. Issue
raised by bug 3898.
- Demote the 'replay detected' log message emitted when a hidden
service receives the same Diffie-Hellman public key in two different
INTRODUCE2 cells to info level. A normal Tor client can cause that
log message during its normal operation. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha;

- Provide a substitute implementation of lround() for MSVC, which
apparently lacks it. Patch from Gisle Vanem.

Changes in version 0.2.3.3-alpha - 2011-09-01
Tor 0.2.3.3-alpha adds a new "stream isolation" feature to improve Tor's
security, and provides client-side support for the microdescriptor
and optimistic data features introduced earlier in the 0.2.3.x
series. It also includes numerous critical bugfixes in the (optional)
bufferevent-based networking backend.

SocksPorts, or have one of them use SOCKS4 while the other uses
SOCKS5, or have them pass different authentication strings to the
SOCKS proxy. Then, use the new SocksPort syntax to configure the
degree of isolation you need. This implements Proposal 171.
clean 0.2.3.3-alpha changelog ready when you are, nick
2011-09-01 08:43:11 +02:00
- There's a new syntax for specifying multiple client ports (such as
SOCKSPort, TransPort, DNSPort, NATDPort): you can now just declare
multiple *Port entries with full addr:port syntax on each.
The old *ListenAddress format is still supported, but you can't
mix it with the new *Port syntax.
o Major features (other):
- Enable microdescriptor fetching by default for clients. This allows
clients to download a much smaller amount of directory information.
To disable it (and go back to the old-style consensus and
descriptors), set "UseMicrodescriptors 0" in your torrc file.
- Tor's firewall-helper feature, introduced in 0.2.3.1-alpha (see the
"PortForwarding" config option), now supports Windows.
- When using an exit relay running 0.2.3.x, clients can now
"optimistically" send data before the exit relay reports that
the stream has opened. This saves a round trip when starting
connections where the client speaks first (such as web browsing).
This behavior is controlled by a consensus parameter (currently
disabled). To turn it on or off manually, use the "OptimisticData"
torrc option. Implements proposal 181; code by Ian Goldberg.

o Minor features:
- Added a new CONF_CHANGED event so that controllers can be notified
of any configuration changes made by other controllers, or by the

leak when using bufferevents, and lets Libevent worry about how to
best copy data out of a buffer.
- Replace files in stats/ rather than appending to them. Now that we

First draft of an 0.2.3.3-alpha changelog
2011-08-31 07:02:38 +02:00
- Write several files in text mode, on OSes that distinguish text
mode from binary mode (namely, Windows). These files are:
'buffer-stats', 'dirreq-stats', and 'entry-stats' on relays
that collect those statistics; 'client_keys' and 'hostname' for
hidden services that use authentication; and (in the tor-gencert
utility) newly generated identity and signing keys. Previously,
we wouldn't specify text mode or binary mode, leading to an
assertion failure. Fixes bug 3607. Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha (when
the DirRecordUsageByCountry option which would have triggered
the assertion failure was added), although this assertion failure
would have occurred in tor-gencert on Windows in 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Selectively disable deprecation warnings on OS X because Lion
started deprecating the shipped copy of openssl. Fixes bug 3643.
- Remove an extra pair of quotation marks around the error
message in control-port STATUS_GENERAL BUG events. Bugfix on
0.1.2.6-alpha; fixes bug 3732.
- When unable to format an address as a string, report its value
as "???" rather than reusing the last formatted address. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
clean 0.2.3.3-alpha changelog ready when you are, nick

we want.
o Build changes:
- Building Tor with bufferevent support now requires Libevent
2.0.13-stable or later. Previous versions of Libevent had bugs in
SSL-related bufferevents and related issues that would make Tor
work badly with bufferevents. Requiring 2.0.13-stable also allows
Tor with bufferevents to take advantage of Libevent APIs
introduced after 2.0.8-rc.

The Tor 0.2.2 release series is dedicated to the memory of Andreas
Pfitzmann (1958-2010), a pioneer in anonymity and privacy research,
a founder of the PETS community, a leader in our field, a mentor,
and a friend. He left us with these words: "I had the possibility
to contribute to this world that is not as it should be. I hope I
could help in some areas to make the world a better place, and that
I could also encourage other people to be engaged in improving the
world. Please, stay engaged. This world needs you, your love, your

2011-08-27 01:14:07 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.32, the first stable release in the 0.2.2 branch, is finally
ready. More than two years in the making, this release features improved
client performance and hidden service reliability, better compatibility
for Android, correct behavior for bridges that listen on more than
one address, more extensible and flexible directory object handling,
better reporting of network statistics, improved code security, and
many many other features and bugfixes.
Changes in version 0.2.2.31-rc - 2011-08-17
Tor 0.2.2.31-rc is the second and hopefully final release candidate
for the Tor 0.2.2.x series.

o Major features:
- Clients can now use microdescriptors instead of regular descriptors
finish the changelog
2011-07-18 19:39:01 +02:00
to build circuits. Microdescriptors are authority-generated
summaries of regular descriptors' contents, designed to change
very rarely (see proposal 158 for details). This feature is
designed to save bandwidth, especially for clients on slow internet
connections. It's off by default for now, since nearly no caches
support it, but it will be on-by-default for clients in a future
version. You can use the UseMicrodescriptors option to turn it on.

2011-07-18 19:18:46 +02:00
- Tor clients using bridges can now be configured to use a separate
'transport' proxy for each bridge. This approach helps to resist
censorship by allowing bridges to use protocol obfuscation
plugins. It implements part of proposal 180. Implements ticket 2841.
- While we're trying to bootstrap, record how many TLS connections
fail in each state, and report which states saw the most failures
in response to any bootstrap failures. This feature may speed up
diagnosis of censorship events. Implements ticket 3116.
o Major bugfixes (on 0.2.3.1-alpha):
- When configuring a large set of nodes in EntryNodes (as with
'EntryNodes {cc}' or 'EntryNodes 1.1.1.1/16'), choose only a
random subset to be guards, and choose them in random
order. Fixes bug 2798.

- Tor could crash when remembering a consensus in a non-used consensus
flavor without having a current consensus set. Fixes bug 3361.
- Comparing an unknown address to a microdescriptor's shortened exit
policy would always give a "rejected" result. Fixes bug 3599.
- Using microdescriptors as a client no longer prevents Tor from
uploading and downloading hidden service descriptors. Fixes
bug 3601.

o Minor features:
- Allow nameservers with IPv6 address. Resolves bug 2574.
- Accept attempts to include a password authenticator in the
handshake, as supported by SOCKS5. This handles SOCKS clients that
don't know how to omit a password when authenticating. Resolves
bug 1666.
- When configuring a large set of nodes in EntryNodes, and there are
enough of them listed as Guard so that we don't need to consider
the non-guard entries, prefer the ones listed with the Guard flag.
- Check for and recover from inconsistency in the microdescriptor
cache. This will make it harder for us to accidentally free a
microdescriptor without removing it from the appropriate data
structures. Fixes issue 3135; issue noted by "wanoskarnet".
- Log SSL state transitions at log level DEBUG, log domain
HANDSHAKE. This can be useful for debugging censorship events.
Implements ticket 3264.
- Add port 6523 (Gobby) to LongLivedPorts. Patch by intrigeri;
implements ticket 3439.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.1-alpha):
- Do not free all general-purpose regular descriptors just
because microdescriptor use is enabled. Fixes bug 3113.
- Correctly link libevent_openssl when --enable-static-libevent
is passed to configure. Fixes bug 3118.

- Bridges should not complain during their heartbeat log messages that
they are unlisted in the consensus: that's more or less the point

2011-07-18 19:18:46 +02:00
event to the controller if we acted on a SIGNAL NEWNYM command
immediately, and otherwise not report a SIGNAL event for the
command at all. Fixes bug 3349.
- Fix a crash when handling the SIGNAL controller command or
reporting ERR-level status events with bufferevents enabled. Found
by Robert Ransom. Fixes bug 3367.
- Always ship the tor-fw-helper manpage in our release tarballs.
Fixes bug 3389. Reported by Stephen Walker.

- Add SIGNAL to the list returned by the 'GETINFO events/names'

- Prevent using negative indices during unit test runs when read_all()
fails. Spotted by coverity.
- Fix a rare memory leak when checking the nodelist without it being
present. Found by coverity.
- Only try to download a microdescriptor-flavored consensus from
a directory cache that provides them.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Assert that hidden-service-related operations are not performed
using single-hop circuits. Previously, Tor would assert that
client-side streams are not attached to single-hop circuits,
but not that other sensitive operations on the client and service
side are not performed using single-hop circuits. Fixes bug 3332;
bugfix on 0.0.6.
- Don't publish a new relay descriptor when we reload our onion key,
unless the onion key has actually changed. Fixes bug 3263 and
resolves another cause of bug 1810. Bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
- Allow GETINFO fingerprint to return a fingerprint even when
we have not yet built a router descriptor. Fixes bug 3577;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.

2011-07-18 19:39:01 +02:00
- Make 'tor --digests' list hashes of all Tor source files. Bugfix

start folding in the 0.2.3.2-alpha changelog entries
2011-07-18 19:18:46 +02:00
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Use tor_sscanf() in place of scanf() in more places through the
code. This makes us a little more locale-independent, and
should help shut up code-analysis tools that can't tell
a safe sscanf string from a dangerous one.
- Use tt_assert(), not tor_assert(), for checking for test failures.
This makes the unit tests more able to go on in the event that
one of them fails.
- Split connection_about_to_close() into separate functions for each
connection type.
o Build changes:
- On Windows, we now define the _WIN32_WINNT macros only if they
are not already defined. This lets the person building Tor decide,
if they want, to require a later version of Windows.

Changes in version 0.2.2.30-rc - 2011-07-07
Tor 0.2.2.30-rc is the first release candidate for the Tor 0.2.2.x
series. It fixes a few smaller bugs, but generally appears stable.
Please test it and let us know whether it is!
o Minor bugfixes:
- Send a SUCCEEDED stream event to the controller when a reverse
resolve succeeded. Fixes bug 3536; bugfix on 0.0.8pre1. Issue
discovered by katmagic.
- Always NUL-terminate the sun_path field of a sockaddr_un before
passing it to the kernel. (Not a security issue: kernels are
smart enough to reject bad sockaddr_uns.) Found by Coverity;
CID #428. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Don't stack-allocate the list of supplementary GIDs when we're
about to log them. Stack-allocating NGROUPS_MAX gid_t elements
could take up to 256K, which is way too much stack. Found by
Coverity; CID #450. Bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha.
- Add BUILDTIMEOUT_SET to the list returned by the 'GETINFO
events/names' control-port command. Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha;
fixes part of bug 3465.
- Fix a memory leak when receiving a descriptor for a hidden
service we didn't ask for. Found by Coverity; CID #30. Bugfix
on 0.2.2.26-beta.
o Minor features:
- Update to the July 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

Changes in version 0.2.2.29-beta - 2011-06-20
Tor 0.2.2.29-beta reverts an accidental behavior change for users who
have bridge lines in their torrc but don't want to use them; gets
us closer to having the control socket feature working on Debian;
and fixes a variety of smaller bugs.
o Major bugfixes:
- Revert the UseBridges option to its behavior before 0.2.2.28-beta.
When we changed the default behavior to "use bridges if any
are listed in the torrc", we surprised users who had bridges
in their torrc files but who didn't actually want to use them.
Partial resolution for bug 3354.
o Privacy fixes:
- Don't attach new streams to old rendezvous circuits after SIGNAL
NEWNYM. Previously, we would keep using an existing rendezvous
circuit if it remained open (i.e. if it were kept open by a
long-lived stream, or if a new stream were attached to it before
Tor could notice that it was old and no longer in use). Bugfix on
0.1.1.15-rc; fixes bug 3375.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a bug when using ControlSocketsGroupWritable with User. The
directory's group would be checked against the current group, not
the configured group. Patch by Jérémy Bobbio. Fixes bug 3393;
bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.

with more than INT_MAX entries. Found by wanoskarnet. Bugfix on
0.2.2.4-alpha.

- Remove a few dead assignments during router parsing. Found by
coverity.
- Add some forgotten return value checks during unit tests. Found
by coverity.
- Don't use 1-bit wide signed bit fields. Found by coverity.
port-forward the 0.2.2.28-beta changelog stanza
2011-06-05 07:46:13 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.28-beta - 2011-06-04
Tor 0.2.2.28-beta makes great progress towards a new stable release: we
fixed a big bug in whether relays stay in the consensus consistently,
we moved closer to handling bridges and hidden services correctly,
and we started the process of better handling the dreaded "my Vidalia
died, and now my Tor demands a password when I try to reconnect to it"
usability issue.
o Major bugfixes:
- Don't decide to make a new descriptor when receiving a HUP signal.
This bug has caused a lot of 0.2.2.x relays to disappear from the
consensus periodically. Fixes the most common case of triggering
bug 1810; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
- Actually allow nameservers with IPv6 addresses. Fixes bug 2574.
- Don't try to build descriptors if "ORPort auto" is set and we
don't know our actual ORPort yet. Fix for bug 3216; bugfix on
0.2.2.26-beta.
- Resolve a crash that occurred when setting BridgeRelay to 1 with
accounting enabled. Fixes bug 3228; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
- Apply circuit timeouts to opened hidden-service-related circuits
based on the correct start time. Previously, we would apply the
circuit build timeout based on time since the circuit's creation;
it was supposed to be applied based on time since the circuit
entered its current state. Bugfix on 0.0.6; fixes part of bug 1297.
- Use the same circuit timeout for client-side introduction
circuits as for other four-hop circuits, rather than the timeout
for single-hop directory-fetch circuits; the shorter timeout may
have been appropriate with the static circuit build timeout in
0.2.1.x and earlier, but caused many hidden service access attempts
to fail with the adaptive CBT introduced in 0.2.2.2-alpha. Bugfix
on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes another part of bug 1297.
- In ticket 2511 we fixed a case where you could use an unconfigured
bridge if you had configured it as a bridge the last time you ran
Tor. Now fix another edge case: if you had configured it as a bridge
but then switched to a different bridge via the controller, you
would still be willing to use the old one. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha;
fixes bug 3321.
o Major features:
- Add an __OwningControllerProcess configuration option and a
TAKEOWNERSHIP control-port command. Now a Tor controller can ensure
that when it exits, Tor will shut down. Implements feature 3049.
- If "UseBridges 1" is set and no bridges are configured, Tor will
now refuse to build any circuits until some bridges are set.
If "UseBridges auto" is set, Tor will use bridges if they are
configured and we are not running as a server, but otherwise will
make circuits as usual. The new default is "auto". Patch by anonym,
so the Tails LiveCD can stop automatically revealing you as a Tor
user on startup.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix warnings from GCC 4.6's "-Wunused-but-set-variable" option.
- Remove a trailing asterisk from "exit-policy/default" in the
output of the control port command "GETINFO info/names". Bugfix
on 0.1.2.5-alpha.
- Use a wide type to hold sockets when built for 64-bit Windows builds.
Fixes bug 3270.
- Warn when the user configures two HiddenServiceDir lines that point
to the same directory. Bugfix on 0.0.6 (the version introducing
HiddenServiceDir); fixes bug 3289.
- Remove dead code from rend_cache_lookup_v2_desc_as_dir. Fixes
part of bug 2748; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Log malformed requests for rendezvous descriptors as protocol
warnings, not warnings. Also, use a more informative log message
in case someone sees it at log level warning without prior
info-level messages. Fixes the other part of bug 2748; bugfix
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Clear the table recording the time of the last request for each
hidden service descriptor from each HS directory on SIGNAL NEWNYM.
Previously, we would clear our HS descriptor cache on SIGNAL
NEWNYM, but if we had previously retrieved a descriptor (or tried
to) from every directory responsible for it, we would refuse to
fetch it again for up to 15 minutes. Bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha;
fixes bug 3309.
- Fix a log message that said "bits" while displaying a value in
bytes. Found by wanoskarnet. Fixes bug 3318; bugfix on
0.2.0.1-alpha.
- When checking for 1024-bit keys, check for 1024 bits, not 128
bytes. This allows Tor to correctly discard keys of length 1017
through 1023. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
o Minor features:
- Relays now log the reason for publishing a new relay descriptor,
so we have a better chance of hunting down instances of bug 1810.
Resolves ticket 3252.
- Revise most log messages that refer to nodes by nickname to
instead use the "$key=nickname at address" format. This should be
more useful, especially since nicknames are less and less likely
to be unique. Resolves ticket 3045.
- Log (at info level) when purging pieces of hidden-service-client
state because of SIGNAL NEWNYM.
o Removed options:
- Remove undocumented option "-F" from tor-resolve: it hasn't done
anything since 0.2.1.16-rc.
add 0.2.2.27-beta changelog to master also clean up the 0.2.3.1-alpha changelog headers
2011-05-20 03:39:09 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.27-beta - 2011-05-18
Tor 0.2.2.27-beta fixes a bridge-related stability bug in the previous
release, and also adds a few more general bugfixes.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a crash bug when changing bridges in a running Tor process.
Fixes bug 3213; bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- When the controller configures a new bridge, don't wait 10 to 60
seconds before trying to fetch its descriptor. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes bug 3198 (suggested by 2355).
o Minor bugfixes:
- Require that onion keys have exponent 65537 in microdescriptors too.
Fixes more of bug 3207; bugfix on 0.2.2.26-beta.
- Tor used to limit HttpProxyAuthenticator values to 48 characters.
Changed the limit to 512 characters by removing base64 newlines.
Fixes bug 2752. Fix by Michael Yakubovich.
- When a client starts or stops using bridges, never use a circuit
that was built before the configuration change. This behavior could
put at risk a user who uses bridges to ensure that her traffic
only goes to the chosen addresses. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes
bug 3200.

Changes in version 0.2.2.26-beta - 2011-05-17
Tor 0.2.2.26-beta fixes a variety of potential privacy problems. It
also introduces a new "socksport auto" approach that should make it
easier to run multiple Tors on the same system, and does a lot of
cleanup to get us closer to a release candidate.
o Security/privacy fixes:
- Replace all potentially sensitive memory comparison operations
with versions whose runtime does not depend on the data being
compared. This will help resist a class of attacks where an
adversary can use variations in timing information to learn
sensitive data. Fix for one case of bug 3122. (Safe memcmp
implementation by Robert Ransom based partially on code by DJB.)
- When receiving a hidden service descriptor, check that it is for
the hidden service we wanted. Previously, Tor would store any
hidden service descriptors that a directory gave it, whether it
wanted them or not. This wouldn't have let an attacker impersonate
a hidden service, but it did let directories pre-seed a client
with descriptors that it didn't want. Bugfix on 0.0.6.
- On SIGHUP, do not clear out all TrackHostExits mappings, client
DNS cache entries, and virtual address mappings: that's what
NEWNYM is for. Fixes bug 1345; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Major features:
- The options SocksPort, ControlPort, and so on now all accept a
value "auto" that opens a socket on an OS-selected port. A
new ControlPortWriteToFile option tells Tor to write its
actual control port or ports to a chosen file. If the option
ControlPortFileGroupReadable is set, the file is created as
group-readable. Now users can run two Tor clients on the same
system without needing to manually mess with parameters. Resolves
part of ticket 3076.
- Set SO_REUSEADDR on all sockets, not just listeners. This should
help busy exit nodes avoid running out of useable ports just
because all the ports have been used in the near past. Resolves
issue 2850.
o Minor features:
- New "GETINFO net/listeners/(type)" controller command to return
a list of addresses and ports that are bound for listeners for a
given connection type. This is useful when the user has configured
"SocksPort auto" and the controller needs to know which port got
chosen. Resolves another part of ticket 3076.
- Add a new ControlSocketsGroupWritable configuration option: when
it is turned on, ControlSockets are group-writeable by the default
group of the current user. Patch by Jérémy Bobbio; implements
ticket 2972.
- Tor now refuses to create a ControlSocket in a directory that is
world-readable (or group-readable if ControlSocketsGroupWritable
is 0). This is necessary because some operating systems do not
enforce permissions on an AF_UNIX sockets. Permissions on the
directory holding the socket, however, seems to work everywhere.
- Rate-limit a warning about failures to download v2 networkstatus
documents. Resolves part of bug 1352.
- Backport code from 0.2.3.x that allows directory authorities to
clean their microdescriptor caches. Needed to resolve bug 2230.
- When an HTTPS proxy reports "403 Forbidden", we now explain
what it means rather than calling it an unexpected status code.
Closes bug 2503. Patch from Michael Yakubovich.
- Update to the May 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Authorities now clean their microdesc cache periodically and when
reading from disk initially, not only when adding new descriptors.
This prevents a bug where we could lose microdescriptors. Bugfix
reach back in time and correct two changelog entries
2011-08-01 21:53:13 +02:00
on 0.2.2.6-alpha. Fixes bug 2230.
copy the 0.2.2.26-beta changelog to master too
2011-05-18 03:26:13 +02:00
- Do not crash when our configuration file becomes unreadable, for
example due to a permissions change, between when we start up
and when a controller calls SAVECONF. Fixes bug 3135; bugfix
on 0.0.9pre6.
- Avoid a bug that would keep us from replacing a microdescriptor
cache on Windows. (We would try to replace the file while still
holding it open. That's fine on Unix, but Windows doesn't let us
do that.) Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; bug found by wanoskarnet.
- Add missing explanations for the authority-related torrc options
RephistTrackTime, BridgePassword, and V3AuthUseLegacyKey in the
man page. Resolves issue 2379.
- As an authority, do not upload our own vote or signature set to
ourself. It would tell us nothing new, and as of 0.2.2.24-alpha,
it would get flagged as a duplicate. Resolves bug 3026.
- Accept hidden service descriptors if we think we might be a hidden
service directory, regardless of what our consensus says. This
helps robustness, since clients and hidden services can sometimes
have a more up-to-date view of the network consensus than we do,
and if they think that the directory authorities list us a HSDir,
we might actually be one. Related to bug 2732; bugfix on
0.2.0.10-alpha.
- When a controller changes TrackHostExits, remove mappings for
hosts that should no longer have their exits tracked. Bugfix on
0.1.0.1-rc.
- When a controller changes VirtualAddrNetwork, remove any mappings
for hosts that were automapped to the old network. Bugfix on
0.1.1.19-rc.
- When a controller changes one of the AutomapHosts* options, remove
any mappings for hosts that should no longer be automapped. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Do not reset the bridge descriptor download status every time we
re-parse our configuration or get a configuration change. Fixes
bug 3019; bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (code cleanup):
- When loading the microdesc journal, remember its current size.
In 0.2.2, this helps prevent the microdesc journal from growing
without limit on authorities (who are the only ones to use it in
0.2.2). Fixes a part of bug 2230; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
Fix posted by "cypherpunks."
- The microdesc journal is supposed to get rebuilt only if it is
at least _half_ the length of the store, not _twice_ the length
of the store. Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; fixes part of bug 2230.
- Fix a potential null-pointer dereference while computing a
minor changelog cleanups to help the new alpha
2016-03-28 19:20:51 +02:00

2011-05-18 03:26:13 +02:00
clang's analyzer.
- Avoid a possible null-pointer dereference when rebuilding the mdesc
cache without actually having any descriptors to cache. Bugfix on
0.2.2.6-alpha. Issue discovered using clang's static analyzer.
- If we fail to compute the identity digest of a v3 legacy keypair,
warn, and don't use a buffer-full of junk instead. Bugfix on
0.2.1.1-alpha; fixes bug 3106.
- Resolve an untriggerable issue in smartlist_string_num_isin(),
where if the function had ever in the future been used to check
for the presence of a too-large number, it would have given an
incorrect result. (Fortunately, we only used it for 16-bit
values.) Fixes bug 3175; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Require that introduction point keys and onion handshake keys
have a public exponent of 65537. Starts to fix bug 3207; bugfix
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Removed features:
- Caches no longer download and serve v2 networkstatus documents
unless FetchV2Networkstatus flag is set: these documents haven't
haven't been used by clients or relays since 0.2.0.x. Resolves
bug 3022.
put the changelog stanzas in time order
2011-06-05 07:45:42 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.3.1-alpha - 2011-05-05
Tor 0.2.3.1-alpha adds some new experimental features, including support
for an improved network IO backend, IOCP networking on Windows,
microdescriptor caching, "fast-start" support for streams, and automatic
home router configuration. There are also numerous internal improvements
to try to make the code easier for developers to work with.
This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to be
bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should
stay with 0.2.2.x for now.
o Major features:
- Tor can now optionally build with the "bufferevents" buffered IO
backend provided by Libevent 2. To use this feature, make sure you
have the latest possible version of Libevent, and pass the
--enable-bufferevents flag to configure when building Tor from
source. This feature will make our networking code more flexible,
let us stack layers on each other, and let us use more efficient
zero-copy transports where available.
- As an experimental feature, Tor can use IOCP for networking on Windows.
Once this code is tuned and optimized, it promises much better
performance than the select-based backend we've used in the past. To
try this feature, you must build Tor with Libevent 2, configure Tor
with the "bufferevents" buffered IO backend, and add "DisableIOCP 0" to
your torrc. There are known bugs here: only try this if you can help
debug it as it breaks.
- The EntryNodes option can now include country codes like {de} or IP
addresses or network masks. Previously we had disallowed these options
because we didn't have an efficient way to keep the list up to
date. Fixes bug 1982, but see bug 2798 for an unresolved issue here.
- Exit nodes now accept and queue data on not-yet-connected streams.
Previously, the client wasn't allowed to send data until the stream was
connected, which slowed down all connections. This change will enable
clients to perform a "fast-start" on streams and send data without
having to wait for a confirmation that the stream has opened. (Patch
from Ian Goldberg; implements the server side of Proposal 174.)
- Tor now has initial support for automatic port mapping on the many
home routers that support NAT-PMP or UPnP. (Not yet supported on
Windows). To build the support code, you'll need to have libnatpnp
library and/or the libminiupnpc library, and you'll need to enable the
feature specifically by passing "--enable-upnp" and/or
"--enable-natpnp" to configure. To turn it on, use the new
PortForwarding option.
- Caches now download, cache, and serve multiple "flavors" of the
consensus, including a flavor that describes microdescriptors.
- Caches now download, cache, and serve microdescriptors -- small
summaries of router descriptors that are authenticated by all of the
directory authorities. Once enough caches are running this code,
clients will be able to save significant amounts of directory bandwidth
by downloading microdescriptors instead of router descriptors.
o Minor features:
reach back in time and name a config option correctly
2011-06-24 05:54:34 +02:00
- Make logging resolution configurable with a new LogTimeGranularity
option, and change the default from 1 millisecond to 1 second.
Implements enhancement 1668.

2011-06-05 07:45:42 +02:00
- We log which torrc file we're using on startup. Implements ticket
2444.
- Ordinarily, Tor does not count traffic from private addresses (like
127.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.1) when calculating rate limits or accounting.
There is now a new option, CountPrivateBandwidth, to disable this
behavior. Patch from Daniel Cagara.
- New --enable-static-tor configure option for building Tor as
statically as possible. Idea, general hackery and thoughts from
Alexei Czeskis, John Gilmore, Jacob Appelbaum. Implements ticket
2702.
- If you set the NumCPUs option to 0, Tor will now try to detect how
many CPUs you have. This is the new default behavior.
- Turn on directory request statistics by default and include them in
extra-info descriptors. Don't break if we have no GeoIP database.
- Relays that set "ConnDirectionStatistics 1" write statistics on the
bidirectional use of connections to disk every 24 hours.
- Add a GeoIP file digest to the extra-info descriptor. Implements
enhancement 1883.
Move errant doc/nodefamily_routerset into 0.2.3.1-alpha ChangeLog. Fix bug 3373
2011-06-10 07:04:12 +02:00
- The NodeFamily option -- which let you declare that you want to
consider nodes to be part of a family whether they list themselves
that way or not -- now allows IP address ranges and country codes.
put the changelog stanzas in time order
2011-06-05 07:45:42 +02:00
- Add a new 'Heartbeat' log message type to periodically log a message
describing Tor's status at level Notice. This feature is meant for
operators who log at notice, and want to make sure that their Tor
server is still working. Implementation by George Kadianakis.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.25-alpha):
- When loading the microdesc journal, remember its current size.
In 0.2.2, this helps prevent the microdesc journal from growing
without limit on authorities (who are the only ones to use it in
0.2.2). Fixes a part of bug 2230; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
Fix posted by "cypherpunks."
- The microdesc journal is supposed to get rebuilt only if it is
at least _half_ the length of the store, not _twice_ the length
of the store. Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; fixes part of bug 2230.
- If as an authority we fail to compute the identity digest of a v3
legacy keypair, warn, and don't use a buffer-full of junk instead.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha; fixes bug 3106.
- Authorities now clean their microdesc cache periodically and when
reading from disk initially, not only when adding new descriptors.
This prevents a bug where we could lose microdescriptors. Bugfix
on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add a new SIGNAL event to the controller interface so that
controllers can be notified when Tor handles a signal. Resolves
issue 1955. Patch by John Brooks.
- Add a new GETINFO option to get total bytes read and written. Patch
from pipe, revised by atagar. Resolves ticket 2345.
- Implement some GETINFO controller fields to provide information about
the Tor process's pid, euid, username, and resource limits.
o Build changes:
- Our build system requires automake 1.6 or later to create the
Makefile.in files. Previously, you could have used 1.4.
This only affects developers and people building Tor from git;
people who build Tor from the source distribution without changing
the Makefile.am files should be fine.
- Our autogen.sh script uses autoreconf to launch autoconf, automake, and
so on. This is more robust against some of the failure modes
associated with running the autotools pieces on their own.
o Minor packaging issues:
- On OpenSUSE, create the /var/run/tor directory on startup if it is not
already created. Patch from Andreas Stieger. Fixes bug 2573.
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- A major revision to our internal node-selecting and listing logic.
Tor already had at least two major ways to look at the question of
"which Tor servers do we know about": a list of router descriptors,
and a list of entries in the current consensus. With
microdescriptors, we're adding a third. Having so many systems
without an abstraction layer over them was hurting the codebase.
Now, we have a new "node_t" abstraction that presents a consistent
interface to a client's view of a Tor node, and holds (nearly) all
of the mutable state formerly in routerinfo_t and routerstatus_t.
- The helper programs tor-gencert, tor-resolve, and tor-checkkey
no longer link against Libevent: they never used it, but
our library structure used to force them to link it.
o Removed features:
- Remove some old code to work around even older versions of Tor that
used forked processes to handle DNS requests. Such versions of Tor
are no longer in use as servers.
o Documentation fixes:
- Correct a broken faq link in the INSTALL file. Fixes bug 2307.
- Add missing documentation for the authority-related torrc options
RephistTrackTime, BridgePassword, and V3AuthUseLegacyKey. Resolves
issue 2379.
Add 0.2.2.25-alpha changelog on master
2011-04-29 05:31:42 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.25-alpha - 2011-04-29
Tor 0.2.2.25-alpha fixes many bugs: hidden service clients are more
robust, routers no longer overreport their bandwidth, Win7 should crash
a little less, and NEWNYM (as used by Vidalia's "new identity" button)
now prevents hidden service-related activity from being linkable. It
provides more information to Vidalia so you can see if your bridge is
working. Also, 0.2.2.25-alpha revamps the Entry/Exit/ExcludeNodes and
StrictNodes configuration options to make them more reliable, more
understandable, and more regularly applied. If you use those options,
please see the revised documentation for them in the manual page.
o Major bugfixes:
- Relays were publishing grossly inflated bandwidth values because
they were writing their state files wrong--now they write the
correct value. Also, resume reading bandwidth history from the
state file correctly. Fixes bug 2704; bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
- Improve hidden service robustness: When we find that we have
extended a hidden service's introduction circuit to a relay not
listed as an introduction point in the HS descriptor we currently
have, retry with an introduction point from the current
descriptor. Previously we would just give up. Fixes bugs 1024 and
1930; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Clients now stop trying to use an exit node associated with a given
destination by TrackHostExits if they fail to reach that exit node.
Fixes bug 2999. Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.
- Fix crash bug on platforms where gmtime and localtime can return
NULL. Windows 7 users were running into this one. Fixes part of bug
2077. Bugfix on all versions of Tor. Found by boboper.
o Security and stability fixes:
- Don't double-free a parsable, but invalid, microdescriptor, even if
it is followed in the blob we're parsing by an unparsable
microdescriptor. Fixes an issue reported in a comment on bug 2954.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha; fix by "cypherpunks".
- If the Nickname configuration option isn't given, Tor would pick a
nickname based on the local hostname as the nickname for a relay.
Because nicknames are not very important in today's Tor and the
"Unnamed" nickname has been implemented, this is now problematic
behavior: It leaks information about the hostname without being
useful at all. Fixes bug 2979; bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha, which
introduced the Unnamed nickname. Reported by tagnaq.
- Fix an uncommon assertion failure when running with DNSPort under
heavy load. Fixes bug 2933; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Avoid linkability based on cached hidden service descriptors: forget
all hidden service descriptors cached as a client when processing a
SIGNAL NEWNYM command. Fixes bug 3000; bugfix on 0.0.6.
o Major features:
- Export GeoIP information on bridge usage to controllers even if we
have not yet been running for 24 hours. Now Vidalia bridge operators
can get more accurate and immediate feedback about their
contributions to the network.
o Major features and bugfixes (node selection):
- Revise and reconcile the meaning of the ExitNodes, EntryNodes,
ExcludeEntryNodes, ExcludeExitNodes, ExcludeNodes, and StrictNodes
options. Previously, we had been ambiguous in describing what
counted as an "exit" node, and what operations exactly "StrictNodes
0" would permit. This created confusion when people saw nodes built
through unexpected circuits, and made it hard to tell real bugs from
surprises. Now the intended behavior is:
. "Exit", in the context of ExitNodes and ExcludeExitNodes, means
a node that delivers user traffic outside the Tor network.
. "Entry", in the context of EntryNodes, means a node used as the
first hop of a multihop circuit. It doesn't include direct
connections to directory servers.
. "ExcludeNodes" applies to all nodes.
. "StrictNodes" changes the behavior of ExcludeNodes only. When
StrictNodes is set, Tor should avoid all nodes listed in
ExcludeNodes, even when it will make user requests fail. When
StrictNodes is *not* set, then Tor should follow ExcludeNodes
whenever it can, except when it must use an excluded node to
perform self-tests, connect to a hidden service, provide a
hidden service, fulfill a .exit request, upload directory
information, or fetch directory information.
Collectively, the changes to implement the behavior fix bug 1090.
- ExcludeNodes now takes precedence over EntryNodes and ExitNodes: if
a node is listed in both, it's treated as excluded.
- ExcludeNodes now applies to directory nodes -- as a preference if
StrictNodes is 0, or an absolute requirement if StrictNodes is 1.
Don't exclude all the directory authorities and set StrictNodes to 1
unless you really want your Tor to break.
- ExcludeNodes and ExcludeExitNodes now override exit enclaving.
- ExcludeExitNodes now overrides .exit requests.
- We don't use bridges listed in ExcludeNodes.
- When StrictNodes is 1:
. We now apply ExcludeNodes to hidden service introduction points
and to rendezvous points selected by hidden service users. This
can make your hidden service less reliable: use it with caution!
. If we have used ExcludeNodes on ourself, do not try relay
reachability self-tests.
. If we have excluded all the directory authorities, we will not
even try to upload our descriptor if we're a relay.
. Do not honor .exit requests to an excluded node.
- Remove a misfeature that caused us to ignore the Fast/Stable flags
when ExitNodes is set. Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
- When the set of permitted nodes changes, we now remove any mappings
introduced via TrackExitHosts to now-excluded nodes. Bugfix on
0.1.0.1-rc.
- We never cannibalize a circuit that had excluded nodes on it, even
if StrictNodes is 0. Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Revert a change where we would be laxer about attaching streams to
circuits than when building the circuits. This was meant to prevent
a set of bugs where streams were never attachable, but our improved
code here should make this unnecessary. Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
- Keep track of how many times we launch a new circuit to handle a
given stream. Too many launches could indicate an inconsistency
between our "launch a circuit to handle this stream" logic and our
"attach this stream to one of the available circuits" logic.
- Improve log messages related to excluded nodes.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a spurious warning when moving from a short month to a long
month on relays with month-based BandwidthAccounting. Bugfix on
0.2.2.17-alpha; fixes bug 3020.
- When a client finds that an origin circuit has run out of 16-bit
stream IDs, we now mark it as unusable for new streams. Previously,
we would try to close the entire circuit. Bugfix on 0.0.6.
- Add a forgotten cast that caused a compile warning on OS X 10.6.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.24-alpha.
- Be more careful about reporting the correct error from a failed
connect() system call. Under some circumstances, it was possible to
look at an incorrect value for errno when sending the end reason.
Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Correctly handle an "impossible" overflow cases in connection byte
counting, where we write or read more than 4GB on an edge connection
in a single second. Bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
- Correct the warning displayed when a rendezvous descriptor exceeds
the maximum size. Fixes bug 2750; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by
John Brooks.
- Clients and hidden services now use HSDir-flagged relays for hidden
service descriptor downloads and uploads even if the relays have no
DirPort set and the client has disabled TunnelDirConns. This will
eventually allow us to give the HSDir flag to relays with no
DirPort. Fixes bug 2722; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
- Downgrade "no current certificates known for authority" message from
Notice to Info. Fixes bug 2899; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Make the SIGNAL DUMP control-port command work on FreeBSD. Fixes bug
2917. Bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha.
- Only limit the lengths of single HS descriptors, even when multiple
HS descriptors are published to an HSDir relay in a single POST
operation. Fixes bug 2948; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. Found by hsdir.
- Write the current time into the LastWritten line in our state file,
rather than the time from the previous write attempt. Also, stop
trying to use a time of -1 in our log statements. Fixes bug 3039;
bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha.
- Be more consistent in our treatment of file system paths. "~" should
get expanded to the user's home directory in the Log config option.
Fixes bug 2971; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha, which introduced the
feature for the -f and --DataDirectory options.
o Minor features:
- Make sure every relay writes a state file at least every 12 hours.
Previously, a relay could go for weeks without writing its state
file, and on a crash could lose its bandwidth history, capacity
estimates, client country statistics, and so on. Addresses bug 3012.
- Send END_STREAM_REASON_NOROUTE in response to EHOSTUNREACH errors.
Clients before 0.2.1.27 didn't handle NOROUTE correctly, but such
clients are already deprecated because of security bugs.
- Don't allow v0 hidden service authorities to act as clients.
Required by fix for bug 3000.
- Ignore SIGNAL NEWNYM commands on relay-only Tor instances. Required
by fix for bug 3000.
- Ensure that no empty [dirreq-](read|write)-history lines are added
to an extrainfo document. Implements ticket 2497.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- Remove workaround code to handle directory responses from servers
that had bug 539 (they would send HTTP status 503 responses _and_
send a body too). Since only server versions before
0.2.0.16-alpha/0.1.2.19 were affected, there is no longer reason to
keep the workaround in place.
- Remove the old 'fuzzy time' logic. It was supposed to be used for
handling calculations where we have a known amount of clock skew and
an allowed amount of unknown skew. But we only used it in three
places, and we never adjusted the known/unknown skew values. This is
still something we might want to do someday, but if we do, we'll
want to do it differently.
- Avoid signed/unsigned comparisons by making SIZE_T_CEILING unsigned.
None of the cases where we did this before were wrong, but by making
this change we avoid warnings. Fixes bug 2475; bugfix on 0.2.1.28.
- Use GetTempDir to find the proper temporary directory location on
Windows when generating temporary files for the unit tests. Patch by
Gisle Vanem.

2011-04-12 05:26:27 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.24-alpha - 2011-04-08
Tor 0.2.2.24-alpha fixes a variety of bugs, including a big bug that
prevented Tor clients from effectively using "multihomed" bridges,
that is, bridges that listen on multiple ports or IP addresses so users
can continue to use some of their addresses even if others get blocked.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bug where bridge users who configure the non-canonical
address of a bridge automatically switch to its canonical
address. If a bridge listens at more than one address, it should be
able to advertise those addresses independently and any non-blocked
addresses should continue to work. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.x. Fixes
bug 2510.
- If you configured Tor to use bridge A, and then quit and
configured Tor to use bridge B instead, it would happily continue
to use bridge A if it's still reachable. While this behavior is
a feature if your goal is connectivity, in some scenarios it's a
dangerous bug. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 2511.
- Directory authorities now use data collected from their own
uptime observations when choosing whether to assign the HSDir flag
to relays, instead of trusting the uptime value the relay reports in
its descriptor. This change helps prevent an attack where a small
set of nodes with frequently-changing identity keys can blackhole
a hidden service. (Only authorities need upgrade; others will be
fine once they do.) Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha; fixes bug 2709.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When we restart our relay, we might get a successful connection
from the outside before we've started our reachability tests,
triggering a warning: "ORPort found reachable, but I have no
routerinfo yet. Failing to inform controller of success." This
bug was harmless unless Tor is running under a controller
like Vidalia, in which case the controller would never get a
REACHABILITY_SUCCEEDED status event. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha;
fixes bug 1172.
- Make directory authorities more accurate at recording when
relays that have failed several reachability tests became
unreachable, so we can provide more accuracy at assigning Stable,
Guard, HSDir, etc flags. Bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha. Resolves bug 2716.
- Fix an issue that prevented static linking of libevent on
some platforms (notably Linux). Fixes bug 2698; bugfix on
versions 0.2.1.23/0.2.2.8-alpha (the versions introducing
the --with-static-libevent configure option).
- We now ask the other side of a stream (the client or the exit)
for more data on that stream when the amount of queued data on
that stream dips low enough. Previously, we wouldn't ask the
other side for more data until either it sent us more data (which
it wasn't supposed to do if it had exhausted its window!) or we
had completely flushed all our queued data. This flow control fix
should improve throughput. Fixes bug 2756; bugfix on the earliest
released versions of Tor (svn commit r152).
- Avoid a double-mark-for-free warning when failing to attach a
transparent proxy connection. (We thought we had fixed this in
0.2.2.23-alpha, but it turns out our fix was checking the wrong
connection.) Fixes bug 2757; bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha (the original
bug) and 0.2.2.23-alpha (the incorrect fix).
- When warning about missing zlib development packages during compile,
give the correct package names. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Directory authorities now log the source of a rejected POSTed v3
networkstatus vote.
- Make compilation with clang possible when using
manually forward-port 2871dd8bef
2011-08-25 21:51:24 +02:00
--enable-gcc-warnings by removing two warning options that clang
forward-port the 0.2.2.24-alpha changelog
2011-04-12 05:26:27 +02:00
hasn't implemented yet and by fixing a few warnings. Implements
ticket 2696.
- When expiring circuits, use microsecond timers rather than
one-second timers. This can avoid an unpleasant situation where a
circuit is launched near the end of one second and expired right
near the beginning of the next, and prevent fluctuations in circuit
timeout values.
- Use computed circuit-build timeouts to decide when to launch
parallel introduction circuits for hidden services. (Previously,
we would retry after 15 seconds.)
- Update to the April 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Packaging fixes:
- Create the /var/run/tor directory on startup on OpenSUSE if it is
not already created. Patch from Andreas Stieger. Fixes bug 2573.
o Documentation changes:
- Modernize the doxygen configuration file slightly. Fixes bug 2707.
- Resolve all doxygen warnings except those for missing documentation.
Fixes bug 2705.
- Add doxygen documentation for more functions, fields, and types.

2011-03-09 00:59:48 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.23-alpha - 2011-03-08
Tor 0.2.2.23-alpha lets relays record their bandwidth history so when
they restart they don't lose their bandwidth capacity estimate. This
release also fixes a diverse set of user-facing bugs, ranging from
relays overrunning their rate limiting to clients falsely warning about
clock skew to bridge descriptor leaks by our bridge directory authority.
o Major bugfixes:
- Stop sending a CLOCK_SKEW controller status event whenever
we fetch directory information from a relay that has a wrong clock.
Instead, only inform the controller when it's a trusted authority
that claims our clock is wrong. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha; fixes
the rest of bug 1074.
- Fix an assert in parsing router descriptors containing IPv6
addresses. This one took down the directory authorities when
somebody tried some experimental code. Bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
- Make the bridge directory authority refuse to answer directory
requests for "all" descriptors. It used to include bridge
descriptors in its answer, which was a major information leak.
Found by "piebeer". Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- If relays set RelayBandwidthBurst but not RelayBandwidthRate,
Tor would ignore their RelayBandwidthBurst setting,
potentially using more bandwidth than expected. Bugfix on
0.2.0.1-alpha. Reported by Paul Wouters. Fixes bug 2470.
- Ignore and warn if the user mistakenly sets "PublishServerDescriptor
hidserv" in her torrc. The 'hidserv' argument never controlled
publication of hidden service descriptors. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Major features:
- Relays now save observed peak bandwidth throughput rates to their
state file (along with total usage, which was already saved)
so that they can determine their correct estimated bandwidth on
restart. Resolves bug 1863, where Tor relays would reset their
estimated bandwidth to 0 after restarting.
- Directory authorities now take changes in router IP address and
ORPort into account when determining router stability. Previously,
if a router changed its IP or ORPort, the authorities would not
treat it as having any downtime for the purposes of stability
calculation, whereas clients would experience downtime since the
change could take a while to propagate to them. Resolves issue 1035.
- Enable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution
Prevention (DEP) by default on Windows to make it harder for
attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. Patch from John Brooks.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.1.x and earlier):
- Fix a rare crash bug that could occur when a client was configured
with a large number of bridges. Fixes bug 2629; bugfix on
0.2.1.2-alpha. Bugfix by trac user "shitlei".
- Avoid a double mark-for-free warning when failing to attach a
transparent proxy connection. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha. Fixes
bug 2279.
- Correctly detect failure to allocate an OpenSSL BIO. Fixes bug 2378;
found by "cypherpunks". This bug was introduced before the first
Tor release, in svn commit r110.
- Country codes aren't supported in EntryNodes until 0.2.3.x, so
don't mention them in the manpage. Fixes bug 2450; issue
spotted by keb and G-Lo.
- Fix a bug in bandwidth history state parsing that could have been
triggered if a future version of Tor ever changed the timing
granularity at which bandwidth history is measured. Bugfix on
Tor 0.1.1.11-alpha.
- When a relay decides that its DNS is too broken for it to serve
as an exit server, it advertised itself as a non-exit, but
continued to act as an exit. This could create accidental
partitioning opportunities for users. Instead, if a relay is
going to advertise reject *:* as its exit policy, it should
really act with exit policy "reject *:*". Fixes bug 2366.
Bugfix on Tor 0.1.2.5-alpha. Bugfix by user "postman" on trac.
- In the special case where you configure a public exit relay as your
bridge, Tor would be willing to use that exit relay as the last
hop in your circuit as well. Now we fail that circuit instead.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.12-alpha. Fixes bug 2403. Reported by "piebeer".
- Fix a bug with our locking implementation on Windows that couldn't
correctly detect when a file was already locked. Fixes bug 2504,
bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
- Fix IPv6-related connect() failures on some platforms (BSD, OS X).
Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes first part of bug 2660. Patch by
"piebeer".
- Set target port in get_interface_address6() correctly. Bugfix
on 0.1.1.4-alpha and 0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes second part of bug 2660.
- Directory authorities are now more robust to hops back in time
when calculating router stability. Previously, if a run of uptime
or downtime appeared to be negative, the calculation could give
incorrect results. Bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha; noticed when fixing
bug 1035.
- Fix an assert that got triggered when using the TestingTorNetwork
configuration option and then issuing a GETINFO config-text control
command. Fixes bug 2250; bugfix on 0.2.1.2-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x):
- Clients should not weight BadExit nodes as Exits in their node
selection. Similarly, directory authorities should not count BadExit
bandwidth as Exit bandwidth when computing bandwidth-weights.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha; fixes bug 2203.
- Correctly clear our dir_read/dir_write history when there is an
error parsing any bw history value from the state file. Bugfix on
Tor 0.2.2.15-alpha.
- Resolve a bug in verifying signatures of directory objects
with digests longer than SHA1. Bugfix on 0.2.2.20-alpha.
Fixes bug 2409. Found by "piebeer".
- Bridge authorities no longer crash on SIGHUP when they try to
publish their relay descriptor to themselves. Fixes bug 2572. Bugfix
on 0.2.2.22-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Log less aggressively about circuit timeout changes, and improve
some other circuit timeout messages. Resolves bug 2004.
- Log a little more clearly about the times at which we're no longer
accepting new connections. Resolves bug 2181.
- Reject attempts at the client side to open connections to private
IP addresses (like 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.1, and so on) with
a randomly chosen exit node. Attempts to do so are always
ill-defined, generally prevented by exit policies, and usually
in error. This will also help to detect loops in transparent
proxy configurations. You can disable this feature by setting
"ClientRejectInternalAddresses 0" in your torrc.
- Always treat failure to allocate an RSA key as an unrecoverable
allocation error.
- Update to the March 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor features (log subsystem):
- Add documentation for configuring logging at different severities in
different log domains. We've had this feature since 0.2.1.1-alpha,
but for some reason it never made it into the manpage. Fixes
bug 2215.
- Make it simpler to specify "All log domains except for A and B".
Previously you needed to say "[*,~A,~B]". Now you can just say
"[~A,~B]".
- Add a "LogMessageDomains 1" option to include the domains of log
messages along with the messages. Without this, there's no way
to use log domains without reading the source or doing a lot
of guessing.
o Packaging changes:
- Stop shipping the Tor specs files and development proposal documents
in the tarball. They are now in a separate git repository at
git://git.torproject.org/torspec.git
put the 0.2.1.30 stanza in the master changelog too
2011-08-01 22:14:17 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.1.30 - 2011-02-23
Tor 0.2.1.30 fixes a variety of less critical bugs. The main other
change is a slight tweak to Tor's TLS handshake that makes relays
and bridges that run this new version reachable from Iran again.
We don't expect this tweak will win the arms race long-term, but it
buys us time until we roll out a better solution.
o Major bugfixes:
- Stop sending a CLOCK_SKEW controller status event whenever
we fetch directory information from a relay that has a wrong clock.
Instead, only inform the controller when it's a trusted authority
that claims our clock is wrong. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha; fixes
the rest of bug 1074.
- Fix a bounds-checking error that could allow an attacker to
remotely crash a directory authority. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Found by "piebeer".
- If relays set RelayBandwidthBurst but not RelayBandwidthRate,
Tor would ignore their RelayBandwidthBurst setting,
potentially using more bandwidth than expected. Bugfix on
0.2.0.1-alpha. Reported by Paul Wouters. Fixes bug 2470.
- Ignore and warn if the user mistakenly sets "PublishServerDescriptor
hidserv" in her torrc. The 'hidserv' argument never controlled
publication of hidden service descriptors. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Adjust our TLS Diffie-Hellman parameters to match those used by
Apache's mod_ssl.
- Update to the February 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Check for and reject overly long directory certificates and
directory tokens before they have a chance to hit any assertions.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.28. Found by "doorss".
- Bring the logic that gathers routerinfos and assesses the
acceptability of circuits into line. This prevents a Tor OP from
getting locked in a cycle of choosing its local OR as an exit for a
path (due to a .exit request) and then rejecting the circuit because
its OR is not listed yet. It also prevents Tor clients from using an
OR running in the same instance as an exit (due to a .exit request)
if the OR does not meet the same requirements expected of an OR
running elsewhere. Fixes bug 1859; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Packaging changes:
- Stop shipping the Tor specs files and development proposal documents
in the tarball. They are now in a separate git repository at
git://git.torproject.org/torspec.git
- Do not include Git version tags as though they are SVN tags when
generating a tarball from inside a repository that has switched
between branches. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc; fixes bug 2402.

2011-02-08 04:29:19 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.22-alpha - 2011-01-25
Tor 0.2.2.22-alpha fixes a few more less-critical security issues. The
main other change is a slight tweak to Tor's TLS handshake that makes
relays and bridges that run this new version reachable from Iran again.
We don't expect this tweak will win the arms race long-term, but it
will buy us a bit more time until we roll out a better solution.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a bounds-checking error that could allow an attacker to
remotely crash a directory authority. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Found by "piebeer".
- Don't assert when changing from bridge to relay or vice versa
via the controller. The assert happened because we didn't properly
initialize our keys in this case. Bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha; fixes
bug 2433. Reported by bastik.
o Minor features:
- Adjust our TLS Diffie-Hellman parameters to match those used by
Apache's mod_ssl.
- Provide a log message stating which geoip file we're parsing
instead of just stating that we're parsing the geoip file.
Implements ticket 2432.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Check for and reject overly long directory certificates and
directory tokens before they have a chance to hit any assertions.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.28 / 0.2.2.20-alpha. Found by "doorss".
some changelog entries for master too
2011-01-16 02:59:25 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.21-alpha - 2011-01-15
Tor 0.2.2.21-alpha includes all the patches from Tor 0.2.1.29, which
continues our recent code security audit work. The main fix resolves
a remote heap overflow vulnerability that can allow remote code
execution (CVE-2011-0427). Other fixes address a variety of assert
and crash bugs, most of which we think are hard to exploit remotely.
o Major bugfixes (security), also included in 0.2.1.29:
- Fix a heap overflow bug where an adversary could cause heap
corruption. This bug probably allows remote code execution
attacks. Reported by "debuger". Fixes CVE-2011-0427. Bugfix on
0.1.2.10-rc.
- Prevent a denial-of-service attack by disallowing any
zlib-compressed data whose compression factor is implausibly
high. Fixes part of bug 2324; reported by "doorss".
- Zero out a few more keys in memory before freeing them. Fixes
bug 2384 and part of bug 2385. These key instances found by
"cypherpunks", based on Andrew Case's report about being able
to find sensitive data in Tor's memory space if you have enough
permissions. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre9.
o Major bugfixes (crashes), also included in 0.2.1.29:
- Prevent calls to Libevent from inside Libevent log handlers.
This had potential to cause a nasty set of crashes, especially
if running Libevent with debug logging enabled, and running
Tor with a controller watching for low-severity log messages.
Bugfix on 0.1.0.2-rc. Fixes bug 2190.
- Add a check for SIZE_T_MAX to tor_realloc() to try to avoid
underflow errors there too. Fixes the other part of bug 2324.
- Fix a bug where we would assert if we ever had a
cached-descriptors.new file (or another file read directly into
memory) of exactly SIZE_T_CEILING bytes. Fixes bug 2326; bugfix
on 0.2.1.25. Found by doorss.
- Fix some potential asserts and parsing issues with grossly
malformed router caches. Fixes bug 2352; bugfix on Tor 0.2.1.27.
Found by doorss.
o Minor bugfixes (other), also included in 0.2.1.29:
- Fix a bug with handling misformed replies to reverse DNS lookup
requests in DNSPort. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.1-alpha. Related to a
bug reported by doorss.
- Fix compilation on mingw when a pthreads compatibility library
has been installed. (We don't want to use it, so we shouldn't
be including pthread.h.) Fixes bug 2313; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
- Fix a bug where we would declare that we had run out of virtual
addresses when the address space was only half-exhausted. Bugfix
on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
- Correctly handle the case where AutomapHostsOnResolve is set but
no virtual addresses are available. Fixes bug 2328; bugfix on
0.1.2.1-alpha. Bug found by doorss.
fix 0.2.2 changelog to match 0.2.1
2011-01-19 01:14:14 +01:00
- Correctly handle wrapping around when we run out of virtual
address space. Found by cypherpunks; bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
some changelog entries for master too
2011-01-16 02:59:25 +01:00
o Minor features, also included in 0.2.1.29:
- Update to the January 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
- Introduce output size checks on all of our decryption functions.
o Build changes, also included in 0.2.1.29:
- Tor does not build packages correctly with Automake 1.6 and earlier;
added a check to Makefile.am to make sure that we're building with
Automake 1.7 or later.
fix 0.2.2 changelog to match 0.2.1
2011-01-19 01:14:14 +01:00
- The 0.2.1.28 tarball was missing src/common/OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c
because we built it with a too-old version of automake. Thus that
release broke ./configure --enable-openbsd-malloc, which is popular
among really fast exit relays on Linux.

forward-port that part of the changelog
2011-01-16 04:42:14 +01:00
o Major bugfixes, new in 0.2.2.21-alpha:
- Prevent crash/heap corruption when the cbtnummodes consensus
parameter is set to 0 or large values. Fixes bug 2317; bugfix
on 0.2.2.14-alpha.
o Major features, new in 0.2.2.21-alpha:
- Introduce minimum/maximum values that clients will believe
from the consensus. Now we'll have a better chance to avoid crashes
or worse when a consensus param has a weird value.
some changelog entries for master too
2011-01-16 02:59:25 +01:00
o Minor features, new in 0.2.2.21-alpha:
- Make sure to disable DirPort if running as a bridge. DirPorts aren't
used on bridges, and it makes bridge scanning somewhat easier.
- If writing the state file to disk fails, wait up to an hour before
retrying again, rather than trying again each second. Fixes bug
2346; bugfix on Tor 0.1.1.3-alpha.
- Make Libevent log messages get delivered to controllers later,
and not from inside the Libevent log handler. This prevents unsafe
reentrant Libevent calls while still letting the log messages
get through.
- Detect platforms that brokenly use a signed size_t, and refuse to
build there. Found and analyzed by doorss and rransom.
- Fix a bunch of compile warnings revealed by mingw with gcc 4.5.
Resolves bug 2314.
o Minor bugfixes, new in 0.2.2.21-alpha:
- Handle SOCKS messages longer than 128 bytes long correctly, rather
than waiting forever for them to finish. Fixes bug 2330; bugfix
on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Found by doorss.
- Add assertions to check for overflow in arguments to
base32_encode() and base32_decode(); fix a signed-unsigned
comparison there too. These bugs are not actually reachable in Tor,
but it's good to prevent future errors too. Found by doorss.
- Correctly detect failures to create DNS requests when using Libevent
versions before v2. (Before Libevent 2, we used our own evdns
implementation. Its return values for Libevent's evdns_resolve_*()
functions are not consistent with those from Libevent.) Fixes bug
2363; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha. Found by "lodger".
o Documentation, new in 0.2.2.21-alpha:
- Document the default socks host and port (127.0.0.1:9050) for
tor-resolve.

forward-port the two recent changelog entries
2010-12-20 13:49:22 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.2.20-alpha - 2010-12-17
Tor 0.2.2.20-alpha does some code cleanup to reduce the risk of remotely
exploitable bugs. We also fix a variety of other significant bugs,
change the IP address for one of our directory authorities, and update
the minimum version that Tor relays must run to join the network.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a remotely exploitable bug that could be used to crash instances
of Tor remotely by overflowing on the heap. Remote-code execution
hasn't been confirmed, but can't be ruled out. Everyone should
upgrade. Bugfix on the 0.1.1 series and later.
- Fix a bug that could break accounting on 64-bit systems with large
time_t values, making them hibernate for impossibly long intervals.
Fixes bug 2146. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre6; fix by boboper.
- Fix a logic error in directory_fetches_from_authorities() that
would cause all _non_-exits refusing single-hop-like circuits
to fetch from authorities, when we wanted to have _exits_ fetch
from authorities. Fixes more of 2097. Bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha;
fix by boboper.
- Fix a stream fairness bug that would cause newer streams on a given
circuit to get preference when reading bytes from the origin or
destination. Fixes bug 2210. Fix by Mashael AlSabah. This bug was
introduced before the first Tor release, in svn revision r152.
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address and ports for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid crashes when AccountingMax is set on clients. Fixes bug 2235.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha. Diagnosed by boboper.
- Fix an off-by-one error in calculating some controller command
argument lengths. Fortunately, this mistake is harmless since
the controller code does redundant NUL termination too. Found by
boboper. Bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha.
- Do not dereference NULL if a bridge fails to build its
extra-info descriptor. Found by an anonymous commenter on
Trac. Bugfix on 0.2.2.19-alpha.
o Minor features:
- Update to the December 1 2010 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
- Directory authorities now reject relays running any versions of
Tor between 0.2.1.3-alpha and 0.2.1.18 inclusive; they have
known bugs that keep RELAY_EARLY cells from working on rendezvous
circuits. Followup to fix for bug 2081.
- Directory authorities now reject relays running any version of Tor
older than 0.2.0.26-rc. That version is the earliest that fetches
current directory information correctly. Fixes bug 2156.
- Report only the top 10 ports in exit-port stats in order not to
exceed the maximum extra-info descriptor length of 50 KB. Implements
task 2196.
Changes in version 0.2.1.28 - 2010-12-17
Tor 0.2.1.28 does some code cleanup to reduce the risk of remotely
exploitable bugs. We also took this opportunity to change the IP address
for one of our directory authorities, and to update the geoip database
we ship.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a remotely exploitable bug that could be used to crash instances
of Tor remotely by overflowing on the heap. Remote-code execution
hasn't been confirmed, but can't be ruled out. Everyone should
upgrade. Bugfix on the 0.1.1 series and later.
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address and ports for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
o Minor features:
- Update to the December 1 2010 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.

Changes in version 0.2.1.27 - 2010-11-23
Yet another OpenSSL security patch broke its compatibility with Tor:
Tor 0.2.1.27 makes relays work with openssl 0.9.8p and 1.0.0.b. We
also took this opportunity to fix several crash bugs, integrate a new
directory authority, and update the bundled GeoIP database.
o Major bugfixes:
- Resolve an incompatibility with OpenSSL 0.9.8p and OpenSSL 1.0.0b:
No longer set the tlsext_host_name extension on server SSL objects;
but continue to set it on client SSL objects. Our goal in setting
it was to imitate a browser, not a vhosting server. Fixes bug 2204;
bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
- Do not log messages to the controller while shrinking buffer
freelists. Doing so would sometimes make the controller connection
try to allocate a buffer chunk, which would mess up the internals
of the freelist and cause an assertion failure. Fixes bug 1125;
fixed by Robert Ransom. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Learn our external IP address when we're a relay or bridge, even if
we set PublishServerDescriptor to 0. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha,
where we introduced bridge relays that don't need to publish to
be useful. Fixes bug 2050.
- Do even more to reject (and not just ignore) annotations on
router descriptors received anywhere but from the cache. Previously
we would ignore such annotations at first, but cache them to disk
anyway. Bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by piebeer.
- When you're using bridges and your network goes away and your
bridges get marked as down, recover when you attempt a new socks
connection (if the network is back), rather than waiting up to an
hour to try fetching new descriptors for your bridges. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes bug 1981.
o Major features:
- Move to the November 2010 Maxmind GeoLite country db (rather
than the June 2009 ip-to-country GeoIP db) for our statistics that
count how many users relays are seeing from each country. Now we'll
have more accurate data, especially for many African countries.
o New directory authorities:
- Set up maatuska (run by Linus Nordberg) as the eighth v3 directory
authority.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix an assertion failure that could occur in directory caches or
bridge users when using a very short voting interval on a testing
network. Diagnosed by Robert Hogan. Fixes bug 1141; bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha.
- Enforce multiplicity rules when parsing annotations. Bugfix on
0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by piebeer.
- Allow handshaking OR connections to take a full KeepalivePeriod
seconds to handshake. Previously, we would close them after
IDLE_OR_CONN_TIMEOUT (180) seconds, the same timeout as if they
were open. Bugfix on 0.2.1.26; fixes bug 1840. Thanks to mingw-san
for analysis help.
- When building with --enable-gcc-warnings on OpenBSD, disable
warnings in system headers. This makes --enable-gcc-warnings
pass on OpenBSD 4.8.
o Minor features:
- Exit nodes didn't recognize EHOSTUNREACH as a plausible error code,
and so sent back END_STREAM_REASON_MISC. Clients now recognize a new
stream ending reason for this case: END_STREAM_REASON_NOROUTE.
Servers can start sending this code when enough clients recognize
it. Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc; fixes part of bug 1793.
- Build correctly on mingw with more recent versions of OpenSSL 0.9.8.
Patch from mingw-san.
o Removed files:
- Remove the old debian/ directory from the main Tor distribution.
The official Tor-for-debian git repository lives at the URL
https://git.torproject.org/debian/tor.git
- Stop shipping the old doc/website/ directory in the tarball. We
changed the website format in late 2010, and what we shipped in
0.2.1.26 really wasn't that useful anyway.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Try harder not to exceed the maximum length of 50 KB when writing
statistics to extra-info descriptors. This bug was triggered by very
fast relays reporting exit-port, entry, and dirreq statistics.
Reported by Olaf Selke. Bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha. Fixes bug 2183.
- Publish a router descriptor even if generating an extra-info
descriptor fails. Previously we would not publish a router
descriptor without an extra-info descriptor; this can cause fast
exit relays collecting exit-port statistics to drop from the
consensus. Bugfix on 0.1.2.9-rc; fixes bug 2195.

o Minor bugfixes (on Tor 0.2.1.x and earlier):
- When we're trying to guess whether we know our IP address as
a relay, we would log various ways that we failed to guess
our address, but never log that we ended up guessing it
successfully. Now add a log line to help confused and anxious
relay operators. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha; fixes bug 1534.
- Bring the logic that gathers routerinfos and assesses the
acceptability of circuits into line. This prevents a Tor OP from
getting locked in a cycle of choosing its local OR as an exit for a
path (due to a .exit request) and then rejecting the circuit because
final touchups
2010-11-16 07:12:32 +01:00

Changes in version 0.2.2.17-alpha - 2010-09-30
retroactively declare the cbt fixes to be major also put in release blurbs
2010-10-01 10:53:23 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.17-alpha introduces a feature to make it harder for clients
to use one-hop circuits (which can put the exit relays at higher risk,
plus unbalance the network); fixes a big bug in bandwidth accounting
for relays that want to limit their monthly bandwidth use; fixes a
big pile of bugs in how clients tolerate temporary network failure;
and makes our adaptive circuit build timeout feature (which improves
client performance if your network is fast while not breaking things
if your network is slow) better handle bad networks.

o Major features:
- Exit relays now try harder to block exit attempts from unknown
relays, to make it harder for people to use them as one-hop proxies
a la tortunnel. Controlled by the refuseunknownexits consensus
parameter (currently enabled), or you can override it on your
bump to 0.2.2.17-alpha

2010-09-30 23:32:17 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (0.2.1.x and earlier):
- Fix a bug in bandwidth accounting that could make us use twice
the intended bandwidth when our interval start changes due to
daylight saving time. Now we tolerate skew in stored vs computed
interval starts: if the start of the period changes by no more than
50% of the period's duration, we remember bytes that we transferred
in the old period. Fixes bug 1511; bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
- Always search the Windows system directory for system DLLs, and
nowhere else. Bugfix on 0.1.1.23; fixes bug 1954.
- When you're using bridges and your network goes away and your
bridges get marked as down, recover when you attempt a new socks
connection (if the network is back), rather than waiting up to an
hour to try fetching new descriptors for your bridges. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes bug 1981.
o Major bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x):
- Fix compilation on Windows. Bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha; related to
bug 1797.
- Fix a segfault that could happen when operating a bridge relay with
no GeoIP database set. Fixes bug 1964; bugfix on 0.2.2.15-alpha.
- The consensus bandwidth-weights (used by clients to choose fast
relays) entered an unexpected edge case in September where
Exits were much scarcer than Guards, resulting in bad weight
recommendations. Now we compute them using new constraints that
should succeed in all cases. Also alter directory authorities to
not include the bandwidth-weights line if they fail to produce
valid values. Fixes bug 1952; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.
- When weighting bridges during path selection, we used to trust
the bandwidths they provided in their descriptor, only capping them
at 10MB/s. This turned out to be problematic for two reasons:
Bridges could claim to handle a lot more traffic then they
actually would, thus making more clients pick them and have a
pretty effective DoS attack. The other issue is that new bridges
that might not have a good estimate for their bw capacity yet
would not get used at all unless no other bridges are available
to a client. Fixes bug 1912; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.

2010-10-01 10:53:23 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (on the circuit build timeout feature, 0.2.2.x):
- Ignore cannibalized circuits when recording circuit build times.
This should provide for a minor performance improvement for hidden
service users using 0.2.2.14-alpha, and should remove two spurious
notice log messages. Bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha; fixes bug 1740.
- Simplify the logic that causes us to decide if the network is
unavailable for purposes of recording circuit build times. If we
receive no cells whatsoever for the entire duration of a circuit's
full measured lifetime, the network is probably down. Also ignore
one-hop directory fetching circuit timeouts when calculating our
circuit build times. These changes should hopefully reduce the
cases where we see ridiculous circuit build timeouts for people
with spotty wireless connections. Fixes part of bug 1772; bugfix
on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
- Prevent the circuit build timeout from becoming larger than
the maximum build time we have ever seen. Also, prevent the time
period for measurement circuits from becoming larger than twice that
value. Fixes the other part of bug 1772; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.

2010-09-30 23:32:17 +02:00
o Minor features:
- When we run out of directory information such that we can't build
circuits, but then get enough that we can build circuits, log when
we actually construct a circuit, so the user has a better chance of
knowing what's going on. Fixes bug 1362.
- Be more generous with how much bandwidth we'd use up (with
accounting enabled) before entering "soft hibernation". Previously,
we'd refuse new connections and circuits once we'd used up 95% of
our allotment. Now, we use up 95% of our allotment, AND make sure
that we have no more than 500MB (or 3 hours of expected traffic,
whichever is lower) remaining before we enter soft hibernation.
- If we've configured EntryNodes and our network goes away and/or all
our entrynodes get marked down, optimistically retry them all when
a new socks application request appears. Fixes bug 1882.
- Add some more defensive programming for architectures that can't
handle unaligned integer accesses. We don't know of any actual bugs
right now, but that's the best time to fix them. Fixes bug 1943.
- Support line continuations in the torrc config file. If a line
ends with a single backslash character, the newline is ignored, and
the configuration value is treated as continuing on the next line.
Resolves bug 1929.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.1.x and earlier):
- For bandwidth accounting, calculate our expected bandwidth rate
based on the time during which we were active and not in
soft-hibernation during the last interval. Previously, we were
also considering the time spent in soft-hibernation. If this
was a long time, we would wind up underestimating our bandwidth
by a lot, and skewing our wakeup time towards the start of the
accounting interval. Fixes bug 1789. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.

- Resume generating CIRC FAILED REASON=TIMEOUT control port messages,
which were disabled by the circuit build timeout changes in

- Make sure we don't warn about missing bandwidth weights when
choosing bridges or other relays not in the consensus. Bugfix on
0.2.2.10-alpha; fixes bug 1805.
- In our logs, do not double-report signatures from unrecognized
authorities both as "from unknown authority" and "not
present". Fixes bug 1956, bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha.

2010-10-01 10:53:23 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.16-alpha fixes a variety of old stream fairness bugs (most
evident at exit relays), and also continues to resolve all the little
bugs that have been filling up trac lately.

o Major bugfixes (stream-level fairness):

2010-09-16 19:45:54 +02:00
- When receiving a circuit-level SENDME for a blocked circuit, try
to package cells fairly from all the streams that had previously
been blocked on that circuit. Previously, we had started with the
oldest stream, and allowed each stream to potentially exhaust
the circuit's package window. This gave older streams on any
given circuit priority over newer ones. Fixes bug 1937. Detected
originally by Camilo Viecco. This bug was introduced before the
first Tor release, in svn commit r152: it is the new winner of
the longest-lived bug prize.
merge changes files for upcoming release
2010-09-13 11:51:49 +02:00
- When the exit relay got a circuit-level sendme cell, it started
reading on the exit streams, even if had 500 cells queued in the
circuit queue already, so the circuit queue just grew and grew in
some cases. We fix this by not re-enabling reading on receipt of a
sendme cell when the cell queue is blocked. Fixes bug 1653. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Detected by Mashael AlSabah. Original patch by
"yetonetime".
- Newly created streams were allowed to read cells onto circuits,
even if the circuit's cell queue was blocked and waiting to drain.
This created potential unfairness, as older streams would be
blocked, but newer streams would gladly fill the queue completely.
We add code to detect this situation and prevent any stream from
getting more than one free cell. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Partially
fixes bug 1298.
o Minor features:
- Update to the September 1 2010 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
- Warn when CookieAuthFileGroupReadable is set but CookieAuthFile is
not. This would lead to a cookie that is still not group readable.
Closes bug 1843. Suggested by katmagic.
- When logging a rate-limited warning, we now mention how many messages
got suppressed since the last warning.
fold in the recent changes files
2010-09-16 19:45:54 +02:00
- Add new "perconnbwrate" and "perconnbwburst" consensus params to
do individual connection-level rate limiting of clients. The torrc
config options with the same names trump the consensus params, if
both are present. Replaces the old "bwconnrate" and "bwconnburst"
consensus params which were broken from 0.2.2.7-alpha through
0.2.2.14-alpha. Closes bug 1947.
- When a router changes IP address or port, authorities now launch
a new reachability test for it. Implements ticket 1899.
- Make the formerly ugly "2 unknown, 7 missing key, 0 good, 0 bad,
2 no signature, 4 required" messages about consensus signatures
easier to read, and make sure they get logged at the same severity
as the messages explaining which keys are which. Fixes bug 1290.
- Don't warn when we have a consensus that we can't verify because
of missing certificates, unless those certificates are ones
that we have been trying and failing to download. Fixes bug 1145.
- If you configure your bridge with a known identity fingerprint,
and the bridge authority is unreachable (as it is in at least
one country now), fall back to directly requesting the descriptor
from the bridge. Finishes the feature started in 0.2.0.10-alpha;
closes bug 1138.
- When building with --enable-gcc-warnings on OpenBSD, disable
warnings in system headers. This makes --enable-gcc-warnings
pass on OpenBSD 4.8.

o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.1.x and earlier):
merge changes files for upcoming release
2010-09-13 11:51:49 +02:00
- Authorities will now attempt to download consensuses if their
own efforts to make a live consensus have failed. This change
means authorities that restart will fetch a valid consensus, and
it means authorities that didn't agree with the current consensus
will still fetch and serve it if it has enough signatures. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.9-alpha; fixes bug 1300.
- Ensure DNS requests launched by "RESOLVE" commands from the
controller respect the __LeaveStreamsUnattached setconf options. The
same goes for requests launched via DNSPort or transparent
proxying. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 1525.
- Allow handshaking OR connections to take a full KeepalivePeriod
seconds to handshake. Previously, we would close them after
IDLE_OR_CONN_TIMEOUT (180) seconds, the same timeout as if they
were open. Bugfix on 0.2.1.26; fixes bug 1840. Thanks to mingw-san
for analysis help.
- Rate-limit "Failed to hand off onionskin" warnings.

- Never relay a cell for a circuit we have already destroyed.
Between marking a circuit as closeable and finally closing it,
it may have been possible for a few queued cells to get relayed,
even though they would have been immediately dropped by the next
OR in the circuit. Fixes bug 1184; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Never queue a cell for a circuit that's already been marked
for close.
- Never vote for a server as "Running" if we have a descriptor for
it claiming to be hibernating, and that descriptor was published
more recently than our last contact with the server. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha; fixes bug 911.
- Squash a compile warning on OpenBSD. Reported by Tas; fixes
bug 1848.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x):
- Fix a regression introduced in 0.2.2.7-alpha that marked relays
down if a directory fetch fails and you've configured either
bridges or EntryNodes. The intent was to mark the relay as down
_unless_ you're using bridges or EntryNodes, since if you are
then you could quickly run out of entry points.

Tor 0.2.2.15-alpha fixes a big bug in hidden service availability,

fold in the next set of changelog entries
2010-08-16 08:02:11 +02:00
- The PerConnBWRate and Burst config options, along with the
bwconnrate and bwconnburst consensus params, initialized each conn's
token bucket values only when the connection is established. Now we
update them if the config options change, and update them every time
we get a new consensus. Otherwise we can encounter an ugly edge
case where we initialize an OR conn to client-level bandwidth,
but then later the relay joins the consensus and we leave it
throttled. Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha; fixes bug 1830.
- Fix a regression that caused Tor to rebind its ports if it receives
SIGHUP while hibernating. Bugfix in 0.1.1.6-alpha; closes bug 919.

o Major features:
- Lower the maximum weighted-fractional-uptime cutoff to 98%. This
should give us approximately 40-50% more Guard-flagged nodes,
improving the anonymity the Tor network can provide and also
decreasing the dropoff in throughput that relays experience when
they first get the Guard flag.

that it already had it, and didn't realize that the purpose of the
descriptor had changed. Now we replace routers with a purpose other
than bridge with bridge descriptors when fetching them. Bugfix on
0.1.1.9-alpha. Bug 1776 not yet fixed because now we immediately
refetch the descriptor with router purpose 'general', disabling
it as a bridge.

- Alter directory authorities to always consider Exit-flagged nodes
as potential Guard nodes in their votes. The actual decision to
use Exits as Guards is done in the consensus bandwidth weights.
Fixes bug 1294; bugfix on 0.2.2.10-alpha.
- When the controller is reporting the purpose of circuits that
didn't finish building before the circuit build timeout, it was
printing UNKNOWN_13. Now print EXPIRED. Bugfix on 0.2.2.14-alpha.

1.4.14b-stable and incorrectly warned the user about using an
old and broken version of libevent. Treat 1.4.14b-stable like

Changes in version 0.2.2.14-alpha - 2010-07-12
0.2.2.14-alpha blurb
2010-07-13 21:50:24 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.14-alpha greatly improves client-side handling of
circuit build timeouts, which are used to estimate speed and improve
performance. We also move to a much better GeoIP database, port Tor to
Windows CE, introduce new compile flags that improve code security,
add an eighth v3 directory authority, and address a lot of more
minor issues.

assert. Bugfix on 0.0.8pre1; fixes bug 1522.
- Ignore negative and large circuit build timeout values that can
happen during a suspend or hibernate. These values caused various
asserts to fire. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes bug 1245.

Circuit Build Timeout learning to use the weighted average of the
top N=3 modes (because we have three entry guards). Considering
multiple modes should improve the timeout calculation in some cases,
and prevent extremely high timeout values. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha;
fixes bug 1335.

right censored distribution model. This approach improves over the
synthetic timeout generation approach that was producing insanely
high timeout values. Now we calculate build timeouts using truncated
times. Bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha; fixes bugs 1245 and 1335.
- Do not close circuits that are under construction when they reach
the circuit build timeout. Instead, leave them building (but do not
use them) for up until the time corresponding to the 95th percentile

to provide better data for the new Pareto model. This percentile
can be controlled by the consensus.

o Major features:
- Move to the June 2010 Maxmind GeoLite country db (rather than the
June 2009 ip-to-country GeoIP db) for our statistics that count
how many users relays are seeing from each country. Now we have
more accurate data for many African countries.
- Port Tor to build and run correctly on Windows CE systems, using
the wcecompat library. Contributed by Valerio Lupi.
guh. 'git commit' did not do what i expect.
2010-07-12 22:46:28 +02:00
- New "--enable-gcc-hardening" ./configure flag (off by default)
to turn on gcc compile time hardening options. It ensures
that signed ints have defined behavior (-fwrapv), enables
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 (requiring -O2), adds stack smashing protection
with canaries (-fstack-protector-all), turns on ASLR protection if
supported by the kernel (-fPIE, -pie), and adds additional security
related warnings. Verified to work on Mac OS X and Debian Lenny.
- New "--enable-linker-hardening" ./configure flag (off by default)
to turn on ELF specific hardening features (relro, now). This does
not work with Mac OS X or any other non-ELF binary format.

authority.
o Minor features:
- New config option "WarnUnsafeSocks 0" disables the warning that
manually forward-port 2871dd8bef
2011-08-25 21:51:24 +02:00
occurs whenever Tor receives a socks handshake using a version of
the socks protocol that can only provide an IP address (rather
than a hostname). Setups that do DNS locally over Tor are fine,
and we shouldn't spam the logs in that case.

- Add a TIMEOUT_RATE keyword to the BUILDTIMEOUT_SET control port
event, to give information on the current rate of circuit timeouts
over our stored history.
- Add ability to disable circuit build time learning via consensus
parameter and via a LearnCircuitBuildTimeout config option. Also
automatically disable circuit build time calculation if we are
either a AuthoritativeDirectory, or if we fail to write our state
file. Fixes bug 1296.
- More gracefully handle corrupt state files, removing asserts
in favor of saving a backup and resetting state.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Build correctly on OSX with zlib 1.2.4 and higher with all warnings
enabled.
- When a2x fails, mention that the user could disable manpages instead
of trying to fix their asciidoc installation.
- Where available, use Libevent 2.0's periodic timers so that our
once-per-second cleanup code gets called even more closely to
once per second than it would otherwise. Fixes bug 943.
- If you run a bridge that listens on multiple IP addresses, and
some user configures a bridge address that uses a different IP
address than your bridge writes in its router descriptor, and the
user doesn't specify an identity key, their Tor would discard the
descriptor because "it isn't one of our configured bridges", and
fail to bootstrap. Now believe the descriptor and bootstrap anyway.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- If OpenSSL fails to make a duplicate of a private or public key, log
an error message and try to exit cleanly. May help with debugging
if bug 1209 ever remanifests.
- Save a couple bytes in memory allocation every time we escape
certain characters in a string. Patch from Florian Zumbiehl.
- Make it explicit that we don't cannibalize one-hop circuits. This
happens in the wild, but doesn't turn out to be a problem because
we fortunately don't use those circuits. Many thanks to outofwords
for the initial analysis and to swissknife who confirmed that
two-hop circuits are actually created.

Copy the release notes from 0.2.1.26 into the master ChangeLog
2010-06-11 22:31:03 +02:00
Changes in version 0.2.1.26 - 2010-05-02
Tor 0.2.1.26 addresses the recent connection and memory overload
problems we've been seeing on relays, especially relays with their
DirPort open. If your relay has been crashing, or you turned it off
because it used too many resources, give this release a try.
This release also fixes yet another instance of broken OpenSSL libraries
that was causing some relays to drop out of the consensus.
o Major bugfixes:
- Teach relays to defend themselves from connection overload. Relays
now close idle circuits early if it looks like they were intended
for directory fetches. Relays are also more aggressive about closing
TLS connections that have no circuits on them. Such circuits are
unlikely to be re-used, and tens of thousands of them were piling
up at the fast relays, causing the relays to run out of sockets
and memory. Bugfix on 0.2.0.22-rc (where clients started tunneling
their directory fetches over TLS).
- Fix SSL renegotiation behavior on OpenSSL versions like on Centos
that claim to be earlier than 0.9.8m, but which have in reality
backported huge swaths of 0.9.8m or 0.9.8n renegotiation
behavior. Possible fix for some cases of bug 1346.
- Directory mirrors were fetching relay descriptors only from v2
directory authorities, rather than v3 authorities like they should.
Only 2 v2 authorities remain (compared to 7 v3 authorities), leading
to a serious bottleneck. Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha. Fixes bug 1324.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Finally get rid of the deprecated and now harmful notion of "clique
mode", where directory authorities maintain TLS connections to
every other relay.
o Testsuite fixes:
- In the util/threads test, no longer free the test_mutex before all
worker threads have finished. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
- The master thread could starve the worker threads quite badly on
certain systems, causing them to run only partially in the allowed
window. This resulted in test failures. Now the master thread sleeps
occasionally for a few microseconds while the two worker-threads
compete for the mutex. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.

prepare the 0.2.2.13-alpha changelog
2010-04-24 02:59:20 +02:00
- Directory authorities now do an immediate reachability check as soon
as they hear about a new relay. This change should slightly reduce
the time between setting up a relay and getting listed as running
in the consensus. It should also improve the time between setting
up a bridge and seeing use by bridge users.
- Directory authorities no longer launch a TLS connection to every
relay as they startup. Now that we have 2k+ descriptors cached,
the resulting network hiccup is becoming a burden. Besides,
authorities already avoid voting about Running for the first half
hour of their uptime.

Changes in version 0.2.2.12-alpha - 2010-04-20
blurbs for two recent alphas
2010-04-24 01:42:34 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.12-alpha fixes a critical bug in how directory authorities
handle and vote on descriptors. It was causing relays to drop out of
the consensus.
prepare for 0.2.2.12-alpha
2010-04-20 09:53:07 +02:00
o Major bugfixes:
- Many relays have been falling out of the consensus lately because
not enough authorities know about their descriptor for them to get
a majority of votes. When we deprecated the v2 directory protocol,
we got rid of the only way that v3 authorities can hear from each
other about other descriptors. Now authorities examine every v3
vote for new descriptors, and fetch them from that authority. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.23.
- Fix two typos in tor_vasprintf() that broke the compile on Windows,
and a warning in or.h related to bandwidth_weight_rule_t that
prevented clean compile on OS X. Fixes bug 1363; bugfix on
0.2.2.11-alpha.
- Fix a segfault on relays when DirReqStatistics is enabled
and 24 hours pass. Bug found by keb. Fixes bug 1365; bugfix on
0.2.2.11-alpha.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Demote a confusing TLS warning that relay operators might get when
someone tries to talk to their OrPort. It is neither the operator's
fault nor can they do anything about it. Fixes bug 1364; bugfix

2010-03-11 04:43:23 +01:00
o Minor features:
- Experiment with a more aggressive approach to preventing clients
from making one-hop exit streams. Exit relays who want to try it
out can set "RefuseUnknownExits 1" in their torrc, and then look
for "Attempt by %s to open a stream" log messages. Let us know

- When building the manpage from a tarball, we required asciidoc, but
the asciidoc -> roff/html conversion was already done for the
tarball. Make 'make' complain only when we need asciidoc (either
because we're compiling directly from git, or because we altered
the asciidoc manpage in the tarball). Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
- When none of the directory authorities vote on any params, Tor
segfaulted when trying to make the consensus from the votes. We
didn't trigger the bug in practice, because authorities do include

2010-03-09 05:09:49 +01:00
Tor 0.2.2.10-alpha fixes a regression introduced in 0.2.2.9-alpha that
could prevent relays from guessing their IP address correctly. It also
starts the groundwork for another client-side performance boost, since
currently we're not making efficient use of relays that have both the
Guard flag and the Exit flag.

2010-03-07 06:13:12 +01:00
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a regression from our patch for bug 1244 that caused relays
to guess their IP address incorrectly if they didn't set Address
in their torrc and/or their address fails to resolve. Bugfix on
0.2.2.9-alpha; fixes bug 1269.

o Major features (performance):
prepare 0.2.2.10-alpha for release
2010-03-07 06:13:12 +01:00
- Directory authorities now compute consensus weightings that instruct
clients how to weight relays flagged as Guard, Exit, Guard+Exit,
and no flag. Clients that use these weightings will distribute
network load more evenly across these different relay types. The
weightings are in the consensus so we can change them globally in
the future. Extra thanks to "outofwords" for finding some nasty
security bugs in the first implementation of this feature.

o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x):
Fix another coverity-spotted memleak
2010-02-23 15:02:34 +01:00
- Fix a memleak in the EXTENDCIRCUIT logic. Spotted by coverity.
Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.
Restrict PerConnBWRate|Burst to INT32_MAX, update manpage All other bandwidthrate settings are restricted to INT32_MAX, but this check was forgotten for PerConnBWRate and PerConnBWBurst. Also update the manpage to reflect the fact that specifying a bandwidth in terabytes does not make sense, because that value will be too large.
2010-02-25 12:25:57 +01:00
- Disallow values larger than INT32_MAX for PerConnBWRate|Burst
config option. Bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
Ship the asciidoc-helper file in our tarballs Otherwise, the build process breaks when one of the .1.txt gets a new mtime. Suggested by weasel.
2010-02-27 16:27:44 +01:00
- Ship the asciidoc-helper file in the tarball, so that people can
build from source if they want to, and touching the .1.txt files
doesn't break the build. Bugfix on 0.2.2.9-alpha.

o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Fix some urls in the exit notice file and make it XHTML1.1 strict
compliant. Based on a patch from Christian Kujau.
Simplify asciidoc-helper We don't need sed for our string manipulation, so let's get rid of it. Suggested by weasel.

Changes in version 0.2.2.9-alpha - 2010-02-22
blurbs for recent alphas
2010-03-09 05:09:49 +01:00
Tor 0.2.2.9-alpha makes Tor work again on the latest OS X, updates the
location of a directory authority, and cleans up a bunch of small bugs.
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address for dannenberg (v3 directory authority), and
remove moria2 (obsolete v1, v2 directory authority and v0 hidden
service directory authority) from the list.
Don't assign Exit flag incorrectly exit_policy_is_general_exit() assumed that there are no redundancies in the passed policy, in the sense that we actively combine entries in the policy to really get rid of any redundancy. Since we cannot do that without massively rewriting the policy lines the relay operators set, fix exit_policy_is_general_exit(). Fixes bug 1238, discovered by Martin Kowalczyk.
2010-02-02 14:51:51 +01:00
o Major bugfixes:
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
- Make Tor work again on the latest OS X: when deciding whether to
use strange flags to turn TLS renegotiation on, detect the OpenSSL
version at run-time, not compile time. We need to do this because
Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers when it updates its
libraries in a security patch.
- Fix a potential buffer overflow in lookup_last_hid_serv_request()
that could happen on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit time_t. Also fix
a memory leak when requesting a hidden service descriptor we've
requested before. Fixes bug 1242, bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha. Found
by aakova.

2010-02-02 14:51:51 +01:00
- Authorities could be tricked into giving out the Exit flag to relays
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
that didn't allow exiting to any ports. This bug could screw
with load balancing and stats. Bugfix on 0.1.1.6-alpha; fixes bug
1238. Bug discovered by Martin Kowalczyk.
prepare 0.2.2.10-alpha for release
2010-03-07 06:13:12 +01:00
- When freeing a session key, zero it out completely. We only zeroed
the first ptrsize bytes. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre8. Discovered and
patched by ekir. Fixes bug 1254.

2010-02-02 14:51:51 +01:00
Decide whether to use SSL flags based on runtime OpenSSL version. We need to do this because Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers when it updates its libraries in a security patch. On the bright side, this might get us out of shipping a statically linked OpenSSL on OSX. May fix bug 1225.
2010-01-29 23:02:17 +01:00
o Minor bugfixes:
Add a changelog entry for fixing bug 1237. We don't have such an entry for 0.2.1.x, since bug 1237 never made it into a released version of 0.2.1.x.
2010-02-02 22:22:12 +01:00
- Fix static compilation by listing the openssl libraries in the right
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
order. Bugfix on Tor 0.2.2.8-alpha; fixes bug 1237.
- Resume handling .exit hostnames in a special way: originally we
stripped the .exit part and used the requested exit relay. In
0.2.2.1-alpha we stopped treating them in any special way, meaning
if you use a .exit address then Tor will pass it on to the exit
relay. Now we reject the .exit stream outright, since that behavior
might be more expected by the user. Found and diagnosed by Scott
Bennett and Downie on or-talk.
- Don't spam the controller with events when we have no file
descriptors available. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha. (Rate-limiting
for log messages was already solved from bug 748.)
- Avoid a bogus overlapped memcpy in tor_addr_copy(). Reported by
Add changelog for memcpy bug, with credit for "memcpyfail"
2010-02-09 19:08:49 +01:00
"memcpyfail".
Make the DNSPort option work with libevent 2.x We need to use evdns_add_server_port_with_base() when configuring our DNS listener, because libevent segfaults otherwise. Add a macro in compat_libevent.h to pick the correct implementation depending on the libevent version. Fixes bug 1143, found by SwissTorExit
2010-02-19 17:19:33 +01:00
- Make the DNSPort option work with libevent 2.x. Don't alter the
sorry brits
2015-02-19 15:26:32 +01:00
behavior for libevent 1.x. Fixes bug 1143. Found by SwissTorExit.
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
- Emit a GUARD DROPPED controller event for a case we missed.
- Make more fields in the controller protocol case-insensitive, since
control-spec.txt said they were.
- Refactor resolve_my_address() to not use gethostbyname() anymore.
Fixes bug 1244; bugfix on 0.0.2pre25. Reported by Mike Mestnik.
network-status-version must come first in a vote/consensus Spec conformance issue: The code didn't force the network-status-version token to be the first token in a v3 vote or consensus. Problem discovered by Parakeep.
2010-02-22 07:58:10 +01:00
- Fix a spec conformance issue: the network-status-version token
must be the first token in a v3 consensus or vote. Discovered by
parakeep. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Decide whether to use SSL flags based on runtime OpenSSL version. We need to do this because Apple doesn't update its dev-tools headers when it updates its libraries in a security patch. On the bright side, this might get us out of shipping a statically linked OpenSSL on OSX. May fix bug 1225.
2010-01-29 23:02:17 +01:00
Fix ChangeLog entry for asciidoc branch.
2010-01-27 19:27:53 +01:00
o Code simplifications and refactoring:
prepare for 0.2.2.9-alpha
2010-02-22 06:20:55 +01:00
- Generate our manpage and HTML documentation using Asciidoc. This
change should make it easier to maintain the documentation, and
produce nicer HTML.
- Remove the --enable-iphone option. According to reports from Marco
Bonetti, Tor builds fine without any special tweaking on recent
iPhone SDK versions.

- Enabled various circuit build timeout constants to be controlled
by consensus parameters. Also set better defaults for these
parameters based on experimentation on broadband and simulated
high latency links.
o Minor features:

Future-proof the control protocol by ignoring unrecognized keyword args
2010-02-18 18:47:42 +01:00
- Future-proof the controller protocol a bit by ignoring keyword
arguments we do not recognize.
Expand homedirs in paths passed to tor-checkkey This is so that coverity stops complaining about using a user-supplied string with the open() syscall. Let's see if it works.
2010-02-22 12:08:58 +01:00
- Expand homedirs passed to tor-checkkey. This should silence a
coverity complaint about passing a user-supplied string into
open() without checking it.

Changes in version 0.2.1.25 - 2010-03-16
Tor 0.2.1.25 fixes a regression introduced in 0.2.1.23 that could
prevent relays from guessing their IP address correctly. It also fixes
several minor potential security bugs.
Zero a cipher completely before freeing it We used to only zero the first ptrsize bytes of the cipher. Since cipher is large enough, we didn't zero too many bytes. Discovered and fixed by ekir. Fixes bug 1254.
2010-02-22 11:39:29 +01:00
o Major bugfixes:
clean up the 0.2.1.25 changelog
2010-03-07 04:39:34 +01:00
- Fix a regression from our patch for bug 1244 that caused relays
to guess their IP address incorrectly if they didn't set Address
in their torrc and/or their address fails to resolve. Bugfix on
0.2.1.23; fixes bug 1269.
- When freeing a session key, zero it out completely. We only zeroed
the first ptrsize bytes. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre8. Discovered and
patched by ekir. Fixes bug 1254.
Apply Roger's bug 1269 fix. From http://archives.seul.org/tor/relays/Mar-2010/msg00006.html : As I understand it, the bug should show up on relays that don't set Address to an IP address (so they need to resolve their Address line or their hostname to guess their IP address), and their hostname or Address line fails to resolve -- at that point they'll pick a random 4 bytes out of memory and call that their address. At the same time, relays that *do* successfully resolve their address will ignore the result, and only come up with a useful address if their interface address happens to be a public IP address.
2010-03-05 00:37:40 +01:00
Proper NULL checking for hsdesc publication Fix a dereference-then-NULL-check sequence. This bug wasn't triggered in the wild, but we should fix it anyways in case it ever happens. Also make sure users get a note about this being a bug when they see it in their log. Thanks to ekir for discovering and reporting this bug.

Properly handle non-terminated strings Treat strings returned from signed_descriptor_get_body_impl() as not NUL-terminated. Since the length of the strings is available, this is not a big problem. Discovered by rieo.
2010-02-25 10:31:36 +01:00

2010-02-21 23:27:12 +01:00
Changes in version 0.2.1.24 - 2010-02-21
Tor 0.2.1.24 makes Tor work again on the latest OS X -- this time
for sure!
Fix a memory corruption bug while collecting bridge stats We accidentally freed the internal buffer for bridge stats when we were writing the bridge stats file or honoring a control port request for said data. Change the interfaces for geoip_get_bridge_stats* to prevent these problems, and remove the offending free/add a tor_strdup. Fixes bug 1208.

Changes in version 0.2.1.23 - 2010-02-13
Tor 0.2.1.23 fixes a huge client-side performance bug, makes Tor work
again on the latest OS X, and updates the location of a directory
authority.
weight guard choice by bandwidth; discard old guards
2010-01-19 23:30:52 +01:00
o Major bugfixes (performance):
- We were selecting our guards uniformly at random, and then weighting
which of our guards we'd use uniformly at random. This imbalance
meant that Tor clients were severely limited on throughput (and
probably latency too) by the first hop in their circuit. Now we
select guards weighted by currently advertised bandwidth. We also
automatically discard guards picked using the old algorithm. Fixes
bug 1217; bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha. Found by Mike Perry.
lookup_last_hid_serv_request() could overflow and leak memory The problem was that we didn't allocate enough memory on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit time_t. The memory leak occured every time we fetched a hidden service descriptor we've fetched before.

spread guard rotation out throughout the month
2010-01-19 23:52:52 +01:00
o Minor features:
- Avoid a mad rush at the beginning of each month when each client
rotates half of its guards. Instead we spread the rotation out
throughout the month, but we still avoid leaving a precise timestamp
in the state file about when we first picked the guard. Improves
over the behavior introduced in 0.1.2.17.

probably latency too) by the first hop in their circuit. Now we
select guards weighted by currently advertised bandwidth. We also
automatically discard guards picked using the old algorithm. Fixes
bug 1217; bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha. Found by Mike Perry.

- When choosing which cells to relay first, relays can now favor
circuits that have been quiet recently, to provide lower latency
for low-volume circuits. By default, relays enable or disable this
feature based on a setting in the consensus. You can override
this default by using the new "CircuitPriorityHalflife" config
option. Design and code by Ian Goldberg, Can Tang, and Chris
Alexander.
add separate per-conn write limiting
2009-12-30 04:25:02 +01:00
- Add separate per-conn write limiting to go with the per-conn read
limiting. We added a global write limit in Tor 0.1.2.5-alpha,
but never per-conn write limits.

a changelog and doc fixes for the strictnodes work
2009-12-21 10:38:49 +01:00
- If EntryNodes, ExitNodes, ExcludeNodes, or ExcludeExitNodes
change during a config reload, mark and discard all our origin
circuits. This fix should address edge cases where we change the
config options and but then choose a circuit that we created before
the change.
- If EntryNodes or ExitNodes are set, be more willing to use an
unsuitable (e.g. slow or unstable) circuit. The user asked for it,
they get it.
- Make EntryNodes config option much more aggressive even when
StrictNodes is not set. Before it would prepend your requested
entrynodes to your list of guard nodes, but feel free to use others
after that. Now it chooses only from your EntryNodes if any of
those are available, and only falls back to others if a) they're
all down and b) StrictNodes is not set.
- Now we refresh your entry guards from EntryNodes at each consensus
fetch -- rather than just at startup and then they slowly rot as
the network changes.

directory queries, which would let people fetch a list of all
bridge identities they track. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
New config option "CircuitStreamTimeout" New config option "CircuitStreamTimeout" to override our internal timeout schedule for how many seconds until we detach a stream from a circuit and try a new circuit. If your network is particularly slow, you might want to set this to a number like 60.

- Avoid a mad rush at the beginning of each month when each client

throughout the month, but we still avoid leaving a precise timestamp
in the state file about when we first picked the guard. Improves
over the behavior introduced in 0.1.2.17.

- Don't list Windows capabilities in relay descriptors. We never made
use of them, and maybe it's a bad idea to publish them. Bugfix

our relay selection. Fixes bug 1203; bugfix on 0.0.8rc1.
- Fix statistics on client numbers by country as seen by bridges that
were broken in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Also switch to reporting full 24-hour
intervals instead of variable 12-to-48-hour intervals.
- After we free an internal connection structure, overwrite it
with a different memory value than we use for overwriting a freed
internal circuit structure. Should help with debugging. Suggested
by bug 1055.

service authorities could have used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage.
Fix compilation on OSX 10.3. On this OSX version, there is a stub mlockall() function that doesn't work, *and* the declaration for it is hidden by an '#ifdef _P1003_1B_VISIBLE'. This would make autoconf successfully find the function, but our code fail to build when no declaration was found. This patch adds an additional test for the declaration.

if you make the right directory request. This stable update also
rotates two of the seven v3 directory authority keys and locations.

Changes in version 0.2.1.21 - 2009-12-21
Tor 0.2.1.21 fixes an incompatibility with the most recent OpenSSL
library. If you use Tor on Linux / Unix and you're getting SSL
renegotiation errors, upgrading should help. We also recommend an
upgrade if you're an exit relay.
o Major bugfixes:
- Work around a security feature in OpenSSL 0.9.8l that prevents our
handshake from working unless we explicitly tell OpenSSL that we
are using SSL renegotiation safely. We are, of course, but OpenSSL
0.9.8l won't work unless we say we are.
- Avoid crashing if the client is trying to upload many bytes and the
circuit gets torn down at the same time, or if the flip side
happens on the exit relay. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fixes bug 1150.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Do not refuse to learn about authority certs and v2 networkstatus
documents that are older than the latest consensus. This bug might
have degraded client bootstrapping. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
Spotted and fixed by xmux.
- Fix a couple of very-hard-to-trigger memory leaks, and one hard-to-
trigger platform-specific option misparsing case found by Coverity
Scan.
- Fix a compilation warning on Fedora 12 by removing an impossible-to-
trigger assert. Fixes bug 1173.

Tor 0.2.2.6-alpha lays the groundwork for many upcoming features:
support for the new lower-footprint "microdescriptor" directory design,
future-proofing our consensus format against new hash functions or
other changes, and an Android port. It also makes Tor compatible with
the upcoming OpenSSL 0.9.8l release, and fixes a variety of bugs.

multiple flavors".
- Directory authorities can now agree on and publish small summaries
of router information that clients can use in place of regular
server descriptors. This transition will eventually allow clients
to use far less bandwidth for downloading information about the
network. Begins the implementation of Proposal 158: "Clients
download consensus + microdescriptors".

algorithms for signatures and resource selection. Newer formats
are signed with SHA256, with a possibility for moving to a better
hash algorithm in the future.
Implement DisableAllSwap to avoid putting secret info in page files. This commit implements a new config option: 'DisableAllSwap' This option probably only works properly when Tor is started as root. We added two new functions: tor_mlockall() and tor_set_max_memlock(). tor_mlockall() attempts to mlock() all current and all future memory pages. For tor_mlockall() to work properly we set the process rlimits for memory to RLIM_INFINITY (and beyond) inside of tor_set_max_memlock(). We behave differently from mlockall() by only allowing tor_mlockall() to be called one single time. All other calls will result in a return code of 1. It is not possible to change DisableAllSwap while running. A sample configuration item was added to the torrc.complete.in config file. A new item in the man page for DisableAllSwap was added. Thanks to Moxie Marlinspike and Chris Palmer for their feedback on this patch. Please note that we make no guarantees about the quality of your OS and its mlock/mlockall implementation. It is possible that this will do nothing at all. It is also possible that you can ulimit the mlock properties of a given user such that root is not required. This has not been extensively tested and is unsupported. I have included some comments for possible ways we can handle this on win32.
2009-10-22 06:21:57 +02:00
- New DisableAllSwap option. If set to 1, Tor will attempt to lock all
clean up changelog for the 0.2.2.6-alpha release
2009-11-17 13:02:17 +01:00
current and future memory pages via mlockall(). On supported
platforms (modern Linux and probably BSD but not Windows or OS X),
this should effectively disable any and all attempts to page out
memory. This option requires that you start your Tor as root --
if you use DisableAllSwap, please consider using the User option
to properly reduce the privileges of your Tor.
- Numerous changes, bugfixes, and workarounds from Nathan Freitas
to help Tor build correctly for Android phones.

Changes in version 0.2.1.20 - 2009-10-15
Tor 0.2.1.20 fixes a crash bug when you're accessing many hidden
services at once, prepares for more performance improvements, and
fixes a bunch of smaller bugs.
The Windows and OS X bundles also include a more recent Vidalia,
and switch from Privoxy to Polipo.
The OS X installers are now drag and drop. It's best to un-install
Tor/Vidalia and then install this new bundle, rather than upgrade. If
you want to upgrade, you'll need to update the paths for Tor and Polipo
in the Vidalia Settings window.
o Major bugfixes:
- Send circuit or stream sendme cells when our window has decreased
by 100 cells, not when it has decreased by 101 cells. Bug uncovered
by Karsten when testing the "reduce circuit window" performance
patch. Bugfix on the 54th commit on Tor -- from July 2002,
before the release of Tor 0.0.0. This is the new winner of the
oldest-bug prize.
- Fix a remotely triggerable memory leak when a consensus document
contains more than one signature from the same voter. Bugfix on
0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Avoid segfault in rare cases when finishing an introduction circuit
as a client and finding out that we don't have an introduction key
for it. Fixes bug 1073. Reported by Aaron Swartz.
o Major features:
- Tor now reads the "circwindow" parameter out of the consensus,
and uses that value for its circuit package window rather than the
default of 1000 cells. Begins the implementation of proposal 168.
o New directory authorities:
- Set up urras (run by Jacob Appelbaum) as the seventh v3 directory
authority.
- Move moria1 and tonga to alternate IP addresses.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a signed/unsigned compile warning in 0.2.1.19.
- Fix possible segmentation fault on directory authorities. Bugfix on
0.2.1.14-rc.
- Fix an extremely rare infinite recursion bug that could occur if
we tried to log a message after shutting down the log subsystem.
Found by Matt Edman. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Fix an obscure bug where hidden services on 64-bit big-endian
systems might mis-read the timestamp in v3 introduce cells, and
refuse to connect back to the client. Discovered by "rotor".
Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
- We were triggering a CLOCK_SKEW controller status event whenever
we connect via the v2 connection protocol to any relay that has
a wrong clock. Instead, we should only inform the controller when
it's a trusted authority that claims our clock is wrong. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.20-rc; starts to fix bug 1074. Reported by SwissTorExit.
- We were telling the controller about CHECKING_REACHABILITY and
REACHABILITY_FAILED status events whenever we launch a testing
circuit or notice that one has failed. Instead, only tell the
controller when we want to inform the user of overall success or
overall failure. Bugfix on 0.1.2.6-alpha. Fixes bug 1075. Reported
by SwissTorExit.
- Don't warn when we're using a circuit that ends with a node
excluded in ExcludeExitNodes, but the circuit is not used to access
the outside world. This should help fix bug 1090. Bugfix on
0.2.1.6-alpha.
- Work around a small memory leak in some versions of OpenSSL that
stopped the memory used by the hostname TLS extension from being
freed.
o Minor features:
- Add a "getinfo status/accepted-server-descriptor" controller
command, which is the recommended way for controllers to learn
whether our server descriptor has been successfully received by at
least on directory authority. Un-recommend good-server-descriptor
getinfo and status events until we have a better design for them.

Debugging logs for TLS handshake The big change is to add a function to display the current SSL handshake state, and to log it everywhere reasonable. (A failure in SSL23_ST_CR_SRVR_HELLO_A is different from one in SSL3_ST_CR_SESSION_TICKET_A.) This patch also adds a new log domain for OR handshaking, so you can pull out all the handshake log messages without having to run at debug for everything. For example, you'd just say "log notice-err [handshake]debug-err file tor.log".

2009-10-10 19:33:17 +02:00
Tor 0.2.2.2-alpha introduces our latest performance improvement for
clients: Tor tracks the average time it takes to build a circuit, and
avoids using circuits that take too long to build. For fast connections,
this feature can cut your expected latency in half. For slow or flaky
connections, it could ruin your Tor experience. Let us know if it does!
Implement proposal 167: Authorities vote on network parameters. This code adds a new field to vote on: "params". It consists of a list of sorted key=int pairs. The output is computed as the median of all the integers for any key on which anybody voted. Improved with input from Roger.
2009-09-15 04:15:57 +02:00
o Major features:
give proposal 151 a changelog and other touchups
2009-09-17 07:42:33 +02:00
- Tor now tracks how long it takes to build client-side circuits
over time, and adapts its timeout to local network performance.
Since a circuit that takes a long time to build will also provide
bad performance, we get significant latency improvements by
discarding the slowest 20% of circuits. Specifically, Tor creates
circuits more aggressively than usual until it has enough data
points for a good timeout estimate. Implements proposal 151.
We are especially looking for reports (good and bad) from users with
both EDGE and broadband connections that can move from broadband
to EDGE and find out if the build-time data in the .tor/state gets
reset without loss of Tor usability. You should also see a notice
log message telling you that Tor has reset its timeout.

part of the consensus process. This is designed to help set
network-wide parameters. Implements proposal 167.
Read "circwindow=x" from the consensus and use it Tor now reads the "circwindow" parameter out of the consensus, and uses that value for its circuit package window rather than the default of 1000 cells. Begins the implementation of proposal 168.

Merge commit 'ioerror/DirFetchInfoExtraEarly' Conflicts: ChangeLog
2009-07-25 06:52:54 +02:00
- Certain Tor clients (such as those behind check.torproject.org) may
want to fetch the consensus in an extra early manner. To enable this
a user may now set FetchDirInfoExtraEarly to 1. This also depends on
setting FetchDirInfoEarly to 1. Previous behavior will stay the same
as only certain clients who must have this information sooner should
set this option.
Add the first 8 bytes of the git commit digest to our versions. Note that unlike subversion revision numbers, it isn't meaningful to compare these for anything but equality. We define a sort-order anyway, in case one of these accidentally slips into a recommended-versions list.
2009-06-12 19:38:37 +02:00
- Instead of adding the svn revision to the Tor version string, report
the git commit (when we're building from a git checkout).
Command-line option to dump SHA1 digests of all source files. Now, when you call tor --digests, it dumps the SHA1 digest of each source file that Tor was built with. We support both 'sha1sum' and 'openssl sha1'. If the user is building from a tarball and they haven't edited anything, they don't need any program that calculates SHA1. If they _have_ modified a file but they don't have a program to calculate SHA1, we try to build so we do not output digests.

service authorities still accept and serve version 0 descriptors
when contacted by older hidden services/clients.
Remove support for events without the extended format or long names. Supporting the old formats made our code complex; running without them has been discouraged since 0.2.1.x.

Command-line option to dump SHA1 digests of all source files. Now, when you call tor --digests, it dumps the SHA1 digest of each source file that Tor was built with. We support both 'sha1sum' and 'openssl sha1'. If the user is building from a tarball and they haven't edited anything, they don't need any program that calculates SHA1. If they _have_ modified a file but they don't have a program to calculate SHA1, we try to build so we do not output digests.

2009-07-29 02:44:51 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.19 fixes a major bug with accessing and providing hidden
services on Tor 0.2.1.3-alpha through 0.2.1.18.
three hacks to workaround bug 1038 The problem is that clients and hidden services are receiving relay_early cells, and they tear down the circuit. Hack #1 is for rendezvous points to rewrite relay_early cells to relay cells. That way there are never any incoming relay_early cells. Hack #2 is for clients and hidden services to never send a relay_early cell on an established rendezvous circuit. That works around rendezvous points that haven't upgraded yet. Hack #3 is for clients and hidden services to not tear down the circuit when they receive an inbound relay_early cell. We already refuse extend cells at clients.

Tor 0.2.1.18 lays the foundations for performance improvements,
adds status events to help users diagnose bootstrap problems, adds
optional authentication/authorization for hidden services, fixes a
variety of potential anonymity problems, and includes a huge pile of
other features and bug fixes.

Changes in version 0.2.1.17-rc - 2009-07-07
add blurbs for recent release candidates
2009-07-24 22:53:40 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.17-rc marks the fourth -- and hopefully last -- release
candidate for the 0.2.1.x series. It lays the groundwork for further
client performance improvements, and also fixes a big bug with directory
authorities that were causing them to assign Guard and Stable flags
poorly.
The Windows bundles also finally include the geoip database that we
thought we'd been shipping since 0.2.0.x (oops), and the OS X bundles
should actually install Torbutton rather than giving you a cryptic
failure message (oops).
Revise 0.2.1.17-rc changelog.
2009-07-02 16:13:01 +02:00
o Major features:
- Clients now use the bandwidth values in the consensus, rather than
the bandwidth values in each relay descriptor. This approach opens
the door to more accurate bandwidth estimates once the directory
authorities start doing active measurements. Implements more of
proposal 141.

o Major bugfixes:
Revise 0.2.1.17-rc changelog.
2009-07-02 16:13:01 +02:00
- When Tor clients restart after 1-5 days, they discard all their
cached descriptors as too old, but they still use the cached
consensus document. This approach is good for robustness, but
bad for performance: since they don't know any bandwidths, they
end up choosing at random rather than weighting their choice by
speed. Fixed by the above feature of putting bandwidths in the
consensus. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
and give the bug 969 fixes a changelog
2009-06-20 12:14:32 +02:00
- Directory authorities were neglecting to mark relays down in their
internal histories if the relays fall off the routerlist without
ever being found unreachable. So there were relays in the histories
that haven't been seen for eight months, and are listed as being
up for eight months. This wreaked havoc on the "median wfu"
and "median mtbf" calculations, in turn making Guard and Stable
flags very wrong, hurting network performance. Fixes bugs 696 and
969. Bugfix on 0.2.0.6-alpha.
Serve DirPortFrontPage even if the write bucket is low. arma's rationale: "I think this is a bug, since people intentionally set DirPortFrontPage, so they really do want their relay to serve that page when it's asked for. Having it appear only sometimes (or roughly never in Sebastian's case) makes it way less useful." Fixes bug 1013; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.

our quotas recently. Fixes bug 1013; bugfix on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
- The control port would close the connection before flushing long
replies, such as the network consensus, if a QUIT command was issued
before the reply had completed. Now, the control port flushes all
pending replies before closing the connection. Also fixed a spurious
warning when a QUIT command is issued after a malformed or rejected
AUTHENTICATE command, but before the connection was closed. Patch
by Marcus Griep. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x; fixes bugs 1015 and 1016.
Make an attempt to fix bug 1024. The internal error "could not find intro key" occurs when we want to send an INTRODUCE1 cell over a recently finished introduction circuit and think we built the introduction circuit with a v2 hidden service descriptor, but cannot find the introduction key in our descriptor. My first guess how we can end up in this situation is that we are wrong in thinking that we built the introduction circuit based on a v2 hidden service descriptor. This patch checks if we have a v0 descriptor, too, and uses that instead.
2009-06-30 20:35:03 +02:00
- When we can't find an intro key for a v2 hidden service descriptor,
fall back to the v0 hidden service descriptor and log a bug message.

Changes in version 0.2.0.35 - 2009-06-24
o Security fix:
- Avoid crashing in the presence of certain malformed descriptors.
Found by lark, and by automated fuzzing.
- Fix an edge case where a malicious exit relay could convince a
controller that the client's DNS question resolves to an internal IP
address. Bug found and fixed by "optimist"; bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
o Major bugfixes:
- Finally fix the bug where dynamic-IP relays disappear when their
IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling
them their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they
never got an accurate answer about their new address, so they
just vanished after a day. For belt-and-suspenders, relays that
don't set Address in their config now avoid using begin_dir for
all direct connections. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900.
- Fix a timing-dependent, allocator-dependent, DNS-related crash bug
that would occur on some exit nodes when DNS failures and timeouts
occurred in certain patterns. Fix for bug 957.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When starting with a cache over a few days old, do not leak
memory for the obsolete router descriptors in it. Bugfix on
0.2.0.33; fixes bug 672.
- Hidden service clients didn't use a cached service descriptor that
was older than 15 minutes, but wouldn't fetch a new one either,
because there was already one in the cache. Now, fetch a v2
descriptor unless the same descriptor was added to the cache within
the last 15 minutes. Fixes bug 997; reported by Marcus Griep.

Fix gprof bottlenecks on exit nodes found by Jacob. Apparently all the stuff that does a linear scan over all the DNS cache entries can get really expensive when your DNS cache is very large. It's hard to say how much this will help performance, since gprof doesn't count time spent in OpenSSL or zlib, but I'd guess 10%. Also, this patch removes calls to assert_connection_ok() from inside the read and write callbacks, which are similarly unneeded, and a little costlier than I'm happy with. This is probably worth backporting to 0.2.0.

o Minor features:
- Update to the "June 3 2009" ip-to-country file.
tor-resolve: Don't automatically refuse .onion addresses. If the Tor is running with AutomapHostsOnResolve set, it _is_ reasonable to do a DNS lookup on a .onion address. So instead we make tor-resolve willing to try to resolve anything. Only if Tor refuses to resolve it do we suggest to the user that resolving a .onion address may not work. Fix for bug 1005.
2009-06-18 17:08:10 +02:00
- Do not have tor-resolve automatically refuse all .onion addresses;

Harmless bug, since we currently don't care about the return value
anywhere. Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
Better debugging output for bug 977 case. (Don't crash immediately if we have leftover chunks to free after freeing chunks in a buffer freelist; instead log a debugging message that might help.)
2009-05-12 19:54:21 +02:00

one step beyond the end. Fixes a possible cause of bug 930.
Use a mutex to protect the count of open sockets. This matters because a cpuworker can close its socket when it finishes. Cpuworker typically runs in another thread, so without a lock here, we can have a race condition and get confused about how many sockets are open. Possible fix for bug 939.

Fix an assertion-failure in memarea_alloc() on 64-bit platforms. The trick is that we should assert that our next_mem pointer has not run off the end of the array _before_ we realign the pointer, since doing that could take us over the end... but only if we're on a system where malloc() gives us ram in increments smaller than sizeof(void*).

add the 0.2.1.14-rc blurb
2009-05-25 19:16:45 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.14-rc marks the first release candidate for the 0.2.1.x
series. It begins fixing some major performance problems, and also
finally addresses the bug that was causing relays on dynamic IP
addresses to fall out of the directory.
Clients replace entry guards that were chosen more than a few months ago. This change should significantly improve client performance, especially once more people upgrade, since relays that have been a guard for a long time are currently overloaded. svn:r19287

especially once more people upgrade, since relays that have been

Finally fix the bug where dynamic-IP relays disappear when their IP address changes: directory mirrors were mistakenly telling them their old address if they asked via begin_dir, so they never got an accurate answer about their new address, so they just vanished after a day. Should fix bugs 827, 883, and 900 -- but alas, only after every directory mirror has upgraded. svn:r19291

2009-03-13 05:47:12 +01:00
Tor 0.2.1.13-alpha includes another big pile of minor bugfixes and
cleanups. We're finally getting close to a release candidate.
Possible fix for broken country settings in ExcludeExitNodes. It turns out that we weren't updating the _ExcludeExitNodesUnion set's country numbers when we reloaded (or first loaded!) the IP-to-country file. Spotted by Lark. Bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha. svn:r18575
2009-02-16 16:15:06 +01:00

help to people who didn't use the startup script. Resolves bug 863.
Retry circuits if the exit node is optional and nonexistant. Previously, when we had the chosen_exit set but marked optional, and we failed because we couldn't find an onion key for it, we'd just give up on the circuit. But what we really want to do is try again, without the forced exit node. Spotted by rovv. Another case of bug 752. I think this might be unreachable in our current code, but proposal 158 could change that. svn:r18451

stop wanting that exit and try again. This situation may not
be possible now, but will probably become feasible with proposal
158. Spotted by rovv. Fixes another case of bug 752.
Clients and non-caches do not need to cache unrecognized authority certificates. svn:r18480
2009-02-10 21:28:30 +01:00

the RESOLVED cell. Bugfix on 0.1.2.5-alpha.

been suppressing the bug since 0.1.2.10-alpha. Partial fix for
bug 929.
Add and use set/get_uint64 on onion tags.

Changes in version 0.2.0.34 - 2009-02-08
Tor 0.2.0.34 features several more security-related fixes. You should
upgrade, especially if you run an exit relay (remote crash) or a
directory authority (remote infinite loop), or you're on an older
(pre-XP) or not-recently-patched Windows (remote exploit).
This release marks end-of-life for Tor 0.1.2.x. Those Tor versions
have many known flaws, and nobody should be using them. You should
upgrade. If you're using a Linux or BSD and its packages are obsolete,
stop using those packages and upgrade anyway.
o Security fixes:
- Fix an infinite-loop bug on handling corrupt votes under certain
circumstances. Bugfix on 0.2.0.8-alpha.
- Fix a temporary DoS vulnerability that could be performed by
a directory mirror. Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha; reported by lark.
- Avoid a potential crash on exit nodes when processing malformed
input. Remote DoS opportunity. Bugfix on 0.2.0.33.
- Do not accept incomplete ipv4 addresses (like 192.168.0) as valid.
Spec conformance issue. Bugfix on Tor 0.0.2pre27.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix compilation on systems where time_t is a 64-bit integer.

bug 893. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre20.
Don't obsolete a very-new connection for having no circuits yet. This fixes the last known case of bug 891, which could happen if two hosts, A and B, disagree about how long a circuit has been open, because of clock drift of some kind. Host A would then mark the connection as is_bad_for_new_circs when it got too old and open a new connection. In between when B receives a NETINFO cell on the new conn, and when B receives a conn cell on the new circuit, the new circuit will seem worse to B than the old one, and so B will mark it as is_bad_for_new_circs in the second or third loop of connection_or_group_set_badness().

C: Before the probe finishes, we reconfigure our nameservers, usually because we got a SIGHUP and the resolve.conf file changed. D: The probe reply comes back, or times out. (There is a five-second window for this, after B has happens).

Changes in version 0.2.0.33 - 2009-01-21
Tor 0.2.0.33 fixes a variety of bugs that were making relays less
useful to users. It also finally fixes a bug where a relay or client
that's been off for many days would take a long time to bootstrap.
This update also fixes an important security-related bug reported by
Ilja van Sprundel. You should upgrade. (We'll send out more details
about the bug once people have had some time to upgrade.)
o Security fixes:
- Fix a heap-corruption bug that may be remotely triggerable on
some platforms. Reported by Ilja van Sprundel.
o Major bugfixes:
- When a stream at an exit relay is in state "resolving" or
"connecting" and it receives an "end" relay cell, the exit relay
would silently ignore the end cell and not close the stream. If
the client never closes the circuit, then the exit relay never
closes the TCP connection. Bug introduced in Tor 0.1.2.1-alpha;
reported by "wood".
- When sending CREATED cells back for a given circuit, use a 64-bit
connection ID to find the right connection, rather than an addr:port
combination. Now that we can have multiple OR connections between
the same ORs, it is no longer possible to use addr:port to uniquely
identify a connection.
- Bridge relays that had DirPort set to 0 would stop fetching
descriptors shortly after startup, and then briefly resume
after a new bandwidth test and/or after publishing a new bridge
descriptor. Bridge users that try to bootstrap from them would
get a recent networkstatus but would get descriptors from up to
18 hours earlier, meaning most of the descriptors were obsolete
already. Reported by Tas; bugfix on 0.2.0.13-alpha.
- Prevent bridge relays from serving their 'extrainfo' document
to anybody who asks, now that extrainfo docs include potentially
sensitive aggregated client geoip summaries. Bugfix on
0.2.0.13-alpha.
- If the cached networkstatus consensus is more than five days old,
discard it rather than trying to use it. In theory it could be
useful because it lists alternate directory mirrors, but in practice
it just means we spend many minutes trying directory mirrors that
are long gone from the network. Also discard router descriptors as
we load them if they are more than five days old, since the onion
key is probably wrong by now. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x. Fixes bug 887.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Do not mark smartlist_bsearch_idx() function as ATTR_PURE. This bug
could make gcc generate non-functional binary search code. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Build correctly on platforms without socklen_t.
- Compile without warnings on solaris.
- Avoid potential crash on internal error during signature collection.
Fixes bug 864. Patch from rovv.
- Correct handling of possible malformed authority signing key
certificates with internal signature types. Fixes bug 880.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
- Fix a hard-to-trigger resource leak when logging credential status.
CID 349.
- When we can't initialize DNS because the network is down, do not
automatically stop Tor from starting. Instead, we retry failed
dns_init() every 10 minutes, and change the exit policy to reject
*:* until one succeeds. Fixes bug 691.
- Use 64 bits instead of 32 bits for connection identifiers used with
the controller protocol, to greatly reduce risk of identifier reuse.
- When we're choosing an exit node for a circuit, and we have
no pending streams, choose a good general exit rather than one that
supports "all the pending streams". Bugfix on 0.1.1.x. Fix by rovv.
- Fix another case of assuming, when a specific exit is requested,
that we know more than the user about what hosts it allows.
Fixes one case of bug 752. Patch from rovv.
- Clip the MaxCircuitDirtiness config option to a minimum of 10
seconds. Warn the user if lower values are given in the
configuration. Bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. Patch by Sebastian.
- Clip the CircuitBuildTimeout to a minimum of 30 seconds. Warn the
user if lower values are given in the configuration. Bugfix on
0.1.1.17-rc. Patch by Sebastian.
- Fix a memory leak when we decline to add a v2 rendezvous descriptor to
the cache because we already had a v0 descriptor with the same ID.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha.
- Fix a race condition when freeing keys shared between main thread
and CPU workers that could result in a memory leak. Bugfix on
0.1.0.1-rc. Fixes bug 889.
- Send a valid END cell back when a client tries to connect to a
nonexistent hidden service port. Bugfix on 0.1.2.15. Fixes bug
840. Patch from rovv.
- Check which hops rendezvous stream cells are associated with to
prevent possible guess-the-streamid injection attacks from
intermediate hops. Fixes another case of bug 446. Based on patch
from rovv.
- If a broken client asks a non-exit router to connect somewhere,
do not even do the DNS lookup before rejecting the connection.
Fixes another case of bug 619. Patch from rovv.
- When a relay gets a create cell it can't decrypt (e.g. because it's
using the wrong onion key), we were dropping it and letting the
client time out. Now actually answer with a destroy cell. Fixes
bug 904. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre8.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Do not throw away existing introduction points on SIGHUP. Bugfix on
0.0.6pre1. Patch by Karsten. Fixes bug 874.
o Minor features:
- Report the case where all signatures in a detached set are rejected
differently than the case where there is an error handling the
detached set.
- When we realize that another process has modified our cached
descriptors, print out a more useful error message rather than
triggering an assertion. Fixes bug 885. Patch from Karsten.
- Implement the 0x20 hack to better resist DNS poisoning: set the
case on outgoing DNS requests randomly, and reject responses that do
not match the case correctly. This logic can be disabled with the
ServerDNSRamdomizeCase setting, if you are using one of the 0.3%
of servers that do not reliably preserve case in replies. See
"Increased DNS Forgery Resistance through 0x20-Bit Encoding"
for more info.
- Check DNS replies for more matching fields to better resist DNS
poisoning.
- Never use OpenSSL compression: it wastes RAM and CPU trying to
compress cells, which are basically all encrypted, compressed, or
both.

Tor 0.2.1.10-alpha fixes two major bugs in bridge relays (one that
would make the bridge relay not so useful if it had DirPort set to 0,
and one that could let an attacker learn a little bit of information
about the bridge's users), and a bug that would cause your Tor relay
to ignore a circuit create request it can't decrypt (rather than reply
with an error). It also fixes a wide variety of other bugs.

- When we're sending non-EXTEND cells to the first hop in a circuit,
for example to use an encrypted directory connection, we don't need
to use RELAY_EARLY cells: the first hop knows what kind of cell
it is, and nobody else can even see the cell type. Conserving
RELAY_EARLY cells makes it easier to cannibalize circuits like
this later.
- Stop logging nameserver addresses in reverse order.
- If we are retrying a directory download slowly over and over, do
not automatically give up after the 254th failure. Bugfix on
0.2.1.9-alpha.

Implement proposal 148: Make client stream end reasons uniform. This patch makes every RELAY_COMMAND_END cell that we send pass through one of two functions: connection_edge_end and relay_send_end_cell_from_edge. Both of these functions check the circuit purpose, and change the reason to MISC if the circuit purpose means that it's for client use. svn:r17612

o Major features:
- New DirPortFrontPage option that takes an html file and publishes
it as "/" on the DirPort. Now relay operators can provide a
disclaimer without needing to set up a separate webserver. There's
a sample disclaimer in contrib/tor-exit-notice.html.

When the client is choosing entry guards, now it selects at most one guard from a given relay family. Otherwise we could end up with all of our entry points into the network run by the same operator. Suggested by Camilo Viecco. Fix on 0.1.1.11-alpha. Not a backport candidate, since I think this might break for users who only have a given /16 in their reachableaddresses, or something like that. svn:r17514

Tor 0.2.0.32 fixes a major security problem in Debian and Ubuntu
packages (and maybe other packages) noticed by Theo de Raadt, fixes
a smaller security flaw that might allow an attacker to access local
services, further improves hidden service performance, and fixes a
variety of other issues.
and forward-port those svn:r17359
2008-11-22 06:14:12 +01:00
o Security fixes:
- The "User" and "Group" config options did not clear the
supplementary group entries for the Tor process. The "User" option
is now more robust, and we now set the groups to the specified
user's primary group. The "Group" option is now ignored. For more
detailed logging on credential switching, set CREDENTIAL_LOG_LEVEL
in common/compat.c to LOG_NOTICE or higher. Patch by Jacob Appelbaum
and Steven Murdoch. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre14. Fixes bug 848 and 857.
- The "ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses" config option wasn't being
consistently obeyed: if an exit relay refuses a stream because its
exit policy doesn't allow it, we would remember what IP address
the relay said the destination address resolves to, even if it's
an internal IP address. Bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha; patch by rovv.
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a DOS opportunity during the voting signature collection process
at directory authorities. Spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- When fetching v0 and v2 rendezvous service descriptors in parallel,
we were failing the whole hidden service request when the v0
descriptor fetch fails, even if the v2 fetch is still pending and
might succeed. Similarly, if the last v2 fetch fails, we were
failing the whole hidden service request even if a v0 fetch is
still pending. Fixes bug 814. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- When extending a circuit to a hidden service directory to upload a
rendezvous descriptor using a BEGIN_DIR cell, almost 1/6 of all
requests failed, because the router descriptor has not been
downloaded yet. In these cases, do not attempt to upload the
rendezvous descriptor, but wait until the router descriptor is
downloaded and retry. Likewise, do not attempt to fetch a rendezvous
descriptor from a hidden service directory for which the router
descriptor has not yet been downloaded. Fixes bug 767. Bugfix
on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix several infrequent memory leaks spotted by Coverity.
- When testing for libevent functions, set the LDFLAGS variable
correctly. Found by Riastradh.
- Avoid a bug where the FastFirstHopPK 0 option would keep Tor from
bootstrapping with tunneled directory connections. Bugfix on
0.1.2.5-alpha. Fixes bug 797. Found by Erwin Lam.
- When asked to connect to A.B.exit:80, if we don't know the IP for A
and we know that server B rejects most-but-not all connections to
port 80, we would previously reject the connection. Now, we assume
the user knows what they were asking for. Fixes bug 752. Bugfix
on 0.0.9rc5. Diagnosed by BarkerJr.
- If we overrun our per-second write limits a little, count this as
having used up our write allocation for the second, and choke
outgoing directory writes. Previously, we had only counted this when
we had met our limits precisely. Fixes bug 824. Patch from by rovv.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.x (??).
- Remove the old v2 directory authority 'lefkada' from the default
list. It has been gone for many months.
- Stop doing unaligned memory access that generated bus errors on
sparc64. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha. Fixes bug 862.
- Make USR2 log-level switch take effect immediately. Bugfix on
0.1.2.8-beta.
o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- Make DNS resolved events into "CLOSED", not "FAILED". Bugfix on
0.1.2.5-alpha. Fix by Robert Hogan. Resolves bug 807.

to send INTRODUCE cells to the service, or even (depending on the
type of authentication) to learn introduction points. This feature
raises the bar for certain kinds of active attacks against hidden
services. Code by Karsten Loesing.
- Relays now store and serve v2 hidden service descriptors by default,
i.e., the new default value for HidServDirectoryV2 is 1. This is
the last step in proposal 114, which aims to make hidden service
lookups more reliable.

- Start work to allow node restrictions to include country codes. The
syntax to exclude nodes in a country with country code XX is
"ExcludeNodes {XX}". Patch from Robert Hogan. It still needs some
refinement to decide what config options should take priority if
you ask to both use a particular node and exclude it.

requests failed, because the router descriptor had not been
downloaded yet. In these cases, we now wait until the router
descriptor is downloaded, and then retry. Likewise, clients
now skip over a hidden service directory if they don't yet have
its router descriptor, rather than futilely requesting it and
putting mysterious complaints in the logs. Fixes bug 767. Bugfix

- When fetching v0 and v2 rendezvous service descriptors in parallel,
we were failing the whole hidden service request when the v0
descriptor fetch fails, even if the v2 fetch is still pending and
might succeed. Similarly, if the last v2 fetch fails, we were
failing the whole hidden service request even if a v0 fetch is
still pending. Fixes bug 814. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- DNS replies need to have names matching their requests, but
these names should be in the questions section, not necessarily
in the answers section. Fixes bug 823. Bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.

o Minor features:
- Update to the "September 1 2008" ip-to-country file.
- Allow ports 465 and 587 in the default exit policy again. We had
rejected them in 0.1.0.15, because back in 2005 they were commonly
misconfigured and ended up as spam targets. We hear they are better
locked down these days.
- Use a lockfile to make sure that two Tor processes are not
simultaneously running with the same datadir.
- Serve the latest v3 networkstatus consensus via the control
port. Use "getinfo dir/status-vote/current/consensus" to fetch it.
- Better logging about stability/reliability calculations on directory
servers.
- Drop the requirement to have an open dir port for storing and
serving v2 hidden service descriptors.
- Directory authorities now serve a /tor/dbg-stability.txt URL to
help debug WFU and MTBF calculations.
- Implement most of Proposal 152: allow specialized servers to permit
single-hop circuits, and clients to use those servers to build
single-hop circuits when using a specialized controller. Patch
from Josh Albrecht. Resolves feature request 768.
Make tor-resolve take a -p port option in addition to the current host:port syntax. svn:r17002
2008-09-29 16:18:47 +02:00
- Add a -p option to tor-resolve for specifying the SOCKS port: some
people find host:port too confusing.

Changes in version 0.2.0.31 - 2008-09-03
Tor 0.2.0.31 addresses two potential anonymity issues, starts to fix
a big bug we're seeing where in rare cases traffic from one Tor stream
gets mixed into another stream, and fixes a variety of smaller issues.
o Major bugfixes:
- Make sure that two circuits can never exist on the same connection
with the same circuit ID, even if one is marked for close. This
is conceivably a bugfix for bug 779. Bugfix on 0.1.0.4-rc.
- Relays now reject risky extend cells: if the extend cell includes
a digest of all zeroes, or asks to extend back to the relay that
sent the extend cell, tear down the circuit. Ideas suggested
by rovv.
- If not enough of our entry guards are available so we add a new
one, we might use the new one even if it overlapped with the
current circuit's exit relay (or its family). Anonymity bugfix
pointed out by rovv.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Recover 3-7 bytes that were wasted per memory chunk. Fixes bug
794; bug spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Correctly detect the presence of the linux/netfilter_ipv4.h header
when building against recent kernels. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
- Pick size of default geoip filename string correctly on windows.
Fixes bug 806. Bugfix on 0.2.0.30.
- Make the autoconf script accept the obsolete --with-ssl-dir
option as an alias for the actually-working --with-openssl-dir
option. Fix the help documentation to recommend --with-openssl-dir.
Based on a patch by "Dave". Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- When using the TransPort option on OpenBSD, and using the User
option to change UID and drop privileges, make sure to open
/dev/pf before dropping privileges. Fixes bug 782. Patch from
Christopher Davis. Bugfix on 0.1.2.1-alpha.
- Try to attach connections immediately upon receiving a RENDEZVOUS2
or RENDEZVOUS_ESTABLISHED cell. This can save a second or two
on the client side when connecting to a hidden service. Bugfix
on 0.0.6pre1. Found and fixed by Christian Wilms; resolves bug 743.
- When closing an application-side connection because its circuit is
getting torn down, generate the stream event correctly. Bugfix on
0.1.2.x. Anonymous patch.

and here too svn:r16835
2008-09-10 21:08:46 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.5-alpha moves us closer to handling IPv6 destinations, puts
in a lot of the infrastructure for adding authorization to hidden
services, lays the groundwork for having clients read their load
balancing information out of the networkstatus consensus rather than
the individual router descriptors, addresses two potential anonymity
issues, and fixes a variety of smaller issues.

o Major features:

2008-08-05 22:08:19 +02:00
- Convert many internal address representations to optionally hold

step is to actually access hidden services that perform client
authorization.
- More progress toward proposal 141: Network status consensus
documents and votes now contain bandwidth information for each
router and a summary of that router's exit policy. Eventually this
will be used by clients so that they do not have to download every
known descriptor before building circuits.

2008-08-05 02:00:35 +02:00
- The address part of exit policies was not correctly written
to router descriptors. This generated router descriptors that failed
their self-checks. Noticed by phobos, fixed by Karsten. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.3-alpha.
- Tor triggered a false assert when extending a circuit to a relay
but we already have a connection open to that relay. Noticed by
phobos, fixed by Karsten. Bugfix on 0.2.1.3-alpha.

complaining that it has become obsolete. Observed by xiando. Bugfix

and here too svn:r16835
2008-09-10 21:08:46 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.3-alpha implements most of the pieces to prevent
infinite-length circuit attacks (see proposal 110); fixes a bug that
might cause exit relays to corrupt streams they send back; allows
address patterns (e.g. 255.128.0.0/16) to appear in ExcludeNodes and
ExcludeExitNodes config options; and fixes a big pile of bugs.

reason is NO_ROUTE (that is, our network is down).

2008-12-30 03:03:23 +01:00
- Implement most of proposal 110: The first K cells to be sent
along a circuit are marked as special "early" cells; only K "early"
cells will be allowed. Once this code is universal, we can block
certain kinds of DOS attack by requiring that EXTEND commands must
be sent using an "early" cell.

o Major bugfixes:
- If you have more than one bridge but don't know their keys,
you would only launch a request for the descriptor of the first one
on your list. (Tor considered launching requests for the others, but
found that it already had a connection on the way for $0000...0000
so it didn't open another.) Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- If you have more than one bridge but don't know their keys, and the
connection to one of the bridges failed, you would cancel all
pending bridge connections. (After all, they all have the same
digest.) Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- When a hidden service was trying to establish an introduction point,
and Tor had built circuits preemptively for such purposes, we
were ignoring all the preemptive circuits and launching a new one
instead. Bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
- When a hidden service was trying to establish an introduction point,
and Tor *did* manage to reuse one of the preemptively built
circuits, it didn't correctly remember which one it used,
so it asked for another one soon after, until there were no
more preemptive circuits, at which point it launched one from
scratch. Bugfix on 0.0.9.x.
- Make directory servers include the X-Your-Address-Is: http header in
their responses even for begin_dir conns. Now clients who only
ever use begin_dir connections still have a way to learn their IP
address. Fixes bug 737; bugfix on 0.2.0.22-rc. Reported by goldy.

put in some of the release summaries svn:r15535
2008-06-28 06:23:26 +02:00
Tor 0.2.1.1-alpha fixes a lot of memory fragmentation problems that
were making the Tor process bloat especially on Linux; makes our TLS
handshake blend in better; sends "bootstrap phase" status events to
the controller, so it can keep the user informed of progress (and
problems) fetching directory information and establishing circuits;
and adds a variety of smaller features.
fix a few typos, and give the bootstrap phase stuff a changelog entry. svn:r15183
2008-06-13 06:26:05 +02:00
o Major features:
make some of the 0.2.1.1-alpha changelog items more prominent svn:r15186
2008-06-13 07:13:22 +02:00
- More work on making our TLS handshake blend in: modify the list
of ciphers advertised by OpenSSL in client mode to even more
closely resemble a common web browser. We cheat a little so that
we can advertise ciphers that the locally installed OpenSSL doesn't
know about.
fix a few typos, and give the bootstrap phase stuff a changelog entry. svn:r15183
2008-06-13 06:26:05 +02:00
- Start sending "bootstrap phase" status events to the controller,
so it can keep the user informed of progress fetching directory
information and establishing circuits. Also inform the controller
if we think we're stuck at a particular bootstrap phase. Implements
proposal 137.
make some of the 0.2.1.1-alpha changelog items more prominent svn:r15186
2008-06-13 07:13:22 +02:00
- Resume using OpenSSL's RAND_poll() for better (and more portable)
cross-platform entropy collection again. We used to use it, then
stopped using it because of a bug that could crash systems that
called RAND_poll when they had a lot of fds open. It looks like the
bug got fixed in late 2006. Our new behavior is to call RAND_poll()
at startup, and to call RAND_poll() when we reseed later only if
we have a non-buggy OpenSSL version.
o Major bugfixes:
- When we choose to abandon a new entry guard because we think our
older ones might be better, close any circuits pending on that
steal some of the bootstrap phase strings from vidalia svn:r15193
2008-06-13 08:23:46 +02:00

faster when our network is down and then comes back. Bugfix on

o Memory fixes and improvements:
- Add a malloc_good_size implementation to OpenBSD_malloc_linux.c,
to avoid unused RAM in buffer chunks and memory pools.
- Speed up parsing and cut down on memory fragmentation by using
stack-style allocations for parsing directory objects. Previously,
this accounted for over 40% of allocations from within Tor's code
on a typical directory cache.
- Use a Bloom filter rather than a digest-based set to track which
descriptors we need to keep around when we're cleaning out old
router descriptors. This speeds up the computation significantly,
and may reduce fragmentation.
- Reduce the default smartlist size from 32 to 16; it turns out that
most smartlists hold around 8-12 elements tops.
- Make dumpstats() log the fullness and size of openssl-internal
buffers.
- If the user has applied the experimental SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS
patch to their OpenSSL, turn it on to save memory on servers. This
patch will (with any luck) get included in a mainline distribution
before too long.
make some of the 0.2.1.1-alpha changelog items more prominent svn:r15186
2008-06-13 07:13:22 +02:00
- Never use OpenSSL compression: it wastes RAM and CPU trying to
compress cells, which are basically all encrypted, compressed,
or both.

2008-02-27 20:19:34 +01:00
o Minor bugfixes:
Stop reloading the router list from disk for no reason when we run out of reachable directory mirrors. Once upon a time reloading it would set the 'is_running' flag back to 1 for them. It hasn't done that for a long time. svn:r15004

Tor 0.2.0.28-rc fixes an anonymity-related bug, fixes a hidden-service
performance bug, and fixes a bunch of smaller bugs.
forward-port the 0.2.0.28-rc changelog svn:r15194
2008-06-13 08:40:36 +02:00
o Anonymity fixes:
- Fix a bug where, when we were choosing the 'end stream reason' to
put in our relay end cell that we send to the exit relay, Tor
clients on Windows were sometimes sending the wrong 'reason'. The
anonymity problem is that exit relays may be able to guess whether
the client is running Windows, thus helping partition the anonymity
set. Down the road we should stop sending reasons to exit relays,
or otherwise prevent future versions of this bug.
o Major bugfixes:
- While setting up a hidden service, some valid introduction circuits
were overlooked and abandoned. This might be the reason for
the long delay in making a hidden service available. Bugfix on
When establishing a hidden service, introduction points that originate from cannibalized circuits are completely ignored and not included in rendezvous service descriptors. Bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha. Backport candidate. svn:r15332

o Minor features:
- Update to the "June 9 2008" ip-to-country file.
- Run 'make test' as part of 'make dist', so we stop releasing so
many development snapshots that fail their unit tests.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When we're checking if we have enough dir info for each relay
to begin establishing circuits, make sure that we actually have
the descriptor listed in the consensus, not just any descriptor.

2008-06-28 06:23:26 +02:00
Tor 0.2.0.27-rc adds a few features we left out of the earlier
release candidates. In particular, we now include an IP-to-country
GeoIP database, so controllers can easily look up what country a
given relay is in, and so bridge relays can give us some sanitized
summaries about which countries are making use of bridges. (See proposal
126-geoip-fetching.txt for details.)
forward-port the 0.2.0.27-rc changelog svn:r14967
2008-06-05 08:27:58 +02:00
o Major features:
- Include an IP-to-country GeoIP file in the tarball, so bridge
relays can report sanitized summaries of the usage they're seeing.
o Minor features:
- Add a "PURPOSE=" argument to "STREAM NEW" events, as suggested by
Robert Hogan. Fixes the first part of bug 681.
- Make bridge authorities never serve extrainfo docs.
- Add support to detect Libevent versions in the 1.4.x series
on mingw.
- Fix build on gcc 4.3 with --enable-gcc-warnings set.
- Include a new contrib/tor-exit-notice.html file that exit relay
operators can put on their website to help reduce abuse queries.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When tunneling an encrypted directory connection, and its first
circuit fails, do not leave it unattached and ask the controller
to deal. Fixes the second part of bug 681.
- Make bridge authorities correctly expire old extrainfo documents
from time to time.

Changes in version 0.2.0.26-rc - 2008-05-13
Tor 0.2.0.26-rc fixes a major security vulnerability caused by a bug
in Debian's OpenSSL packages. All users running any 0.2.0.x version
should upgrade, whether they're running Debian or not.
o Major security fixes:
- Use new V3 directory authority keys on the tor26, gabelmoo, and
moria1 V3 directory authorities. The old keys were generated with
a vulnerable version of Debian's OpenSSL package, and must be
considered compromised. Other authorities' keys were not generated
with an affected version of OpenSSL.
o Major bugfixes:
- List authority signatures as "unrecognized" based on DirServer
lines, not on cert cache. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
o Minor features:
- Add a new V3AuthUseLegacyKey option to make it easier for
authorities to change their identity keys if they have to.

Changes in version 0.2.0.25-rc - 2008-04-23
Tor 0.2.0.25-rc makes Tor work again on OS X and certain BSDs.
o Major bugfixes:
- Remember to initialize threading before initializing logging.
Otherwise, many BSD-family implementations will crash hard on
startup. Fixes bug 671. Bugfix on 0.2.0.24-rc.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Authorities correctly free policies on bad servers on
exit. Fixes bug 672. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
Changes in version 0.2.0.24-rc - 2008-04-22
Tor 0.2.0.24-rc adds dizum (run by Alex de Joode) as the new sixth
v3 directory authority, makes relays with dynamic IP addresses and no
DirPort notice more quickly when their IP address changes, fixes a few
rare crashes and memory leaks, and fixes a few other miscellaneous bugs.
o New directory authorities:
- Take lefkada out of the list of v3 directory authorities, since
it has been down for months.
- Set up dizum (run by Alex de Joode) as the new sixth v3 directory
authority.
o Major bugfixes:
- Detect address changes more quickly on non-directory mirror
relays. Bugfix on 0.2.0.18-alpha; fixes bug 652.
o Minor features (security):
- Reject requests for reverse-dns lookup of names that are in
a private address space. Patch from lodger.
- Non-exit relays no longer allow DNS requests. Fixes bug 619. Patch
from lodger.
o Minor bugfixes (crashes):
- Avoid a rare assert that can trigger when Tor doesn't have much
directory information yet and it tries to fetch a v2 hidden
service descriptor. Fixes bug 651, reported by nwf.
- Initialize log mutex before initializing dmalloc. Otherwise,
running with dmalloc would crash. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x-alpha.
- Use recursive pthread mutexes in order to avoid deadlock when
logging debug-level messages to a controller. Bug spotted by nwf,
bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (resource management):
- Keep address policies from leaking memory: start their refcount
at 1, not 2. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
- Free authority certificates on exit, so they don't look like memory
leaks. Bugfix on 0.2.0.19-alpha.
- Free static hashtables for policy maps and for TLS connections on
shutdown, so they don't look like memory leaks. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- Avoid allocating extra space when computing consensuses on 64-bit
platforms. Bug spotted by aakova.
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- Do not read the configuration file when we've only been told to
generate a password hash. Fixes bug 643. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5. Fix
based on patch from Sebastian Hahn.
- Exit relays that are used as a client can now reach themselves
using the .exit notation, rather than just launching an infinite
pile of circuits. Fixes bug 641. Reported by Sebastian Hahn.
- When attempting to open a logfile fails, tell us why.
- Fix a dumb bug that was preventing us from knowing that we should
preemptively build circuits to handle expected directory requests.
Fixes bug 660. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.
- Warn less verbosely about clock skew from netinfo cells from
untrusted sources. Fixes bug 663.
- Make controller stream events for DNS requests more consistent,
by adding "new stream" events for DNS requests, and removing
spurious "stream closed" events" for cached reverse resolves.
Patch from mwenge. Fixes bug 646.
- Correctly notify one-hop connections when a circuit build has
failed. Possible fix for bug 669. Found by lodger.

Tor 0.2.0.23-rc is the fourth release candidate for the 0.2.0 series. It
makes bootstrapping faster if the first directory mirror you contact
and forward-port that svn:r14352

o Major bugfixes:
- When a tunneled directory request is made to a directory server
that's down, notice after 30 seconds rather than 120 seconds. Also,
fail any begindir streams that are pending on it, so they can
retry elsewhere. This was causing multi-minute delays on bootstrap.

and forward-port that svn:r14352
2008-04-11 05:43:16 +02:00
Tor 0.2.0.22-rc is the third release candidate for the 0.2.0 series. It
enables encrypted directory connections by default for non-relays, fixes
some broken TLS behavior we added in 0.2.0.20-rc, and resolves many
other bugs. The bundles also include Vidalia 0.1.1 and Torbutton 1.1.17.
forward-port the 0.2.0.22-rc changelog entry, plus remove some duplicate items. svn:r14086

2008-03-19 01:23:07 +01:00
- Enable encrypted directory connections by default for non-relays,
so censor tools that block Tor directory connections based on their
plaintext patterns will no longer work. This means Tor works in
certain censored countries by default again.

the middle of client-side TLS renegotiation. Fixes bug 622. Bug
diagnosed by lodger; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc.

o Minor bugfixes (on 0.1.2.x):
- Generate "STATUS_SERVER" events rather than misspelled
"STATUS_SEVER" events. Caught by mwenge.
- When counting the number of bytes written on a TLS connection,
look at the BIO actually used for writing to the network, not
at the BIO used (sometimes) to buffer data for the network.
Looking at different BIOs could result in write counts on the
order of ULONG_MAX. Fixes bug 614.

2008-03-18 03:39:34 +01:00
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.0.x):
- Downgrade "sslv3 alert handshake failure" message to INFO.
- If we set RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst very high but
left BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst at the default, we would be
silently limited by those defaults. Now raise them to match the
RelayBandwidth* values.
- Fix the SVK version detection logic to work correctly on a branch.
- Make --enable-openbsd-malloc work correctly on Linux with alpha
CPUs. Fixes bug 625.
- Logging functions now check that the passed severity is sane.
- Use proper log levels in the testsuite call of
get_interface_address6().
- When using a nonstandard malloc, do not use the platform values for
HAVE_MALLOC_GOOD_SIZE or HAVE_MALLOC_USABLE_SIZE.
- Make the openbsd malloc code use 8k pages on alpha CPUs and
16k pages on ia64.
- Detect mismatched page sizes when using --enable-openbsd-malloc.
- Avoid double-marked-for-close warning when certain kinds of invalid
.in-addr.arpa addresses are passed to the DNSPort. Part of a fix
for bug 617. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
- Make sure that the "NULL-means-reject *:*" convention is followed by
all the policy manipulation functions, avoiding some possible crash
bugs. Bug found by lodger. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.

- The control port should declare that it requires password auth
when HashedControlSessionPassword is set too. Patch from Matt Edman;
bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Fixes bug 615.
- Downgrade assert in connection_buckets_decrement() to a log message.
This may help us solve bug 614, and in any case will make its
symptoms less severe. Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Reported by fredzupy.
- We were sometimes miscounting the number of bytes read from the
network, causing our rate limiting to not be followed exactly.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by lodger.
o Minor bugfixes:
When a relay gets a create cell it can't decrypt (e.g. because it's using the wrong onion key), we were dropping it and letting the client time out. Now actually answer with a destroy cell. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre8. svn:r17970
2009-01-06 20:03:15 +01:00
- Fix compilation with OpenSSL 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a. All other supported
OpenSSL versions should have been working fine. Diagnosis and patch

a blurb for 0.2.0.20-rc svn:r13732
2008-02-26 04:11:37 +01:00
Tor 0.2.0.20-rc is the first release candidate for the 0.2.0 series. It
makes more progress towards normalizing Tor's TLS handshake, makes
hidden services work better again, helps relays bootstrap if they don't
know their IP address, adds optional support for linking in openbsd's
allocator or tcmalloc, allows really fast relays to scale past 15000
sockets, and fixes a bunch of minor bugs reported by Veracode.
Start choosing which bridge to use proportional to its advertised bandwidth, rather than uniformly at random. This should speed up Tor for bridge users. Also do this for people who set StrictEntryNodes. svn:r13486

bump to 0.2.0.20-rc svn:r13715
2008-02-25 01:39:58 +01:00
proposal 105. The new handshake is meant to be harder for censors
to fingerprint, and it adds the ability to detect certain kinds of
man-in-the-middle traffic analysis attacks. The version negotiation
feature will allow us to improve Tor's link protocol more safely
in the future.
- Choose which bridge to use proportional to its advertised bandwidth,
rather than uniformly at random. This should speed up Tor for
bridge users. Also do this for people who set StrictEntryNodes.
- When a TrackHostExits-chosen exit fails too many times in a row,
stop using it. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x; fixes bug 437.

o Major bugfixes:
- Resolved problems with (re-)fetching hidden service descriptors.
Patch from Karsten Loesing; fixes problems with 0.2.0.18-alpha
and 0.2.0.19-alpha.
If we only ever used Tor for hidden service lookups or posts, we would stop building circuits and start refusing connections after 24 hours, since we false believed that Tor was dormant. Reported by nwf; bugfix on 0.1.2.x. svn:r13583

- When counting the number of open sockets, count not only the number
of sockets we have received from the socket() call, but also
the number we've gotten from accept() and socketpair(). This bug
made us fail to count all sockets that we were using for incoming
connections. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- Fix code used to find strings within buffers, when those strings
are not in the first chunk of the buffer. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- Fix potential segfault when parsing HTTP headers. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
- Add a new __HashedControlSessionPassword option for controllers
to use for one-off session password hashes that shouldn't get
saved to disk by SAVECONF --- Vidalia users were accumulating a
pile of HashedControlPassword lines in their torrc files, one for
each time they had restarted Tor and then clicked Save. Make Tor
automatically convert "HashedControlPassword" to this new option but
only when it's given on the command line. Partial fix for bug 586.

2008-02-12 06:18:24 +01:00
Tor 0.2.0.19-alpha makes more progress towards normalizing Tor's TLS
handshake, makes path selection for relays more secure and IP address
guessing more robust, and generally fixes a lot of bugs in preparation
for calling the 0.2.0 branch stable.

o Major features:
- Do not include recognizeable strings in the commonname part of
Tor's x509 certificates.
o Major bugfixes:
- If we're a relay, avoid picking ourselves as an introduction point,
a rendezvous point, or as the final hop for internal circuits. Bug
reported by taranis and lodger. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.
- Patch from "Andrew S. Lists" to catch when we contact a directory
mirror at IP address X and he says we look like we're coming from
IP address X. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.
o Minor features (security):
- Be more paranoid about overwriting sensitive memory on free(),
as a defensive programming tactic to ensure forward secrecy.

Changes in version 0.1.2.19 - 2008-01-17
Tor 0.1.2.19 fixes a huge memory leak on exit relays, makes the default
exit policy a little bit more conservative so it's safer to run an
exit relay on a home system, and fixes a variety of smaller issues.
o Security fixes:
- Exit policies now reject connections that are addressed to a
relay's public (external) IP address too, unless
ExitPolicyRejectPrivate is turned off. We do this because too
many relays are running nearby to services that trust them based
on network address.
o Major bugfixes:
- When the clock jumps forward a lot, do not allow the bandwidth
buckets to become negative. Fixes bug 544.
- Fix a memory leak on exit relays; we were leaking a cached_resolve_t
on every successful resolve. Reported by Mike Perry.
- Purge old entries from the "rephist" database and the hidden
service descriptor database even when DirPort is zero.
- Stop thinking that 0.1.2.x directory servers can handle "begin_dir"
requests. Should ease bugs 406 and 419 where 0.1.2.x relays are
crashing or mis-answering these requests.
- When we decide to send a 503 response to a request for servers, do
not then also send the server descriptors: this defeats the whole
purpose. Fixes bug 539.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Changing the ExitPolicyRejectPrivate setting should cause us to
rebuild our server descriptor.
- Fix handling of hex nicknames when answering controller requests for
networkstatus by name, or when deciding whether to warn about
unknown routers in a config option. (Patch from mwenge.)
- Fix a couple of hard-to-trigger autoconf problems that could result
in really weird results on platforms whose sys/types.h files define
nonstandard integer types.
- Don't try to create the datadir when running --verify-config or
--hash-password. Resolves bug 540.
- If we were having problems getting a particular descriptor from the
directory caches, and then we learned about a new descriptor for
that router, we weren't resetting our failure count. Reported
by lodger.
- Although we fixed bug 539 (where servers would send HTTP status 503
responses _and_ send a body too), there are still servers out there
that haven't upgraded. Therefore, make clients parse such bodies
when they receive them.
- Run correctly on systems where rlim_t is larger than unsigned long.
This includes some 64-bit systems.
- Run correctly on platforms (like some versions of OS X 10.5) where
the real limit for number of open files is OPEN_FILES, not rlim_max
from getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILES).
- Avoid a spurious free on base64 failure.
- Avoid segfaults on certain complex invocations of
router_get_by_hexdigest().
- Fix rare bug on REDIRECTSTREAM control command when called with no
port set: it could erroneously report an error when none had
happened.

Tor 0.2.0.14-alpha and 0.2.0.15-alpha fix a bunch of bugs with the
features added in 0.2.0.13-alpha.
Fix several remotely triggerable asserts based on DirPort requests for a v2 or v3 networkstatus object before we were prepared.

- Tor can now be configured to read a GeoIP file from disk in one
of two formats. This can be used by controllers to map IP addresses
to countries. Eventually, it may support exit-by-country.
- When possible, bridge relays remember which countries users
are coming from, and report aggregate information in their
extra-info documents, so that the bridge authorities can learn
where Tor is blocked.
- Bridge directory authorities now do reachability testing on the
bridges they know. They provide router status summaries to the

This eleventh development snapshot fixes some build problems with
the previous snapshot. It also includes a more secure-by-default exit
policy for relays, fixes an enormous memory leak for exit relays, and
fixes another bug where servers were falling out of the directory list.
Exit policies now reject connections that are addressed to a relay's public (external) IP address too, unless ExitPolicyRejectPrivate is turned off. We do this because too many relays are running nearby to services that trust them based on network address. svn:r12459

because they're listed in the consensus. This created a catch-22
where we wouldn't list a new descriptor because there was an
old one in the consensus, and we couldn't get the new one in the
consensus because we wouldn't list it. Possible fix for bug 548.
Also, this might cause bug 543 to appear on authorities; if so,
we'll need a band-aid for that. Bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.

2007-11-17 08:15:56 +01:00
This tenth development snapshot adds a third v3 directory authority
run by Mike Perry, adds most of Karsten Loesing's new hidden service
descriptor format, fixes a bad crash bug and new bridge bugs introduced
in 0.2.0.9-alpha, fixes many bugs with the v3 directory implementation,
fixes some minor memory leaks in previous 0.2.0.x snapshots, and
addresses many more minor issues.
Set up ides (run by Mike Perry) as the third v3 directory authority. svn:r12423
2007-11-07 22:20:45 +01:00
o New directory authorities:
- Set up ides (run by Mike Perry) as the third v3 directory authority.
Separate "SOCKS_COMMAND_CONNECT_DIR" into two flags in edge_connection_t: want_onehop if it must attach to a circuit with only one hop (e.g. for the current tunnelled connections that use begin_dir), and use_begindir if we mean to use a BEGIN_DIR relay command to establish the stream rather than the normal BEGIN. Now we can make anonymized begin_dir connections for (e.g.) more secure hidden service posting and fetching. svn:r12244

o Major features:
start to muck with the 0.2.0.10-alpha changelog svn:r12421
2007-11-07 20:38:08 +01:00
- Allow tunnelled directory connections to ask for an encrypted
"begin_dir" connection or an anonymized "uses a full Tor circuit"
connection independently. Now we can make anonymized begin_dir
connections for (e.g.) more secure hidden service posting and
fetching.
- More progress on proposal 114: code from Karsten Loesing to
implement new hidden service descriptor format.

start to muck with the 0.2.0.10-alpha changelog svn:r12421
2007-11-07 20:38:08 +01:00
- When the consensus lists a router descriptor that we previously were
mirroring, but that we considered non-canonical, reload the
descriptor as canonical. This fixes bug 543 where Tor servers
would start complaining after a few days that they don't have
enough directory information to build a circuit.

considering replacement when the new certs _didn't_ help.
- Fix an assert error on startup if we didn't already have the
consensus and certs cached in our datadirectory: we were caching
the consensus in consensus_waiting_for_certs but then free'ing it
right after.
- Avoid sending a request for "keys/fp" (for which we'll get a 400 Bad
Request) if we need more v3 certs but we've already got pending
requests for all of them.

Changes in version 0.1.2.18 - 2007-10-28
Tor 0.1.2.18 fixes many problems including crash bugs, problems with
hidden service introduction that were causing huge delays, and a big
bug that was causing some servers to disappear from the network status
lists for a few hours each day.
o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- If a connection is shut down abruptly because of something that
happened inside connection_flushed_some(), do not call
connection_finished_flushing(). Should fix bug 451:
"connection_stop_writing: Assertion conn->write_event failed"
Bugfix on 0.1.2.7-alpha.
- Fix possible segfaults in functions called from
rend_process_relay_cell().
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- Hidden services were choosing introduction points uniquely by
hexdigest, but when constructing the hidden service descriptor
they merely wrote the (potentially ambiguous) nickname.
- Clients now use the v2 intro format for hidden service
connections: they specify their chosen rendezvous point by identity
digest rather than by (potentially ambiguous) nickname. These
changes could speed up hidden service connections dramatically.
o Major bugfixes (other):
- Stop publishing a new server descriptor just because we get a
HUP signal. This led (in a roundabout way) to some servers getting
dropped from the networkstatus lists for a few hours each day.
- When looking for a circuit to cannibalize, consider family as well
as identity. Fixes bug 438. Bugfix on 0.1.0.x (which introduced
circuit cannibalization).
- When a router wasn't listed in a new networkstatus, we were leaving
the flags for that router alone -- meaning it remained Named,
Running, etc -- even though absence from the networkstatus means
that it shouldn't be considered to exist at all anymore. Now we
clear all the flags for routers that fall out of the networkstatus
consensus. Fixes bug 529.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Don't try to access (or alter) the state file when running
--list-fingerprint or --verify-config or --hash-password. Resolves
bug 499.
- When generating information telling us how to extend to a given
router, do not try to include the nickname if it is
absent. Resolves bug 467.
- Fix a user-triggerable segfault in expand_filename(). (There isn't
a way to trigger this remotely.)
- When sending a status event to the controller telling it that an

forward-port the 0.1.2.18 entries svn:r12465

were reporting the dir port.)
- Fix a minor memory leak whenever a controller sends the PROTOCOLINFO
command. Bugfix on 0.1.2.17.
- When loading bandwidth history, do not believe any information in
the future. Fixes bug 434.
- When loading entry guard information, do not believe any information
in the future.
- When we have our clock set far in the future and generate an
onion key, then re-set our clock to be correct, we should not stop
the onion key from getting rotated.
- On some platforms, accept() can return a broken address. Detect
this more quietly, and deal accordingly. Fixes bug 483.
- It's not actually an error to find a non-pending entry in the DNS
cache when canceling a pending resolve. Don't log unless stuff
is fishy. Resolves bug 463.
- Don't reset trusted dir server list when we set a configuration
option. Patch from Robert Hogan.
r17274@catbus: nickm | 2007-12-20 01:14:09 -0500 Don't try to create the datadir when we are only verifying the configuration or hashing a password. Resolves bug 540. svn:r12884

This ninth development snapshot switches clients to the new v3 directory
system; allows servers to be listed in the network status even when they
have the same nickname as a registered server; and fixes many other
bugs including a big one that was causing some servers to disappear
from the network status lists for a few hours each day.

This eighth development snapshot fixes a crash bug that's been bothering
us since February 2007, lets bridge authorities store a list of bridge
descriptors they've seen, gets v3 directory voting closer to working,
starts caching v3 directory consensus documents on directory mirrors,
and fixes a variety of smaller issues including some minor memory leaks.

2007-10-11 01:40:21 +02:00
o Major features (router descriptor cache):
- Store routers in a file called cached-descriptors instead of in
cached-routers. Initialize cached-descriptors from cached-routers
if the old format is around. The new format allows us to store
annotations along with descriptors.

we can export them to other programs and begin distributing them
to blocked users.

o Major bugfixes (performance):
- Fix really bad O(n^2) performance when parsing a long list of
routers: Instead of searching the entire list for an "extra-info "
string which usually wasn't there, once for every routerinfo
we read, just scan lines forward until we find one we like.

make it wait until the next round of writing. Otherwise, we flush

- Only change the reply to a vote to "OK" if it's not already
set. This gets rid of annoying "400 OK" log messages, which may
have been masking some deeper issue. Bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha.

2007-10-11 01:40:21 +02:00
- Base the valid-after time of a vote on the consensus voting
schedule, not on our preferred schedule.
- Make the return values and messages from signature uploads and
downloads more sensible.
r15646@catbus: nickm | 2007-10-10 16:01:54 -0400 Fix some memory leaks when serving v3 networkstatus documents and v3 certs. Generate 503 correctly when serving v3 networkstatus documents and v3 certs. svn:r11850
2007-10-10 22:06:38 +02:00
- Fix a memory leak when serving votes and consensus documents, and
another when serving certificates.

2007-09-28 21:23:54 +02:00
o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- Use a slightly simpler string hashing algorithm (copying Python's
instead of Java's) and optimize our digest hashing algorithm to take
advantage of 64-bit platforms and to remove some possibly-costly
voodoo.

2007-10-08 23:21:50 +02:00
- Pull out about a third of the really big routerlist.c; put it in a
new module, networkstatus.c.
r14812@Kushana: nickm | 2007-10-09 10:22:00 -0400 Merge extra fields in local_routerstatus_t back into routerstatus_t. See changelog for rationale. svn:r11799
2007-10-09 17:27:15 +02:00
- Merge the extra fields in local_routerstatus_t back into
routerstatus_t: we used to need one routerstatus_t for each
authority's opinion, plus a local_routerstatus_t for the locally
rough up the changelog svn:r11856
2007-10-11 01:40:21 +02:00
computed consensus opinion. To save space, we put the locally
modified fields into local_routerstatus_t, and only the common
stuff into routerstatus_t. But once v3 directories are in use,
clients and caches will no longer need to hold authority opinions;
thus, the rationale for keeping the types separate is now gone.
- Make the code used to reschedule and reattempt downloads more
uniform.
- Turn all 'Are we a directory server/mirror?' logic into a call to
dirserver_mode().

2007-09-21 22:19:38 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- Fix possible segfaults in functions called from
rend_process_relay_cell(). Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.
o Major bugfixes (bridges):
- Fix a bug that made servers send a "404 Not found" in response to
attempts to fetch their server descriptor. This caused Tor servers
to take many minutes to establish reachability for their DirPort,
and it totally crippled bridges. Bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
Make "UpdateBridgesFromAuthority" torrc option work: when bridge users configure that and specify a bridge with an identity fingerprint, now they will lookup the bridge descriptor at the default bridge authority via a one-hop tunnel, but once circuits are established they will switch to a three-hop tunnel for later connections to the bridge authority. svn:r11550

2007-09-21 22:19:38 +02:00
connections to the bridge authority. Bugfix in 0.2.0.3-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- Hidden services were choosing introduction points uniquely by
hexdigest, but when constructing the hidden service descriptor
they merely wrote the (potentially ambiguous) nickname.
- Clients now use the v2 intro format for hidden service
connections: they specify their chosen rendezvous point by identity
digest rather than by (potentially ambiguous) nickname. Both
are bugfixes on 0.1.2.x, and they could speed up hidden service
connections dramatically. Thanks to Karsten Loesing.

o Minor features (security):
clean up changelog before release svn:r11563
2007-09-21 22:19:38 +02:00
- As a client, do not believe any server that tells us that an
address maps to an internal address space.

o Minor features (guard nodes):
clean up changelog before release svn:r11563
2007-09-21 22:19:38 +02:00
- Tag every guard node in our state file with the version that
we believe added it, or with our own version if we add it. This way,
if a user temporarily runs an old version of Tor and then switches
back to a new one, she doesn't automatically lose her guards.

The third still needs testing. svn:r11536
2007-09-20 19:07:45 +02:00

2007-08-29 21:02:33 +02:00
o Minor features (controller):
- Accept LF instead of CRLF on controller, since some software has a
hard time generating real Internet newlines.
r15143@catbus: nickm | 2007-09-18 11:49:46 -0400 Add getinfo status/good-server-descriptor and status/reachability-succeeded. Patch from Robert Hogan. svn:r11483

- Remove an optimization in the AES counter-mode code that assumed
that the counter never exceeded 2^68. When the counter can be set
arbitrarily as an IV (as it is by Karsten's new hidden services
code), this assumption no longer holds. Bugfix on 0.1.2.x.

o Code simplifications and refactoring:
clean up changelog before release svn:r11563
2007-09-21 22:19:38 +02:00
- Revamp file-writing logic so we don't need to have the entire

2007-10-22 10:52:01 +02:00
Tor 0.1.2.17 features a new Vidalia version in the Windows and OS
X bundles. Vidalia 0.0.14 makes authentication required for the
ControlPort in the default configuration, which addresses important
security risks. Everybody who uses Vidalia (or another controller)
should upgrade.
In addition, this Tor update fixes major load balancing problems with
path selection, which should speed things up a lot once many people
have upgraded.
forward-port the 0.1.2.17 changelog svn:r11340
2007-08-31 23:39:11 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (security):
- We removed support for the old (v0) control protocol. It has been
deprecated since Tor 0.1.1.1-alpha, and keeping it secure has
become more of a headache than it's worth.
o Major bugfixes (load balancing):
- When choosing nodes for non-guard positions, weight guards
proportionally less, since they already have enough load. Patch
from Mike Perry.
- Raise the "max believable bandwidth" from 1.5MB/s to 10MB/s. This
will allow fast Tor servers to get more attention.
- When we're upgrading from an old Tor version, forget our current
guards and pick new ones according to the new weightings. These
three load balancing patches could raise effective network capacity
by a factor of four. Thanks to Mike Perry for measurements.
o Major bugfixes (stream expiration):
- Expire not-yet-successful application streams in all cases if
they've been around longer than SocksTimeout. Right now there are
some cases where the stream will live forever, demanding a new
circuit every 15 seconds. Fixes bug 454; reported by lodger.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add a PROTOCOLINFO controller command. Like AUTHENTICATE, it
is valid before any authentication has been received. It tells
a controller what kind of authentication is expected, and what
protocol is spoken. Implements proposal 119.
o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- Save on most routerlist_assert_ok() calls in routerlist.c, thus
greatly speeding up loading cached-routers from disk on startup.
- Disable sentinel-based debugging for buffer code: we squashed all
the bugs that this was supposed to detect a long time ago, and now
its only effect is to change our buffer sizes from nice powers of
two (which platform mallocs tend to like) to values slightly over
powers of two (which make some platform mallocs sad).
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
Based on patch from Mike Perry.
- Choose perfectly fairly among routers when choosing by bandwidth and
weighting by fraction of bandwidth provided by exits. Previously, we
would choose with only approximate fairness, and correct ourselves
if we ran off the end of the list.
- If we require CookieAuthentication but we fail to write the
cookie file, we would warn but not exit, and end up in a state
where no controller could authenticate. Now we exit.
- If we require CookieAuthentication, stop generating a new cookie
every time we change any piece of our config.
- Refuse to start with certain directory authority keys, and
encourage people using them to stop.
- Terminate multi-line control events properly. Original patch
from tup.
- Fix a minor memory leak when we fail to find enough suitable
servers to choose a circuit.
- Stop leaking part of the descriptor when we run into a particularly
unparseable piece of it.

This sixth development snapshot features a new Vidalia version in the
Windows and OS X bundles. Vidalia 0.0.14 makes authentication required for
the ControlPort in the default configuration, which addresses important
security risks.
In addition, this snapshot fixes major load balancing problems
with path selection, which should speed things up a lot once many
people have upgraded. The directory authorities also use a new
mean-time-between-failure approach to tracking which servers are stable,
rather than just looking at the most recent uptime.

This fifth development snapshot fixes compilation on Windows again;
fixes an obnoxious client-side bug that slowed things down and put
extra load on the network; gets us closer to using the v3 directory
voting scheme; makes it easier for Tor controllers to use cookie-based
authentication; and fixes a variety of other bugs.

- Version 1 directories are no longer generated in full. Instead,
authorities generate and serve "stub" v1 directories that list
no servers. This will stop Tor versions 0.1.0.x and earlier from
working, but (for security reasons) nobody should be running those
versions anyway.

- Close immediately after missing authentication on control port;
do not allow multiple authentication attempts.
r13872@Kushana: nickm | 2007-07-31 08:27:54 -0700 Rename IN4_ADDR and IN6_ADDR to try to avoid conflicting with Windows definitions. This may fix the windows build. svn:r11011
2007-08-01 17:57:34 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix win32 compilation: apparently IN_ADDR and IN6_ADDR are already
defined there.
Yet another buffer RAM patch: tNever ever ever keep a buffer memory chunk around for an empty buffer that could go on the freelist. This wants profiling to make sure that performance doesnt suffer. svn:r10993
2007-07-30 19:47:43 +02:00
o Minor features (performance):
- Be even more aggressive about releasing RAM from small
empty buffers. Thanks to our free-list code, this shouldn't be too
performance-intensive.

blocking-resistance features and a preliminary version of the v3
directory voting design, and includes many other smaller features
and bugfixes.

2007-07-30 14:13:32 +02:00
- The first pieces of our "bridge" design for blocking-resistance
are implemented. People can run bridge directory authorities;
people can run bridges; and people can configure their Tor clients
with a set of bridges to use as the first hop into the Tor network.

2007-07-30 14:13:32 +02:00
User and Group. Now non-Windows users can choose port values
under 1024, start Tor as root, and have Tor bind those ports
before it changes to another UID. (Windows users could already
pick these ports.)
- Added a new ConstrainedSockets config option to set SO_SNDBUF and
SO_RCVBUF on TCP sockets. Hopefully useful for Tor servers running
on "vserver" accounts. (Patch from coderman.)
Be even more aggressive about separating local traffic from relayed traffic when RelayBandwidthRate is set. (Refines proposal 111.) svn:r10974

r13989@catbus: nickm | 2007-07-29 19:11:07 -0400 More directory voting code. Now, if everything works, and I haven't forgotten anything, it is possible to set up some v3 authorities and start voting. Of course, I have probably forgotten something, and there are probably bugs in there somewhere too. svn:r10976
2007-07-30 01:11:44 +02:00
o Major features (experimental):
clean up the changelog svn:r10986
2007-07-30 14:13:32 +02:00
- First cut of code for "v3 dir voting": directory authorities will
vote on a common network status document rather than each publishing
their own opinion. This code needs more testing and more corner-case
handling before it's ready for use.

2007-07-29 03:07:35 +02:00
o Security fixes:
- Directory authorities now call routers Fast if their bandwidth is
at least 100KB/s, and consider their bandwidth adequate to be a
Guard if it is at least 250KB/s, no matter the medians. This fix
complements proposal 107. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
r13979@catbus: nickm | 2007-07-29 01:20:20 -0400 Implement proposal 109: As an authority, never call more than 3 servers per IP Running and Valid. Prefer Running servers to non-running ones; then prefer high-bandwidth to low-bandwidth. Needs testing. svn:r10968

2007-07-30 14:13:32 +02:00
- Minor change to organizationName and commonName generation
procedures in TLS certificates during Tor handshakes, to invalidate
some earlier censorware approaches. This is not a long-term
solution, but applying it will give us a bit of time to look into
the epidemiology of countermeasures as they spread.

o Major bugfixes (directory):
- Rewrite directory tokenization code to never run off the end of
a string. Fixes bug 455. Patch from croup. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
r13325@catbus: nickm | 2007-06-08 15:02:37 -0400 Parse networkstatuses (v2, vote, and consensus) after generating them, and fail fast if there is a parse error. svn:r10540

support them. (Patch from Peter Palfrader.)
- STREAM NEW events are generated for DNSPort requests and for
tunneled directory connections. (Patch from Robert Hogan.)
- New "GETINFO address-mappings/*" command to get address mappings
with expiry information. "addr-mappings/*" is now deprecated.

2007-07-29 03:07:35 +02:00
- Directory authorities now fail quickly and (relatively) harmlessly
if they generate a network status document that is somehow
malformed.

2007-07-29 00:14:39 +02:00
- If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
(Based on patch from Mike Perry.)
clean up the changelog svn:r10986
2007-07-30 14:13:32 +02:00
- Choose perfectly fairly among routers when choosing by bandwidth and
weighting by fraction of bandwidth provided by exits. Previously, we
would choose with only approximate fairness, and correct ourselves
if we ran off the end of the list. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
o Performance improvements:
- Be more aggressive with freeing buffer RAM or putting it on the
memory free lists.
r13454@kushana: nickm | 2007-06-20 14:22:44 -0400 Switch windows locking implementation to CRITICAL_SECTION, not Mutex: Mutex is heavier-weight, and meant for multi-process situations. svn:r10739
2007-07-05 16:51:01 +02:00
- Use Critical Sections rather than Mutexes for synchronizing threads
on win32; Mutexes are heavier-weight, and designed for synchronizing
between processes.

Tor 0.1.2.15 fixes several crash bugs, fixes some anonymity-related
problems, fixes compilation on BSD, and fixes a variety of other
bugs. Everybody should upgrade.
forward-port the 0.1.2.15 changelog svn:r10859
2007-07-17 22:57:43 +02:00
o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- Fix compile on FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD. Oops.
o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- Try even harder not to dereference the first character after
an mmap(). Reported by lodger.
- Fix a crash bug in directory authorities when we re-number the
routerlist while inserting a new router.
- When the cached-routers file is an even multiple of the page size,
don't run off the end and crash. (Fixes bug 455; based on idea
from croup.)
- Fix eventdns.c behavior on Solaris: It is critical to include
orconfig.h _before_ sys/types.h, so that we can get the expected
definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
o Major bugfixes (security):
- Fix a possible buffer overrun when using BSD natd support. Bug
found by croup.
- When sending destroy cells from a circuit's origin, don't include
the reason for tearing down the circuit. The spec says we didn't,
and now we actually don't. Reported by lodger.
- Keep streamids from different exits on a circuit separate. This
bug may have allowed other routers on a given circuit to inject
cells into streams. Reported by lodger; fixes bug 446.
- If there's a never-before-connected-to guard node in our list,
never choose any guards past it. This way we don't expand our
guard list unless we need to.
o Minor bugfixes (guard nodes):
- Weight guard selection by bandwidth, so that low-bandwidth nodes
don't get overused as guards.
o Minor bugfixes (directory):
- Correctly count the number of authorities that recommend each
version. Previously, we were under-counting by 1.
- Fix a potential crash bug when we load many server descriptors at
once and some of them make others of them obsolete. Fixes bug 458.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- Stop tearing down the whole circuit when the user asks for a
connection to a port that the hidden service didn't configure.
Resolves bug 444.
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- On Windows, we were preventing other processes from reading

- Fix a possible (but very unlikely) bug in picking routers by
bandwidth. Add a log message to confirm that it is in fact
unlikely. Patch from lodger.

2007-06-02 17:26:54 +02:00
o Major bugfixes on 0.2.0.1-alpha:
- Fix an assertion failure related to servers without extra-info digests.
Resolves bugs 441 and 442.
r13154@catbus: nickm | 2007-06-02 11:26:44 -0400 Server-side support for If-Modified-Since in HTTP requsts for v1 stuff, and for network-status documents. svn:r10451
2007-06-02 17:26:57 +02:00
o Minor features (directory):
- Support "If-Modified-Since" when answering HTTP requests for
directories, running-routers documents, and network-status documents.
(There's no need to support it for router descriptors, since those
are downloaded by descriptor digest.)

- When building from a tarball on a machine that happens to have SVK
installed, report the micro-revision as whatever version existed
in the tarball, not as "x".

Changes in version 0.2.0.1-alpha - 2007-06-01
put the release blurbs in the changelog file, so they can be kept for posterity, and so we can unclutter the download page. svn:r12093
2007-10-22 10:52:01 +02:00
This early development snapshot provides new features for people running
Tor as both a client and a server (check out the new RelayBandwidth
config options); lets Tor run as a DNS proxy; and generally moves us
forward on a lot of fronts.
polish 0.2.0.1-alpha changelog svn:r10436
2007-06-01 09:12:14 +02:00
o Major features, server usability:
- New config options RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst:
a separate set of token buckets for relayed traffic. Right now
relayed traffic is defined as answers to directory requests, and
OR connections that don't have any local circuits on them.
o Major features, client usability:
- A client-side DNS proxy feature to replace the need for
dns-proxy-tor: Just set "DNSPort 9999", and Tor will now listen
for DNS requests on port 9999, use the Tor network to resolve them
anonymously, and send the reply back like a regular DNS server.
The code still only implements a subset of DNS.
- Make PreferTunneledDirConns and TunnelDirConns work even when
we have no cached directory info. This means Tor clients can now
do all of their connections protected by TLS.
o Major features, performance and efficiency:
- Directory authorities accept and serve "extra info" documents for
routers. These documents contain fields from router descriptors
that aren't usually needed, and that use a lot of excess
bandwidth. Once these fields are removed from router descriptors,
the bandwidth savings should be about 60%. [Partially implements
proposal 104.]
- Servers upload extra-info documents to any authority that accepts
them. Authorities (and caches that have been configured to download
extra-info documents) download them as needed. [Partially implements
proposal 104.]
r12651@Kushana: nickm | 2007-03-24 18:26:42 -0400 Initial version of circuit-based cell queues. Instead of hammering or_conns with piles of cells, queue cells on their corresponding circuits, and append them to the or_conn as needed. This seems to work so far, but needs a bit more work. This will break the memory-use-limitation patch for begin_dir conns: the solution will be a fun but fiddly. svn:r9904
2007-03-26 16:07:59 +02:00
- Change the way that Tor buffers data that it is waiting to write.
Instead of queueing data cells in an enormous ring buffer for each
client->OR or OR->OR connection, we now queue cells on a separate

if you're using relaybandwidthrate and relaybandwidthburst, make sure that's reflected in your router descriptor. svn:r10114
2007-05-04 11:20:13 +02:00
- Use memory pools to allocate cells with better speed and memory
efficiency, especially on platforms where malloc() is inefficient.
r12652@Kushana: nickm | 2007-03-25 15:01:48 -0400 A surprisingly simple patch to stop reading on edge connections when their circuits get too full, and start again when they empty out. This lets us remove the logic to block begin_dir conns when the corresponding or conns get full: it was already broken by cell queues anyway. svn:r9905

2007-05-13 01:19:10 +02:00
- Count the number of open sockets separately from the number
of active connection_t objects. This will let us avoid underusing
our allocated connection limit.
r12763@Kushana: nickm | 2007-04-20 18:42:58 -0400 Initial version of code to stop using socket pairs for linked connections. Superficially, it seems to work, but it probably needs a lot more testing and attention. svn:r9995
2007-04-21 19:26:12 +02:00
- We no longer use socket pairs to link an edge connection to an

Instead, we track the link internally and transfer the data
in-process. This saves two sockets per "linked" connection (at the
client and at the server), and avoids the nasty Windows socketpair()
workaround.
r12706@catbus: nickm | 2007-05-09 18:39:46 -0400 Keep two freelists for buffer ram chunks: one of 4k chunks, and one of 16k chunks. Also, document the whole business. svn:r10150

2007-04-18 21:28:47 +02:00
- Include the current subversion revision as part of the version
string: either fetch it directly if we're in an SVN checkout, do
some magic to guess it if we're in an SVK checkout, or use
the last-detected version if we're building from a .tar.gz.

2007-03-04 21:11:46 +01:00
o Minor features (logging):
- Always prepend "Bug: " to any log message about a bug.
Put a platform string (e.g. "Linux i686") in the startup log message, so when people paste just their logs, we know if it's openbsd or windows or what. svn:r9775

o Code simplifications and refactoring:

Instead of hammering or_conns with piles of cells, queue cells on their corresponding circuits, and append them to the or_conn as needed. This seems to work so far, but needs a bit more work. This will break the memory-use-limitation patch for begin_dir conns: the solution will be a fun but fiddly. svn:r9904

forward-port the 0.1.2.14 changelog, and remove redundant entries from the 0.2.0.1 changelog svn:r10338
2007-05-25 23:31:49 +02:00
o Directory authority changes:
- Two directory authorities (moria1 and moria2) just moved to new
IP addresses. This change will particularly affect those who serve
or use hidden services.
o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- If a directory server runs out of space in the connection table
as it's processing a begin_dir request, it will free the exit stream
but leave it attached to the circuit, leading to unpredictable
behavior. (Reported by seeess, fixes bug 425.)
- Fix a bug in dirserv_remove_invalid() that would cause authorities
to corrupt memory under some really unlikely scenarios.
- Tighten router parsing rules. (Bugs reported by Benedikt Boss.)
- Avoid segfaults when reading from mmaped descriptor file. (Reported
by lodger.)
o Major bugfixes (security):
- When choosing an entry guard for a circuit, avoid using guards
that are in the same family as the chosen exit -- not just guards
that are exactly the chosen exit. (Reported by lodger.)
o Major bugfixes (resource management):
- If a directory authority is down, skip it when deciding where to get
networkstatus objects or descriptors. Otherwise we keep asking
every 10 seconds forever. Fixes bug 384.
- Count it as a failure if we fetch a valid network-status but we
don't want to keep it. Otherwise we'll keep fetching it and keep
not wanting to keep it. Fixes part of bug 422.
- If all of our dirservers have given us bad or no networkstatuses
lately, then stop hammering them once per minute even when we
think they're failed. Fixes another part of bug 422.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Actually set the purpose correctly for descriptors inserted with
purpose=controller.
- When we have k non-v2 authorities in our DirServer config,
we ignored the last k authorities in the list when updating our
network-statuses.
- Correctly back-off from requesting router descriptors that we are
having a hard time downloading.
- Read resolv.conf files correctly on platforms where read() returns
partial results on small file reads.
- Don't rebuild the entire router store every time we get 32K of
routers: rebuild it when the journal gets very large, or when
the gaps in the store get very large.
o Minor features:
- When routers publish SVN revisions in their router descriptors,
authorities now include those versions correctly in networkstatus
documents.
- Warn when using a version of libevent before 1.3b to run a server on
OSX or BSD: these versions interact badly with userspace threads.

This release features some major anonymity fixes, such as safer path
selection; better client performance; faster bootstrapping, better
address detection, and better DNS support for servers; write limiting as
well as read limiting to make servers easier to run; and a huge pile of
other features and bug fixes. The bundles also ship with Vidalia 0.0.11.

Changes in version 0.1.2.12-rc - 2007-03-16
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix an infinite loop introduced in 0.1.2.7-alpha when we serve
directory information requested inside Tor connections (i.e. via
begin_dir cells). It only triggered when the same connection was
serving other data at the same time. Reported by seeess.
o Minor bugfixes:
- When creating a circuit via the controller, send a 'launched'
event when we're done, so we follow the spec better.
Changes in version 0.1.2.11-rc - 2007-03-15
o Minor bugfixes (controller), reported by daejees:
- Correct the control spec to match how the code actually responds
to 'getinfo addr-mappings/*'.
- The control spec described a GUARDS event, but the code
implemented a GUARD event. Standardize on GUARD, but let people
ask for GUARDS too.

o Major bugfixes (Windows):
- On MinGW, use "%I64u" to printf/scanf 64-bit integers, instead
of the usual GCC "%llu". This prevents a bug when saving 64-bit
int configuration values: the high-order 32 bits would get
truncated. In particular, we were being bitten by the default
MaxAdvertisedBandwidth of 128 TB turning into 0. (Fixes bug 400
and maybe also bug 397.)

- When we're handling a directory connection tunneled over Tor,
don't fill up internal memory buffers with all the data we want
to tunnel; instead, only add it if the OR connection that will
eventually receive it has some room for it. (This can lead to
slowdowns in tunneled dir connections; a better solution will have
to wait for 0.2.0.)

- Handle TTL values correctly on reverse DNS lookups.
- Treat failure to parse resolv.conf as an error.
o Minor bugfixes (other):
- Fix crash with "tor --list-fingerprint" (reported by seeess).
- When computing clock skew from directory HTTP headers, consider what
time it was when we finished asking for the directory, not what
time it is now.
- Expire socks connections if they spend too long waiting for the
handshake to finish. Previously we would let them sit around for
days, if the connecting application didn't close them either.
- And if the socks handshake hasn't started, don't send a
"DNS resolve socks failed" handshake reply; just close it.
- Stop using C functions that OpenBSD's linker doesn't like.

o Minor bugfixes:
- Warn if we (as a server) find that we've resolved an address that we
weren't planning to resolve.
- Warn that using select() on any libevent version before 1.1 will be
unnecessarily slow (even for select()).
- Flush ERR-level controller status events just like we currently
flush ERR-level log events, so that a Tor shutdown doesn't prevent
the controller from learning about current events.
o Minor features (more controller status events):

learn when our address changes.
- Implement BAD_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR server status event so controllers
can learn when directories reject our descriptor.
- Implement SOCKS_UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL client status event so controllers
can learn when a client application is speaking a non-socks protocol
to our SocksPort.
- Implement DANGEROUS_SOCKS client status event so controllers
can learn when a client application is leaking DNS addresses.
- Implement BUG general status event so controllers can learn when
Tor is unhappy about its internal invariants.
- Implement CLOCK_SKEW general status event so controllers can learn
when Tor thinks the system clock is set incorrectly.
- Implement GOOD_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR and ACCEPTED_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR
server status events so controllers can learn when their descriptors
are accepted by a directory.
- Implement CHECKING_REACHABILITY and REACHABILITY_{SUCCEEDED|FAILED}
server status events so controllers can learn about Tor's progress in
deciding whether it's reachable from the outside.
r11872@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-06 02:14:12 -0500 Implement a control status event for bad libevent version/method combos. Warn that libevent <1.1 with select() is needlessly slow. Reply to comment. svn:r9284

2006-12-13 03:49:45 +01:00
o Major features:
a changelog for write limiting. also, disable the "advertise dirport until we reach our max bandwidth if it's tiny" trick now that we do the bandwidth self-test on boot. svn:r9134
2006-12-15 22:39:35 +01:00
- Enable write limiting as well as read limiting. Now we sacrifice
capacity if we're pushing out lots of directory traffic, rather
than overrunning the user's intended bandwidth limits.
r11741@Kushana: nickm | 2006-12-28 22:41:29 -0500 Count TLS bytes accurately: previously, we counted only the number of bytes read or transmitted via tls, not the number of extra bytes used to do so. This has been a lonstanding wart. The fix "Works for me". svn:r9207
2006-12-29 04:42:46 +01:00

2007-01-06 06:14:57 +01:00
- Support running the Tor service with a torrc not in the same
directory as tor.exe and default to using the torrc located in
the %appdata%\Tor\ of the user who installed the service. Patch
from Matt Edman.
- Servers now check for the case when common DNS requests are going to
wildcarded addresses (i.e. all getting the same answer), and change
their exit policy to reject *:* if it's happening.
- Implement BEGIN_DIR cells, so we can connect to the directory
server via TLS to do encrypted directory requests rather than
plaintext. Enable via the TunnelDirConns and PreferTunneledDirConns
config options if you like.

- Add a new address-spec.txt document to describe our special-case
addresses: .exit, .onion, and .noconnnect.
o Minor features (DNS):
- Ongoing work on eventdns infrastructure: now it has dns server
and ipv6 support. One day Tor will make use of it.
- Add client-side caching for reverse DNS lookups.
- Add support to tor-resolve tool for reverse lookups and SOCKS5.
- When we change nameservers or IP addresses, reset and re-launch
our tests for DNS hijacking.
o Minor features (directory):
- Authorities now specify server versions in networkstatus. This adds
forward-port the 0.1.2.13 changelog and releasenotes svn:r10018
2007-04-24 20:29:57 +02:00
about 2% to the size of compressed networkstatus docs, and allows

clients to tell which servers support BEGIN_DIR and which don't.
The implementation is forward-compatible with a proposed future
protocol version scheme not tied to Tor versions.
- DirServer configuration lines now have an orport= option so
Set orport= for 4 of the 5 dir authorities; Fix getinfo ns/all; Fix seg fault when starting a server without a fingerprint file present. svn:r9261
2007-01-04 06:41:24 +01:00
clients can open encrypted tunnels to the authorities without

o Minor features (controller):
- Have GETINFO dir/status/* work on hosts with DirPort disabled.
- Reimplement GETINFO so that info/names stays in sync with the
actual keys.
- Implement "GETINFO fingerprint".
- Implement "SETEVENTS GUARD" so controllers can get updates on
entry guard status as it changes.
o Minor features (clean up obsolete pieces):
- Remove some options that have been deprecated since at least
0.1.0.x: AccountingMaxKB, LogFile, DebugLogFile, LogLevel, and
SysLog. Use AccountingMax instead of AccountingMaxKB, and use Log
to set log options.
- We no longer look for identity and onion keys in "identity.key" and
"onion.key" -- these were replaced by secret_id_key and
secret_onion_key in 0.0.8pre1.
- We no longer require unrecognized directory entries to be
preceded by "opt".

- Stop sending the HttpProxyAuthenticator string to directory
servers when directory connections are tunnelled through Tor.
- Clients no longer store bandwidth history in the state file.
- Do not log introduction points for hidden services if SafeLogging
is set.
- When generating bandwidth history, round down to the nearest
1k. When storing accounting data, round up to the nearest 1k.
- When we're running as a server, remember when we last rotated onion
keys, so that we will rotate keys once they're a week old even if
we never stay up for a week ourselves.

successfully test whether they're talking to the same Tor by
watching for STREAM events.
- Make cross.sh cross-compilation script work even when autogen.sh

operations, for profiling.

Changes in version 0.1.1.25 - 2006-11-04
o Major bugfixes:
- When a client asks us to resolve (rather than connect to)
an address, and we have a cached answer, give them the cached
answer. Previously, we would give them no answer at all.
- We were building exactly the wrong circuits when we predict
hidden service requirements, meaning Tor would have to build all
its circuits on demand.
- If none of our live entry guards have a high uptime, but we
require a guard with a high uptime, try adding a new guard before
we give up on the requirement. This patch should make long-lived
connections more stable on average.
- When testing reachability of our DirPort, don't launch new
tests when there's already one in progress -- unreachable
servers were stacking up dozens of testing streams.
o Security bugfixes:
- When the user sends a NEWNYM signal, clear the client-side DNS
cache too. Otherwise we continue to act on previous information.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid a memory corruption bug when creating a hash table for
the first time.
- Avoid possibility of controller-triggered crash when misusing
certain commands from a v0 controller on platforms that do not
handle printf("%s",NULL) gracefully.
- Avoid infinite loop on unexpected controller input.
- Don't log spurious warnings when we see a circuit close reason we
don't recognize; it's probably just from a newer version of Tor.
- Add Vidalia to the OS X uninstaller script, so when we uninstall
Tor/Privoxy we also uninstall Vidalia.

- If most authorities set a BadExit flag for a server, clients
don't think of it as a general-purpose exit. Clients only consider
authorities that advertise themselves as listing bad exits.

- Avoid sending junk to controllers or segfaulting when a controller
uses EVENT_NEW_DESC with verbose nicknames.
- Stop triggering asserts if the controller tries to extend hidden
service circuits (reported by mwenge).

about even those routers whose descriptors are very old, and use
long nicknames where appropriate.

corrupted (on systems without mmap) or not page-aligned (on systems
with mmap). This bug was harmless.
- Sometimes we didn't bother sending a RELAY_END cell when an attempt
to open a stream fails; now we do in more cases. This should
make clients able to find a good exit faster in some cases, since
unhandleable requests will now get an error rather than timing out.

r8997@Kushana: nickm | 2006-09-28 23:40:22 -0400 [Needs review.] Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier in-protocol way to connect to directory servers through Tor. Previously, clients could only connect to director servers over Tor from exit nodes, but couldn't get directory information anonymously from a non-exit cache without getting a directory server involved. This needs testing, and needs client-side code to actually exercise it. svn:r8527

to find Tor exits to make private connections to directory servers.
- Avoid choosing Exit nodes for entry or middle hops when the
total bandwidth available from non-Exit nodes is much higher than
the total bandwidth available from Exit nodes.
- Workaround for name servers (like Earthlink's) that hijack failing

NEEDS REVIEW. Act on previous comment, and handle named servers differently: now, we allow multiple servers with the same name in the routerlist even if that name is reserved, but we check whether names are reserved when we try to look up routers by nickname. This is a minor security fix. This makes router_add_to_routerlist O(1). This is a backport candidate. svn:r8433

via Tor; otherwise you'll think you're the exit node's IP address.
cleanups, closer to a changelog svn:r8606

o Minor bugfixes, performance:
- Two small performance improvements on parsing descriptors.
- Major performance improvement on inserting descriptors: change
algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n).
- Make the common memory allocation path faster on machines where
malloc(0) returns a pointer.
- Start remembering X-Your-Address-Is directory hints even if you're
a client, so you can become a server more smoothly.
- Avoid duplicate entries on MyFamily line in server descriptor.
o Packaging, features:
- Remove architecture from OS X builds. The official builds are
now universal binaries.
- The Debian package now uses --verify-config when (re)starting,
to distinguish configuration errors from other errors.
- Update RPMs to require libevent 1.1b.
o Packaging, bugfixes:
- Patches so Tor builds with MinGW on Windows.

- Add autoconf checks so Tor can build on Solaris x86 again.
Switch routerlist.c to using memcmp on digests rather than crypto_pk_cmp_keys(); speed up find_whitespace a lot (8x for me) by using a switch statement. This should speed parsing a lot of routers at once by a lot. svn:r8430

intertwingle the 0.1.1.x and 0.1.2.x changelog entries svn:r9419
2007-01-26 07:44:38 +01:00
Changes in version 0.1.1.24 - 2006-09-29
o Major bugfixes:
- Allow really slow clients to not hang up five minutes into their
directory downloads (suggested by Adam J. Richter).
- Fix major performance regression from 0.1.0.x: instead of checking
whether we have enough directory information every time we want to
do something, only check when the directory information has changed.
This should improve client CPU usage by 25-50%.
- Don't crash if, after a server has been running for a while,
it can't resolve its hostname.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Allow Tor to start when RunAsDaemon is set but no logs are set.
- Don't crash when the controller receives a third argument to an
"extendcircuit" request.
- Controller protocol fixes: fix encoding in "getinfo addr-mappings"
response; fix error code when "getinfo dir/status/" fails.
- Fix configure.in to not produce broken configure files with
more recent versions of autoconf. Thanks to Clint for his auto*
voodoo.
- Fix security bug on NetBSD that could allow someone to force
uninitialized RAM to be sent to a server's DNS resolver. This
only affects NetBSD and other platforms that do not bounds-check
tolower().
- Warn user when using libevent 1.1a or earlier with win32 or kqueue
methods: these are known to be buggy.
- If we're a directory mirror and we ask for "all" network status
documents, we would discard status documents from authorities
we don't recognize.

2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
Changes in version 0.1.2.1-alpha - 2006-08-27
o Major features:
- Add "eventdns" async dns library from Adam Langley, tweaked to
turn eventdns off by default until we can get some more useful log messages into it. no use learning that it's broken without being able to learn what is broken too. svn:r8245
2006-08-27 09:26:00 +02:00
build on OSX and Windows. Only enabled if you pass the
--enable-eventdns argument to configure.
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
- Allow servers with no hostname or IP address to learn their
IP address by asking the directory authorities. This code only
kicks in when you would normally have exited with a "no address"
error. Nothing's authenticated, so use with care.
- Rather than waiting a fixed amount of time between retrying
application connections, we wait only 5 seconds for the first,
10 seconds for the second, and 15 seconds for each retry after
that. Hopefully this will improve the expected user experience.
- Patch from Tup to add support for transparent AP connections:
this basically bundles the functionality of trans-proxy-tor
into the Tor mainline. Now hosts with compliant pf/netfilter
implementations can redirect TCP connections straight to Tor
without diverting through SOCKS. Needs docs.
- Busy directory servers save lots of memory by spooling server
descriptors, v1 directories, and v2 networkstatus docs to buffers
as needed rather than en masse. Also mmap the cached-routers
files, so we don't need to keep the whole thing in memory too.
- Automatically avoid picking more than one node from the same
/16 network when constructing a circuit.
- Revise and clean up the torrc.sample that we ship with; add
a section for BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst.
o Minor features:
checkpoint in-progress changelog notes svn:r7054
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
- Split circuit_t into origin_circuit_t and or_circuit_t, and
split connection_t into edge, or, dir, control, and base structs.
These will save quite a bit of memory on busy servers, and they'll
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
also help us track down bugs in the code and bugs in the spec.
- Experimentally re-enable kqueue on OSX when using libevent 1.1b
or later. Log when we are doing this, so we can diagnose it when
it fails. (Also, recommend libevent 1.1b for kqueue and
win32 methods; deprecate libevent 1.0b harder; make libevent
recommendation system saner.)
- Start being able to build universal binaries on OS X (thanks
to Phobos).
checkpoint in-progress changelog notes svn:r7054
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
- Export the default exit policy via the control port, so controllers
don't need to guess what it is / will be later.
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
- Add a man page entry for ProtocolWarnings.
- Add TestVia config option to the man page.
- Remove even more protocol-related warnings from Tor server logs,
such as bad TLS handshakes and malformed begin cells.
- Stop fetching descriptors if you're not a dir mirror and you
haven't tried to establish any circuits lately. [This currently
causes some dangerous behavior, because when you start up again
you'll use your ancient server descriptors.]
- New DirPort behavior: if you have your dirport set, you download
descriptors aggressively like a directory mirror, whether or not
your ORPort is set.
checkpoint in-progress changelog notes svn:r7054
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
- Get rid of the router_retry_connections notion. Now routers
no longer try to rebuild long-term connections to directory
authorities, and directory authorities no longer try to rebuild
long-term connections to all servers. We still don't hang up
connections in these two cases though -- we need to look at it
more carefully to avoid flapping, and we likely need to wait til
0.1.1.x is obsolete.
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
- Drop compatibility with obsolete Tors that permit create cells
to have the wrong circ_id_type.
- Re-enable per-connection rate limiting. Get rid of the "OP
bandwidth" concept. Lay groundwork for "bandwidth classes" --
separate global buckets that apply depending on what sort of conn
it is.
checkpoint in-progress changelog notes svn:r7054
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
- Start publishing one minute or so after we find our ORPort
to be reachable. This will help reduce the number of descriptors
we have for ourselves floating around, since it's quite likely
other things (e.g. DirPort) will change during that minute too.

and mark dir-spec.txt as the currently correct (v2) spec.
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
o Major bugfixes:
- When we find our DirPort to be reachable, publish a new descriptor
so we'll tell the world (reported by pnx).
- Publish a new descriptor after we hup/reload. This is important
if our config has changed such that we'll want to start advertising
our DirPort now, etc.
- Allow Tor to start when RunAsDaemon is set but no logs are set.
- When we have a state file we cannot parse, tell the user and
move it aside. Now we avoid situations where the user starts
Tor in 1904, Tor writes a state file with that timestamp in it,
the user fixes her clock, and Tor refuses to start.
- Fix configure.in to not produce broken configure files with
more recent versions of autoconf. Thanks to Clint for his auto*
voodoo.
- "tor --verify-config" now exits with -1(255) or 0 depending on
whether the config options are bad or good.
- Resolve bug 321 when using dnsworkers: append a period to every
address we resolve at the exit node, so that we do not accidentally
pick up local addresses, and so that failing searches are retried
in the resolver search domains. (This is already solved for
eventdns.) (This breaks Blossom servers for now.)
- If we are using an exit enclave and we can't connect, e.g. because
its webserver is misconfigured to not listen on localhost, then
back off and try connecting from somewhere else before we fail.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Start compiling on MinGW on Windows (patches from Mike Chiussi).
- Start compiling on MSVC6 on Windows (patches from Frediano Ziglio).
- Fix bug 314: Tor clients issued "unsafe socks" warnings even
when the IP address is mapped through MapAddress to a hostname.
- Start passing "ipv4" hints to getaddrinfo(), so servers don't do
useless IPv6 DNS resolves.
- Patch suggested by Karsten Loesing: respond to SIGNAL command
before we execute the signal, in case the signal shuts us down.
- Clean up AllowInvalidNodes man page entry.
- Claim a commonname of Tor, rather than TOR, in TLS handshakes.
- Add more asserts to track down an assert error on a windows Tor
server with connection_add being called with socket == -1.
- Handle reporting OR_CONN_EVENT_NEW events to the controller.
checkpoint in-progress changelog notes svn:r7054
2006-08-14 12:16:42 +02:00
- Fix misleading log messages: an entry guard that is "unlisted",
as well as not known to be "down" (because we've never heard
of it), is not therefore "up".
- Remove code to special-case "-cvs" ending, since it has not
actually mattered since 0.0.9.
clean up the 0.1.2.1-alpha changelog svn:r8240
2006-08-27 08:55:48 +02:00
- Make our socks5 handling more robust to broken socks clients:
throw out everything waiting on the buffer in between socks
handshake phases, since they can't possibly (so the theory
goes) have predicted what we plan to respond to them.

forward-port the 0.1.1.23 changelog. svn:r6946
2006-07-30 07:36:17 +02:00
Changes in version 0.1.1.23 - 2006-07-30
o Major bugfixes:
- Fast Tor servers, especially exit nodes, were triggering asserts
due to a bug in handling the list of pending DNS resolves. Some
bugs still remain here; we're hunting them.
- Entry guards could crash clients by sending unexpected input.
- More fixes on reachability testing: if you find yourself reachable,
then don't ever make any client requests (so you stop predicting
circuits), then hup or have your clock jump, then later your IP
changes, you won't think circuits are working, so you won't try to
test reachability, so you won't publish.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid a crash if the controller does a resetconf firewallports
and then a setconf fascistfirewall=1.
- Avoid an integer underflow when the dir authority decides whether
a router is stable: we might wrongly label it stable, and compute
a slightly wrong median stability, when a descriptor is published
later than now.
- Fix a place where we might trigger an assert if we can't build our
own server descriptor yet.
forward-port the 0.1.1.22 changelog, minus the line about the osx uninstaller. svn:r6738
2006-07-06 18:19:00 +02:00
Changes in version 0.1.1.22 - 2006-07-05
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a big bug that was causing servers to not find themselves
reachable if they changed IP addresses. Since only 0.1.1.22+
servers can do reachability testing correctly, now we automatically
make sure to test via one of these.
- Fix to allow clients and mirrors to learn directory info from
descriptor downloads that get cut off partway through.
- Directory authorities had a bug in deciding if a newly published
descriptor was novel enough to make everybody want a copy -- a few
servers seem to be publishing new descriptors many times a minute.
o Minor bugfixes:
- Fix a rare bug that was causing some servers to complain about
"closing wedged cpuworkers" and skip some circuit create requests.
- Make the Exit flag in directory status documents actually work.
forward-port the 0.1.1.21 changelog. svn:r6600
2006-06-11 03:42:21 +02:00
Changes in version 0.1.1.21 - 2006-06-10
o Crash and assert fixes from 0.1.1.20:
- Fix a rare crash on Tor servers that have enabled hibernation.
- Fix a seg fault on startup for Tor networks that use only one
directory authority.
- Fix an assert from a race condition that occurs on Tor servers
while exiting, where various threads are trying to log that they're
exiting, and delete the logs, at the same time.
- Make our unit tests pass again on certain obscure platforms.
o Other fixes:
- Add support for building SUSE RPM packages.
- Speed up initial bootstrapping for clients: if we are making our
first ever connection to any entry guard, then don't mark it down
right after that.
- When only one Tor server in the network is labelled as a guard,
and we've already picked him, we would cycle endlessly picking him
again, being unhappy about it, etc. Now we specifically exclude
current guards when picking a new guard.
- Servers send create cells more reliably after the TLS connection
is established: we were sometimes forgetting to send half of them
when we had more than one pending.
- If we get a create cell that asks us to extend somewhere, but the
Tor server there doesn't match the expected digest, we now send
a destroy cell back, rather than silently doing nothing.
- Make options->RedirectExit work again.
- Make cookie authentication for the controller work again.
- Stop being picky about unusual characters in the arguments to
mapaddress. It's none of our business.
- Add a new config option "TestVia" that lets you specify preferred
middle hops to use for test circuits. Perhaps this will let me
debug the reachability problems better.
o Log / documentation fixes:
- If we're a server and some peer has a broken TLS certificate, don't
log about it unless ProtocolWarnings is set, i.e., we want to hear
about protocol violations by others.
- Fix spelling of VirtualAddrNetwork in man page.
- Add a better explanation at the top of the autogenerated torrc file
about what happened to our old torrc.

o Minor bugs:
- Regenerate our local descriptor if it's dirty and we try to use
it locally (e.g. if it changes during reachability detection).
- If we setconf our ORPort to 0, we continued to listen on the
old ORPort and receive connections.
- Avoid a second warning about machine/limits.h on Debian
GNU/kFreeBSD.
- Be willing to add our own routerinfo into the routerlist.
Now authorities will include themselves in their directories
and network-statuses.
- Stop trying to upload rendezvous descriptors to every
directory authority: only try the v1 authorities.
- Servers no longer complain when they think they're not
registered with the directory authorities. There were too many
false positives.
- Backport dist-rpm changes so rpms can be built without errors.

break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
o Features:
- Implement an option, VirtualAddrMask, to set which addresses
get handed out in response to mapaddress requests. This works
around a bug in tsocks where 127.0.0.0/8 is never socksified.
Changes in version 0.1.1.18-rc - 2006-04-10
o Major fixes:
- Work harder to download live network-statuses from all the
directory authorities we know about. Improve the threshold
decision logic so we're more robust to edge cases.
- When fetching rendezvous descriptors, we were willing to ask
v2 authorities too, which would always return 404.
o Minor fixes:
- Stop listing down or invalid nodes in the v1 directory. This will
reduce its bulk by about 1/3, and reduce load on directory
mirrors.
- When deciding whether a router is Fast or Guard-worthy, consider
his advertised BandwidthRate and not just the BandwidthCapacity.
- No longer ship INSTALL and README files -- they are useless now.
- Force rpmbuild to behave and honor target_cpu.

2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
- Start to include translated versions of the tor-doc-*.html
files, along with the screenshots. Still needs more work.
- Start sending back 512 and 451 errors if mapaddress fails,
rather than not sending anything back at all.
- When we fail to bind or listen on an incoming or outgoing
socket, we should close it before failing. otherwise we just
leak it. (thanks to weasel for finding.)
- Allow "getinfo dir/status/foo" to work, as long as your DirPort
is enabled. (This is a hack, and will be fixed in 0.1.2.x.)
- Make NoPublish (even though deprecated) work again.
- Fix a minor security flaw where a versioning auth dirserver
could list a recommended version many times in a row to make
clients more convinced that it's recommended.
- Fix crash bug if there are two unregistered servers running
with the same nickname, one of them is down, and you ask for
them by nickname in your EntryNodes or ExitNodes. Also, try
to pick the one that's running rather than an arbitrary one.
- Fix an infinite loop we could hit if we go offline for too long.
- Complain when we hit WSAENOBUFS on recv() or write() too.
Perhaps this will help us hunt the bug.
- If you're not a versioning dirserver, don't put the string
"client-versions \nserver-versions \n" in your network-status.
- Lower the minimum required number of file descriptors to 1000,
so we can have some overhead for Valgrind on Linux, where the
default ulimit -n is 1024.

Changes in version 0.1.1.17-rc - 2006-03-28
o Major fixes:
- Clients and servers since 0.1.1.10-alpha have been expiring
connections whenever they are idle for 5 minutes and they *do*
have circuits on them. Oops. With this new version, clients will
discard their previous entry guard choices and avoid choosing
entry guards running these flawed versions.
- Fix memory leak when uncompressing concatenated zlib streams. This
was causing substantial leaks over time on Tor servers.
- The v1 directory was including servers as much as 48 hours old,
because that's how the new routerlist->routers works. Now only
include them if they're 20 hours old or less.
o Minor fixes:
- Resume building on irix64, netbsd 2.0, etc.
- On non-gcc compilers (e.g. solaris), use "-g -O" instead of
"-Wall -g -O2".
- Stop writing the "router.desc" file, ever. Nothing uses it anymore,
and it is confusing some users.
- Mirrors stop caching the v1 directory so often.
- Make the max number of old descriptors that a cache will hold
rise with the number of directory authorities, so we can scale.
- Change our win32 uname() hack to be more forgiving about what
win32 versions it thinks it's found.
o New features:
- Add lefkada.eecs.harvard.edu as a fourth authoritative directory
server.
- When the controller's *setconf commands fail, collect an error
message in a string and hand it back to the controller.

- Make the v2 dir's "Fast" flag based on relative capacity, just

o New config options rather than constants in the code:
- SocksTimeout: How long do we let a socks connection wait
unattached before we fail it?
- CircuitBuildTimeout: Cull non-open circuits that were born
at least this many seconds ago.
- CircuitIdleTimeout: Cull open clean circuits that were born
at least this many seconds ago.
Changes in version 0.1.1.16-rc - 2006-03-18
o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.15-rc:
- Fix assert when the controller asks to attachstream a connect-wait
or resolve-wait stream.
- Now do address rewriting when the controller asks us to attach
to a particular circuit too. This will let Blossom specify
"moria2.exit" without having to learn what moria2's IP address is.
- Make the "tor --verify-config" command-line work again, so people
can automatically check if their torrc will parse.
- Authoritative dirservers no longer require an open connection from
a server to consider him "reachable". We need this change because
when we add new auth dirservers, old servers won't know not to
hang up on them.
- Let Tor build on Sun CC again.
- Fix an off-by-one buffer size in dirserv.c that magically never
hit our three authorities but broke sjmurdoch's own tor network.
- If we as a directory mirror don't know of any v1 directory
authorities, then don't try to cache any v1 directories.
- Stop warning about unknown servers in our family when they are
given as hex digests.
- Stop complaining as quickly to the server operator that he
hasn't registered his nickname/key binding.
- Various cleanups so we can add new V2 Auth Dirservers.
- Change "AllowUnverifiedNodes" to "AllowInvalidNodes", to
reflect the updated flags in our v2 dir protocol.
- Resume allowing non-printable characters for exit streams (both
for connecting and for resolving). Now we tolerate applications
that don't follow the RFCs. But continue to block malformed names
at the socks side.
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Fix assert bug in close_logs(): when we close and delete logs,
remove them all from the global "logfiles" list.
- Fix minor integer overflow in calculating when we expect to use up
our bandwidth allocation before hibernating.
- Fix a couple of bugs in OpenSSL detection. Also, deal better when
there are multiple SSLs installed with different versions.
- When we try to be a server and Address is not explicitly set and
our hostname resolves to a private IP address, try to use an
interface address if it has a public address. Now Windows machines
that think of themselves as localhost can work by default.
o New features:
- Let the controller ask for GETINFO dir/server/foo so it can ask
directly rather than connecting to the dir port.

that it doesn't want Tor to use in circuits. Implement

SETROUTERPURPOSE and modify +POSTDESCRIPTOR to do this.
- New config option SafeSocks to reject all application connections
using unsafe socks protocols. Defaults to off.
Changes in version 0.1.1.15-rc - 2006-03-11
o Bugfixes and cleanups:
- When we're printing strings from the network, don't try to print
non-printable characters. This protects us against shell escape
sequence exploits, and also against attacks to fool humans into
misreading their logs.
- Fix a bug where Tor would fail to establish any connections if you
left it off for 24 hours and then started it: we were happy with
the obsolete network statuses, but they all referred to router
descriptors that were too old to fetch, so we ended up with no
valid router descriptors.
- Fix a seg fault in the controller's "getinfo orconn-status"
command while listing status on incoming handshaking connections.
Introduce a status name "NEW" for these connections.
- If we get a linelist or linelist_s config option from the torrc
(e.g. ExitPolicy) and it has no value, warn and skip rather than
silently resetting it to its default.
- Don't abandon entry guards until they've been down or gone for
a whole month.
- Cleaner and quieter log messages.
o New features:
- New controller signal NEWNYM that makes new application requests
use clean circuits.
- Add a new circuit purpose 'controller' to let the controller ask
for a circuit that Tor won't try to use. Extend the EXTENDCIRCUIT
controller command to let you specify the purpose if you're
go nuts rewriting (changelog) history

starting a new circuit. Add a new SETCIRCUITPURPOSE controller
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
command to let you change a circuit's purpose after it's been
created.
- Accept "private:*" in routerdesc exit policies; not generated yet
because older Tors do not understand it.
- Add BSD-style contributed startup script "rc.subr" from Peter
Thoenen.
Changes in version 0.1.1.14-alpha - 2006-02-20
o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.x:
- Don't die if we ask for a stdout or stderr log (even implicitly)
and we're set to RunAsDaemon -- just warn.
- We still had a few bugs in the OR connection rotation code that
caused directory servers to slowly aggregate connections to other
fast Tor servers. This time for sure!
- Make log entries on Win32 include the name of the function again.
- We were treating a pair of exit policies if they were equal even
if one said accept and the other said reject -- causing us to
not always publish a new descriptor since we thought nothing
had changed.
- Retry pending server downloads as well as pending networkstatus
downloads when we unexpectedly get a socks request.
- We were ignoring the IS_FAST flag in the directory status,
meaning we were willing to pick trivial-bandwidth nodes for "fast"
connections.
- If the controller's SAVECONF command fails (e.g. due to file
permissions), let the controller know that it failed.
o Features:
- If we're trying to be a Tor server and running Windows 95/98/ME
as a server, explain that we'll likely crash.
- When we're a server, a client asks for an old-style directory,
and our write bucket is empty, don't give it to him. This way
small servers can continue to serve the directory *sometimes*,
without getting overloaded.
- Compress exit policies even more -- look for duplicate lines
and remove them.
- Clients now honor the "guard" flag in the router status when
picking entry guards, rather than looking at is_fast or is_stable.
- Retain unrecognized lines in $DATADIR/state file, so that we can
be forward-compatible.
- Generate 18.0.0.0/8 address policy format in descs when we can;
warn when the mask is not reducible to a bit-prefix.

2012-01-23 09:47:48 +01:00
- Let the user set ControlListenAddress in the torrc. This can be
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
dangerous, but there are some cases (like a secured LAN) where it
makes sense.
- Split ReachableAddresses into ReachableDirAddresses and
ReachableORAddresses, so we can restrict Dir conns to port 80
and OR conns to port 443.
- Now we can target arch and OS in rpm builds (contributed by
Phobos). Also make the resulting dist-rpm filename match the
target arch.
- New config options to help controllers: FetchServerDescriptors
and FetchHidServDescriptors for whether to fetch server
info and hidserv info or let the controller do it, and
PublishServerDescriptor and PublishHidServDescriptors.
- Also let the controller set the __AllDirActionsPrivate config
option if you want all directory fetches/publishes to happen via
Tor (it assumes your controller bootstraps your circuits).
Changes in version 0.1.0.17 - 2006-02-17
o Crash bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- When servers with a non-zero DirPort came out of hibernation,
sometimes they would trigger an assert.
o Other important bugfixes:
- On platforms that don't have getrlimit (like Windows), we were
artificially constraining ourselves to a max of 1024
connections. Now just assume that we can handle as many as 15000
connections. Hopefully this won't cause other problems.
o Backported features:
- When we're a server, a client asks for an old-style directory,
and our write bucket is empty, don't give it to him. This way
small servers can continue to serve the directory *sometimes*,
without getting overloaded.
- Whenever you get a 503 in response to a directory fetch, try
once more. This will become important once servers start sending
503's whenever they feel busy.
- Fetch a new directory every 120 minutes, not every 40 minutes.
Now that we have hundreds of thousands of users running the old
directory algorithm, it's starting to hurt a lot.
- Bump up the period for forcing a hidden service descriptor upload
from 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Changes in version 0.1.1.13-alpha - 2006-02-09
o Crashes in 0.1.1.x:
- When you tried to setconf ORPort via the controller, Tor would
crash. So people using TorCP to become a server were sad.
- Solve (I hope) the stack-smashing bug that we were seeing on fast
servers. The problem appears to be something do with OpenSSL's
random number generation, or how we call it, or something. Let me
know if the crashes continue.
- Turn crypto hardware acceleration off by default, until we find
somebody smart who can test it for us. (It appears to produce
seg faults in at least some cases.)
- Fix a rare assert error when we've tried all intro points for
a hidden service and we try fetching the service descriptor again:
"Assertion conn->state != AP_CONN_STATE_RENDDESC_WAIT failed"
o Major fixes:
- Fix a major load balance bug: we were round-robining in 16 KB
continue messing with the changelog. it's getting better now. svn:r6468
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
chunks, and servers with bandwidthrate of 20 KB, while downloading
a 600 KB directory, would starve their other connections. Now we
try to be a bit more fair.
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
- Dir authorities and mirrors were never expiring the newest
descriptor for each server, causing memory and directory bloat.
- Fix memory-bloating and connection-bloating bug on servers: We
were never closing any connection that had ever had a circuit on
it, because we were checking conn->n_circuits == 0, yet we had a
bug that let it go negative.
- Make Tor work using squid as your http proxy again -- squid
returns an error if you ask for a URL that's too long, and it uses
a really generic error message. Plus, many people are behind a
transparent squid so they don't even realize it.
- On platforms that don't have getrlimit (like Windows), we were
artificially constraining ourselves to a max of 1024
connections. Now just assume that we can handle as many as 15000
connections. Hopefully this won't cause other problems.
- Add a new config option ExitPolicyRejectPrivate which defaults to
1. This means all exit policies will begin with rejecting private
addresses, unless the server operator explicitly turns it off.
o Major features:

2007-10-19 01:14:42 +02:00
- Clients no longer download descriptors for non-running
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
descriptors.
- Before we add new directory authorities, we should make it
clear that only v1 authorities should receive/publish hidden
service descriptors.
o Minor features:
- As soon as we've fetched some more directory info, immediately
try to download more server descriptors. This way we don't have
a 10 second pause during initial bootstrapping.
- Remove even more loud log messages that the server operator can't
do anything about.
- When we're running an obsolete or un-recommended version, make
the log message more clear about what the problem is and what
versions *are* still recommended.
- Provide a more useful warn message when our onion queue gets full:
the CPU is too slow or the exit policy is too liberal.
- Don't warn when we receive a 503 from a dirserver/cache -- this
will pave the way for them being able to refuse if they're busy.
- When we fail to bind a listener, try to provide a more useful
log message: e.g., "Is Tor already running?"
- Adjust tor-spec to parameterize cell and key lengths. Now Ian
Goldberg can prove things about our handshake protocol more
easily.
- MaxConn has been obsolete for a while now. Document the ConnLimit
config option, which is a *minimum* number of file descriptors
that must be available else Tor refuses to start.
- Apply Matt Ghali's --with-syslog-facility patch to ./configure
if you log to syslog and want something other than LOG_DAEMON.
- Make dirservers generate a separate "guard" flag to mean,
"would make a good entry guard". Make clients parse it and vote
on it. Not used by clients yet.
- Implement --with-libevent-dir option to ./configure. Also, improve
search techniques to find libevent, and use those for openssl too.
- Bump the default bandwidthrate to 3 MB, and burst to 6 MB
- Only start testing reachability once we've established a
circuit. This will make startup on dirservers less noisy.
- Don't try to upload hidden service descriptors until we have
established a circuit.
- Fix the controller's "attachstream 0" command to treat conn like
it just connected, doing address remapping, handling .exit and
.onion idioms, and so on. Now we're more uniform in making sure
that the controller hears about new and closing connections.
Changes in version 0.1.1.12-alpha - 2006-01-11
o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.x:
- The fix to close duplicate server connections was closing all
Tor client connections if they didn't establish a circuit
quickly enough. Oops.
- Fix minor memory issue (double-free) that happened on exit.
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Tor didn't warn when it failed to open a log file.

Changes in version 0.1.1.11-alpha - 2006-01-10
o Crashes in 0.1.1.x:
- Include all the assert/crash fixes from 0.1.0.16.
- If you start Tor and then quit very quickly, there were some
races that tried to free things that weren't allocated yet.
- Fix a rare memory stomp if you're running hidden services.
- Fix segfault when specifying DirServer in config without nickname.
- Fix a seg fault when you finish connecting to a server but at
that moment you dump his server descriptor.
- Extendcircuit and Attachstream controller commands would
assert/crash if you don't give them enough arguments.
- Fix an assert error when we're out of space in the connection_list
and we try to post a hidden service descriptor (reported by weasel).
- If you specify a relative torrc path and you set RunAsDaemon in
your torrc, then it chdir()'s to the new directory. If you HUP,
it tries to load the new torrc location, fails, and exits.
The fix: no longer allow a relative path to torrc using -f.
o Major features:
- Implement "entry guards": automatically choose a handful of entry
nodes and stick with them for all circuits. Only pick new guards
when the ones you have are unsuitable, and if the old guards
become suitable again, switch back. This will increase security
dramatically against certain end-point attacks. The EntryNodes
config option now provides some hints about which entry guards you
want to use most; and StrictEntryNodes means to only use those.
- New directory logic: download by descriptor digest, not by
fingerprint. Caches try to download all listed digests from
authorities; clients try to download "best" digests from caches.
This avoids partitioning and isolating attacks better.
- Make the "stable" router flag in network-status be the median of
the uptimes of running valid servers, and make clients pay
attention to the network-status flags. Thus the cutoff adapts
to the stability of the network as a whole, making IRC, IM, etc
connections more reliable.
o Major fixes:
continue messing with the changelog. it's getting better now. svn:r6468
2006-05-23 08:20:35 +02:00
- Tor servers with dynamic IP addresses were needing to wait 18
hours before they could start doing reachability testing using
the new IP address and ports. This is because they were using
the internal descriptor to learn what to test, yet they were only
rebuilding the descriptor once they decided they were reachable.
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
- Tor 0.1.1.9 and 0.1.1.10 had a serious bug that caused clients
to download certain server descriptors, throw them away, and then
fetch them again after 30 minutes. Now mirrors throw away these
server descriptors so clients can't get them.
- We were leaving duplicate connections to other ORs open for a week,
rather than closing them once we detect a duplicate. This only
really affected authdirservers, but it affected them a lot.
- Spread the authdirservers' reachability testing over the entire
testing interval, so we don't try to do 500 TLS's at once every
20 minutes.
o Minor fixes:
- If the network is down, and we try to connect to a conn because
we have a circuit in mind, and we timeout (30 seconds) because the
network never answers, we were expiring the circuit, but we weren't
obsoleting the connection or telling the entry_guards functions.
- Some Tor servers process billions of cells per day. These statistics
need to be uint64_t's.
- Check for integer overflows in more places, when adding elements
to smartlists. This could possibly prevent a buffer overflow
on malicious huge inputs. I don't see any, but I haven't looked
carefully.
- ReachableAddresses kept growing new "reject *:*" lines on every
setconf/reload.
- When you "setconf log" via the controller, it should remove all
logs. We were automatically adding back in a "log notice stdout".

circuits until they had nodes with high uptime. Be more tolerant.
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
- We were marking servers down when they could not answer every piece
of the directory request we sent them. This was far too harsh.
- Fix the torify (tsocks) config file to not use Tor for localhost
connections.
- Directory authorities now go to the proper authority when asking for
a networkstatus, even when they want a compressed one.
- Fix a harmless bug that was causing Tor servers to log
"Got an end because of misc error, but we're not an AP. Closing."
- Authorities were treating their own descriptor changes as cosmetic,
meaning the descriptor available in the network-status and the
descriptor that clients downloaded were different.
- The OS X installer was adding a symlink for tor_resolve but
the binary was called tor-resolve (reported by Thomas Hardly).
- Workaround a problem with some http proxies where they refuse GET
requests that specify "Content-Length: 0" (reported by Adrian).
- Fix wrong log message when you add a "HiddenServiceNodes" config
line without any HiddenServiceDir line (reported by Chris Thomas).
o Minor features:
- Write the TorVersion into the state file so we have a prayer of
keeping forward and backward compatibility.
- Revive the FascistFirewall config option rather than eliminating it:
now it's a synonym for ReachableAddresses *:80,*:443.
- Clients choose directory servers from the network status lists,
not from their internal list of router descriptors. Now they can
go to caches directly rather than needing to go to authorities
to bootstrap.
- Directory authorities ignore router descriptors that have only
cosmetic differences: do this for 0.1.0.x servers now too.
- Add a new flag to network-status indicating whether the server
can answer v2 directory requests too.
- Authdirs now stop whining so loudly about bad descriptors that
they fetch from other dirservers. So when there's a log complaint,
it's for sure from a freshly uploaded descriptor.
- Reduce memory requirements in our structs by changing the order
of fields.
- There used to be two ways to specify your listening ports in a
server descriptor: on the "router" line and with a separate "ports"
line. Remove support for the "ports" line.
- New config option "AuthDirRejectUnlisted" for auth dirservers as
a panic button: if we get flooded with unusable servers we can
revert to only listing servers in the approved-routers file.
- Auth dir servers can now mark a fingerprint as "!reject" or
"!invalid" in the approved-routers file (as its nickname), to
refuse descriptors outright or include them but marked as invalid.
- Servers store bandwidth history across restarts/crashes.
- Add reasons to DESTROY and RELAY_TRUNCATED cells, so clients can
get a better idea of why their circuits failed. Not used yet.
- Directory mirrors now cache up to 16 unrecognized network-status
docs. Now we can add new authdirservers and they'll be cached too.
- When picking a random directory, prefer non-authorities if any
are known.
- New controller option "getinfo desc/all-recent" to fetch the
latest server descriptor for every router that Tor knows about.
Changes in version 0.1.0.16 - 2006-01-02
o Crash bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- On Windows, build with a libevent patch from "I-M Weasel" to avoid
corrupting the heap, losing FDs, or crashing when we need to resize
the fd_sets. (This affects the Win32 binaries, not Tor's sources.)
- It turns out sparc64 platforms crash on unaligned memory access
too -- so detect and avoid this.
- Handle truncated compressed data correctly (by detecting it and
giving an error).
- Fix possible-but-unlikely free(NULL) in control.c.
- When we were closing connections, there was a rare case that
stomped on memory, triggering seg faults and asserts.
- Avoid potential infinite recursion when building a descriptor. (We
don't know that it ever happened, but better to fix it anyway.)
- We were neglecting to unlink marked circuits from soon-to-close OR
connections, which caused some rare scribbling on freed memory.
- Fix a memory stomping race bug when closing the joining point of two
rendezvous circuits.
- Fix an assert in time parsing found by Steven Murdoch.
o Other bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- When we're doing reachability testing, provide more useful log
messages so the operator knows what to expect.
- Do not check whether DirPort is reachable when we are suppressing
advertising it because of hibernation.
- When building with -static or on Solaris, we sometimes needed -ldl.
- When we're deciding whether a stream has enough circuits around
that can handle it, count the freshly dirty ones and not the ones
that are so dirty they won't be able to handle it.
- When we're expiring old circuits, we had a logic error that caused
us to close new rendezvous circuits rather than old ones.
- Give a more helpful log message when you try to change ORPort via
the controller: you should upgrade Tor if you want that to work.
- We were failing to parse Tor versions that start with "Tor ".
- Tolerate faulty streams better: when a stream fails for reason
exitpolicy, stop assuming that the router is lying about his exit
policy. When a stream fails for reason misc, allow it to retry just
as if it was resolvefailed. When a stream has failed three times,
reset its failure count so we can try again and get all three tries.
Changes in version 0.1.1.10-alpha - 2005-12-11
o Correctness bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- On Windows, build with a libevent patch from "I-M Weasel" to avoid
corrupting the heap, losing FDs, or crashing when we need to resize
the fd_sets. (This affects the Win32 binaries, not Tor's sources.)
- Stop doing the complex voodoo overkill checking for insecure
Diffie-Hellman keys. Just check if it's in [2,p-2] and be happy.
- When we were closing connections, there was a rare case that
stomped on memory, triggering seg faults and asserts.
- We were neglecting to unlink marked circuits from soon-to-close OR
connections, which caused some rare scribbling on freed memory.
- When we're deciding whether a stream has enough circuits around
that can handle it, count the freshly dirty ones and not the ones
that are so dirty they won't be able to handle it.

o Security bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Refuse server descriptors if the fingerprint line doesn't match
the included identity key. Tor doesn't care, but other apps (and
humans) might actually be trusting the fingerprint line.
- We used to kill the circuit when we receive a relay command we
don't recognize. Now we just drop it.
- Start obeying our firewall options more rigorously:
. If we can't get to a dirserver directly, try going via Tor.
. Don't ever try to connect (as a client) to a place our
firewall options forbid.
. If we specify a proxy and also firewall options, obey the
firewall options even when we're using the proxy: some proxies
can only proxy to certain destinations.
- Fix a bug found by Lasse Overlier: when we were making internal
circuits (intended to be cannibalized later for rendezvous and
introduction circuits), we were picking them so that they had
useful exit nodes. There was no need for this, and it actually
aids some statistical attacks.
- Start treating internal circuits and exit circuits separately.
It's important to keep them separate because internal circuits
have their last hops picked like middle hops, rather than like
exit hops. So exiting on them will break the user's expectations.

o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.x:
- Take out the mis-feature where we tried to detect IP address
flapping for people with DynDNS, and chose not to upload a new
server descriptor sometimes.
- Try to be compatible with OpenSSL 0.9.6 again.
- Log fix: when the controller is logging about .onion addresses,
sometimes it didn't include the ".onion" part of the address.
- Don't try to modify options->DirServers internally -- if the
user didn't specify any, just add the default ones directly to
the trusted dirserver list. This fixes a bug where people running
controllers would use SETCONF on some totally unrelated config
option, and Tor would start yelling at them about changing their
DirServer lines.
- Let the controller's redirectstream command specify a port, in
case the controller wants to change that too.
- When we requested a pile of server descriptors, we sometimes
accidentally launched a duplicate request for the first one.
- Bugfix for trackhostexits: write down the fingerprint of the
chosen exit, not its nickname, because the chosen exit might not
be verified.
- When parsing foo.exit, if foo is unknown, and we are leaving
circuits unattached, set the chosen_exit field and leave the
address empty. This matters because controllers got confused
otherwise.
- Directory authorities no longer try to download server
descriptors that they know they will reject.
o Features and updates:
- Replace balanced trees with hash tables: this should make stuff
significantly faster.
- Resume using the AES counter-mode implementation that we ship,
rather than OpenSSL's. Ours is significantly faster.
- Many other CPU and memory improvements.

- Warn when listening on a public address for socks. I suspect a
lot of people are setting themselves up as open socks proxies,
and they have no idea that jerks on the Internet are using them,
since they simply proxy the traffic into the Tor network.

Changes in version 0.1.1.9-alpha - 2005-11-15
o Usability improvements:
- Start calling it FooListenAddress rather than FooBindAddress,
since few of our users know what it means to bind an address
or port.

2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
- Reduce clutter in server logs. We're going to try to make
them actually usable now. New config option ProtocolWarnings that
lets you hear about how _other Tors_ are breaking the protocol. Off
by default.
- Divide log messages into logging domains. Once we put some sort
of interface on this, it will let people looking at more verbose
break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
log levels specify the topics they want to hear more about.
- Make directory servers return better http 404 error messages
instead of a generic "Servers unavailable".
- Check for even more Windows version flags when writing the platform
string in server descriptors, and note any we don't recognize.
- Clean up more of the OpenSSL memory when exiting, so we can detect
memory leaks better.
- Make directory authorities be non-versioning, non-naming by
default. Now we can add new directory servers without requiring
their operators to pay close attention.

2006-05-22 22:00:12 +02:00
- When logging via syslog, include the pid whenever we provide
a log entry. Suggested by Todd Fries.

o Performance improvements:
- Directory servers now silently throw away new descriptors that
haven't changed much if the timestamps are similar. We do this to
tolerate older Tor servers that upload a new descriptor every 15
minutes. (It seemed like a good idea at the time.)
- Inline bottleneck smartlist functions; use fast versions by default.
- Add a "Map from digest to void*" abstraction digestmap_t so we
can do less hex encoding/decoding. Use it in router_get_by_digest()
to resolve a performance bottleneck.
- Allow tor_gzip_uncompress to extract as much as possible from
truncated compressed data. Try to extract as many
descriptors as possible from truncated http responses (when
DIR_PURPOSE_FETCH_ROUTERDESC).
- Make circ->onionskin a pointer, not a static array. moria2 was using
125000 circuit_t's after it had been up for a few weeks, which
translates to 20+ megs of wasted space.
- The private half of our EDH handshake keys are now chosen out
of 320 bits, not 1024 bits. (Suggested by Ian Goldberg.)

clients can start asking by digest of descriptor rather than by
fingerprint of server.

o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Do round-robin writes of at most 16 kB per write. This might be
more fair on loaded Tor servers, and it might resolve our Windows
crash bug. It might also slow things down.
- Our TLS handshakes were generating a single public/private
keypair for the TLS context, rather than making a new one for
each new connections. Oops. (But we were still rotating them
periodically, so it's not so bad.)
- When we were cannibalizing a circuit with a particular exit
node in mind, we weren't checking to see if that exit node was
already present earlier in the circuit. Oops.
- When a Tor server's IP changes (e.g. from a dyndns address),
upload a new descriptor so clients will learn too.
- Really busy servers were keeping enough circuits open on stable
connections that they were wrapping around the circuit_id
space. (It's only two bytes.) This exposed a bug where we would
feel free to reuse a circuit_id even if it still exists but has
been marked for close. Try to fix this bug. Some bug remains.
- If we would close a stream early (e.g. it asks for a .exit that
we know would refuse it) but the LeaveStreamsUnattached config
option is set by the controller, then don't close it.

o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.8-alpha:
- Fix a big pile of memory leaks, some of them serious.
- Do not try to download a routerdesc if we would immediately reject
it as obsolete.
- Resume inserting a newline between all router descriptors when
generating (old style) signed directories, since our spec says
we do.
- When providing content-type application/octet-stream for
server descriptors using .z, we were leaving out the
content-encoding header. Oops. (Everything tolerated this just
fine, but that doesn't mean we need to be part of the problem.)
- Fix a potential seg fault in getconf and getinfo using version 1
of the controller protocol.
- Avoid crash: do not check whether DirPort is reachable when we
are suppressing it because of hibernation.
- Make --hash-password not crash on exit.
Changes in version 0.1.1.8-alpha - 2005-10-07
o New features (major):
- Clients don't download or use the directory anymore. Now they
download and use network-statuses from the trusted dirservers,
and fetch individual server descriptors as needed from mirrors.
See dir-spec.txt for all the gory details.
- Be more conservative about whether to advertise our DirPort.
The main change is to not advertise if we're running at capacity
and either a) we could hibernate or b) our capacity is low and
we're using a default DirPort.
- Use OpenSSL's AES when OpenSSL has version 0.9.7 or later.

break out 0.1.1 changelog entries svn:r9418
2007-01-26 07:34:48 +01:00
o New features (minor):
- Try to be smart about when to retry network-status and
server-descriptor fetches. Still needs some tuning.
- Stop parsing, storing, or using running-routers output (but
mirrors still cache and serve it).
- Consider a threshold of versioning dirservers (dirservers who have
an opinion about which Tor versions are still recommended) before
deciding whether to warn the user that he's obsolete.
- Dirservers can now reject/invalidate by key and IP, with the
config options "AuthDirInvalid" and "AuthDirReject". This is
useful since currently we automatically list servers as running
and usable even if we know they're jerks.
- Provide dire warnings to any users who set DirServer; move it out
of torrc.sample and into torrc.complete.
- Add MyFamily to torrc.sample in the server section.
- Add nicknames to the DirServer line, so we can refer to them
without requiring all our users to memorize their IP addresses.
- When we get an EOF or a timeout on a directory connection, note
how many bytes of serverdesc we are dropping. This will help
us determine whether it is smart to parse incomplete serverdesc
responses.
- Add a new function to "change pseudonyms" -- that is, to stop
using any currently-dirty circuits for new streams, so we don't
link new actions to old actions. Currently it's only called on
HUP (or SIGNAL RELOAD).
- On sighup, if UseHelperNodes changed to 1, use new circuits.
- Start using RAND_bytes rather than RAND_pseudo_bytes from
OpenSSL. Also, reseed our entropy every hour, not just at
startup. And entropy in 512-bit chunks, not 160-bit chunks.
o Fixes on 0.1.1.7-alpha:
- Nobody ever implemented EVENT_ADDRMAP for control protocol
version 0, so don't let version 0 controllers ask for it.
- If you requested something with too many newlines via the
v1 controller protocol, you could crash tor.
- Fix a number of memory leaks, including some pretty serious ones.
- Re-enable DirPort testing again, so Tor servers will be willing
to advertise their DirPort if it's reachable.
- On TLS handshake, only check the other router's nickname against
its expected nickname if is_named is set.
o Fixes forward-ported from 0.1.0.15:
- Don't crash when we don't have any spare file descriptors and we
try to spawn a dns or cpu worker.
- Make the numbers in read-history and write-history into uint64s,
so they don't overflow and publish negatives in the descriptor.

o Fixes on 0.1.0.x:
- For the OS X package's modified privoxy config file, comment
out the "logfile" line so we don't log everything passed
through privoxy.
- We were whining about using socks4 or socks5-with-local-lookup
even when it's an IP in the "virtual" range we designed exactly
for this case.
- We were leaking some memory every time the client changes IPs.
- Never call free() on tor_malloc()d memory. This will help us
use dmalloc to detect memory leaks.
- Check for named servers when looking them up by nickname;
warn when we'recalling a non-named server by its nickname;
don't warn twice about the same name.
- Try to list MyFamily elements by key, not by nickname, and warn
if we've not heard of the server.
- Make windows platform detection (uname equivalent) smarter.
- It turns out sparc64 doesn't like unaligned access either.

Changes in version 0.1.0.15 - 2005-09-23
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Reject ports 465 and 587 (spam targets) in default exit policy.
- Don't crash when we don't have any spare file descriptors and we
try to spawn a dns or cpu worker.
- Get rid of IgnoreVersion undocumented config option, and make us
only warn, never exit, when we're running an obsolete version.
- Don't try to print a null string when your server finds itself to
be unreachable and the Address config option is empty.
- Make the numbers in read-history and write-history into uint64s,
so they don't overflow and publish negatives in the descriptor.
- Fix a minor memory leak in smartlist_string_remove().
- We were only allowing ourselves to upload a server descriptor at
most every 20 minutes, even if it changed earlier than that.
- Clean up log entries that pointed to old URLs.

Changes in version 0.1.1.7-alpha - 2005-09-14
o Fixes on 0.1.1.6-alpha:
- Exit servers were crashing when people asked them to make a
connection to an address not in their exit policy.
- Looking up a non-existent stream for a v1 control connection would
cause a segfault.
- Fix a seg fault if we ask a dirserver for a descriptor by
fingerprint but he doesn't know about him.
- SETCONF was appending items to linelists, not clearing them.
- SETCONF SocksBindAddress killed Tor if it fails to bind. Now back
out and refuse the setconf if it would fail.
- Downgrade the dirserver log messages when whining about
unreachability.
o New features:
- Add Peter Palfrader's check-tor script to tor/contrib/
It lets you easily check whether a given server (referenced by
nickname) is reachable by you.
- Numerous changes to move towards client-side v2 directories. Not
enabled yet.
o Fixes on 0.1.0.x:
- If the user gave tor an odd number of command-line arguments,
we were silently ignoring the last one. Now we complain and fail.
[This wins the oldest-bug prize -- this bug has been present since
November 2002, as released in Tor 0.0.0.]
- Do not use unaligned memory access on alpha, mips, or mipsel.
It *works*, but is very slow, so we treat them as if it doesn't.
- Retry directory requests if we fail to get an answer we like
from a given dirserver (we were retrying before, but only if
we fail to connect).
- When writing the RecommendedVersions line, sort them first.
- When the client asked for a rendezvous port that the hidden
service didn't want to provide, we were sending an IP address
back along with the end cell. Fortunately, it was zero. But stop
that anyway.
- Correct "your server is reachable" log entries to indicate that
it was self-testing that told us so.
Changes in version 0.1.1.6-alpha - 2005-09-09
o Fixes on 0.1.1.5-alpha:
- We broke fascistfirewall in 0.1.1.5-alpha. Oops.
- Fix segfault in unit tests in 0.1.1.5-alpha. Oops.
- Fix bug with tor_memmem finding a match at the end of the string.
- Make unit tests run without segfaulting.
- Resolve some solaris x86 compile warnings.
- Handle duplicate lines in approved-routers files without warning.
- Fix bug where as soon as a server refused any requests due to his
exit policy (e.g. when we ask for localhost and he tells us that's
127.0.0.1 and he won't do it), we decided he wasn't obeying his
exit policy using him for any exits.
- Only do openssl hardware accelerator stuff if openssl version is
at least 0.9.7.
o New controller features/fixes:
- Add a "RESETCONF" command so you can set config options like
AllowUnverifiedNodes and LongLivedPorts to "". Also, if you give
a config option in the torrc with no value, then it clears it
entirely (rather than setting it to its default).
- Add a "GETINFO config-file" to tell us where torrc is.
- Avoid sending blank lines when GETINFO replies should be empty.
- Add a QUIT command for the controller (for using it manually).
- Fix a bug in SAVECONF that was adding default dirservers and
other redundant entries to the torrc file.
o Start on the new directory design:
- Generate, publish, cache, serve new network-status format.
- Publish individual descriptors (by fingerprint, by "all", and by
"tell me yours").
- Publish client and server recommended versions separately.
- Allow tor_gzip_uncompress() to handle multiple concatenated
compressed strings. Serve compressed groups of router
descriptors. The compression logic here could be more
memory-efficient.
- Distinguish v1 authorities (all currently trusted directories)
from v2 authorities (all trusted directories).
- Change DirServers config line to note which dirs are v1 authorities.
- Add configuration option "V1AuthoritativeDirectory 1" which
moria1, moria2, and tor26 should set.
- Remove option when getting directory cache to see whether they
support running-routers; they all do now. Replace it with one
to see whether caches support v2 stuff.
o New features:
- Dirservers now do their own external reachability testing of each
Tor server, and only list them as running if they've been found to
be reachable. We also send back warnings to the server's logs if
it uploads a descriptor that we already believe is unreachable.
- Implement exit enclaves: if we know an IP address for the
destination, and there's a running Tor server at that address
which allows exit to the destination, then extend the circuit to
that exit first. This provides end-to-end encryption and end-to-end
authentication. Also, if the user wants a .exit address or enclave,
use 4 hops rather than 3, and cannibalize a general circ for it
if you can.
- Permit transitioning from ORPort=0 to ORPort!=0, and back, from the
controller. Also, rotate dns and cpu workers if the controller
changes options that will affect them; and initialize the dns
worker cache tree whether or not we start out as a server.
- Only upload a new server descriptor when options change, 18
hours have passed, uptime is reset, or bandwidth changes a lot.
- Check [X-]Forwarded-For headers in HTTP requests when generating
log messages. This lets people run dirservers (and caches) behind
Apache but still know which IP addresses are causing warnings.
o Config option changes:
- Replace (Fascist)Firewall* config options with a new
ReachableAddresses option that understands address policies.
For example, "ReachableAddresses *:80,*:443"
- Get rid of IgnoreVersion undocumented config option, and make us
only warn, never exit, when we're running an obsolete version.
- Make MonthlyAccountingStart config option truly obsolete now.
o Fixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Reject ports 465 and 587 in the default exit policy, since
people have started using them for spam too.
- It turns out we couldn't bootstrap a network since we added
reachability detection in 0.1.0.1-rc. Good thing the Tor network
has never gone down. Add an AssumeReachable config option to let
servers and dirservers bootstrap. When we're trying to build a
high-uptime or high-bandwidth circuit but there aren't enough
suitable servers, try being less picky rather than simply failing.
- Our logic to decide if the OR we connected to was the right guy
was brittle and maybe open to a mitm for unverified routers.
- We weren't cannibalizing circuits correctly for
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_ESTABLISH_REND and
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_S_ESTABLISH_INTRO, so we were being forced to
build those from scratch. This should make hidden services faster.
- Predict required circuits better, with an eye toward making hidden
services faster on the service end.
- Retry streams if the exit node sends back a 'misc' failure. This
should result in fewer random failures. Also, after failing
from resolve failed or misc, reset the num failures, so we give
it a fair shake next time we try.
- Clean up the rendezvous warn log msgs, and downgrade some to info.
- Reduce severity on logs about dns worker spawning and culling.
- When we're shutting down and we do something like try to post a
server descriptor or rendezvous descriptor, don't complain that
we seem to be unreachable. Of course we are, we're shutting down.
- Add TTLs to RESOLVED, CONNECTED, and END_REASON_EXITPOLICY cells.
We don't use them yet, but maybe one day our DNS resolver will be
able to discover them.
- Make ContactInfo mandatory for authoritative directory servers.
- Require server descriptors to list IPv4 addresses -- hostnames
are no longer allowed. This also fixes some potential security
problems with people providing hostnames as their address and then
preferentially resolving them to partition users.
- Change log line for unreachability to explicitly suggest /etc/hosts
as the culprit. Also make it clearer what IP address and ports we're
testing for reachability.
- Put quotes around user-supplied strings when logging so users are
more likely to realize if they add bad characters (like quotes)
to the torrc.
- Let auth dir servers start without specifying an Address config
option.
- Make unit tests (and other invocations that aren't the real Tor)
run without launching listeners, creating subdirectories, and so on.

- Fix a bug in handling the controller's "post descriptor"
function.
- Fix several bugs in handling the controller's "extend circuit"
function.
- Fix a bug in handling the controller's "stream status" event.
- Fix an assert failure if we have a controller listening for
circuit events and we go offline.
- Re-allow hidden service descriptors to publish 0 intro points.
- Fix a crash when generating your hidden service descriptor if
you don't have enough intro points already.
o New features on 0.1.1.2-alpha:
- New controller function "getinfo accounting", to ask how
many bytes we've used in this time period.
- Experimental support for helper nodes: a lot of the risk from
a small static adversary comes because users pick new random
nodes every time they rebuild a circuit. Now users will try to
stick to the same small set of entry nodes if they can. Not
enabled by default yet.
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.12:
- If you're an auth dir server, always publish your dirport,

- Fix an fd leak in start_daemon().
- On Windows, you can't always reopen a port right after you've

- Fix a possible double-free in tor_gzip_uncompress().
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x, usability:
- When tor_socketpair() fails in Windows, give a reasonable
Windows-style errno back.
- Let people type "tor --install" as well as "tor -install" when
they

- NT service patch from Matt Edman to improve error messages.
- When the controller asks for a config option with an abbreviated

pthreads libraries.
o Bugfixes on 0.1.1.x:
- Fix a seg fault with autodetecting which controller version is
being used.
o Features:
- New hidden service descriptor format: put a version in it, and
let people specify introduction/rendezvous points that aren't
in "the directory" (which is subjective anyway).
- Allow the DEBUG controller event to work again. Mark certain log
entries as "don't tell this to controllers", so we avoid cycles.

Changes in version 0.1.0.11 - 2005-06-30
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.x:
- Fix major security bug: servers were disregarding their
exit policies if clients behaved unexpectedly.
- Make OS X init script check for missing argument, so we don't
confuse users who invoke it incorrectly.
- Fix a seg fault in "tor --hash-password foo".
- The MAPADDRESS control command was broken.

Changes in version 0.1.1.1-alpha - 2005-06-29
o Bugfixes:
- Make OS X init script check for missing argument, so we don't
confuse users who invoke it incorrectly.
- Fix a seg fault in "tor --hash-password foo".
- Fix a possible way to DoS dirservers.
- When we complain that your exit policy implicitly allows local or
private address spaces, name them explicitly so operators can
fix it.
- Make the log message less scary when all the dirservers are
temporarily unreachable.
- We were printing the number of idle dns workers incorrectly when
culling them.
o Features:
- Revised controller protocol (version 1) that uses ascii rather
than binary. Add supporting libraries in python and java so you
can use the controller from your applications without caring how
our protocol works.
- Spiffy new support for crypto hardware accelerators. Can somebody
test this?

Changes in version 0.1.0.9-rc - 2005-06-09
o Bugfixes:
- Reset buf->highwater every time buf_shrink() is called, not just on
a successful shrink. This was causing significant memory bloat.
- Fix buffer overflow when checking hashed passwords.
- Security fix: if seeding the RNG on Win32 fails, quit.
- Allow seeding the RNG on Win32 even when you're not running as
Administrator.
- Disable threading on Solaris too. Something is wonky with it,
cpuworkers, and reentrant libs.
integrate the 0.1.0.9-rc changelog into the 0.1.0.10 changelog svn:r4421
2005-06-13 03:29:35 +02:00
- Reenable the part of the code that tries to flush as soon as an
OR outbuf has a full TLS record available. Perhaps this will make
OR outbufs not grow as huge except in rare cases, thus saving lots
of CPU time plus memory.
- Reject malformed .onion addresses rather then passing them on as
normal web requests.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Adapt patch from Adam Langley: fix possible memory leak in
tor_lookup_hostname().
- Initialize libevent later in the startup process, so the logs are
already established by the time we start logging libevent warns.
- Use correct errno on win32 if libevent fails.
- Check and warn about known-bad/slow libevent versions.
- Pay more attention to the ClientOnly config option.
- Have torctl.in/tor.sh.in check for location of su binary (needed
on FreeBSD)
- Correct/add man page entries for LongLivedPorts, ExitPolicy,
KeepalivePeriod, ClientOnly, NoPublish, HttpProxy, HttpsProxy,
HttpProxyAuthenticator
- Stop warning about sigpipes in the logs. We're going to

2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Resolve OS X installer bugs: stop claiming to be 0.0.9.2 in
certain
installer screens; and don't put stuff into StartupItems unless
the user asks you to.
- Require servers that use the default dirservers to have public IP
addresses. We have too many servers that are configured with private
IPs and their admins never notice the log entries complaining that
their descriptors are being rejected.
- Add OSX uninstall instructions. An actual uninstall script will
come later.

2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
Changes in version 0.1.0.8-rc - 2005-05-23
o Bugfixes:
- It turns out that kqueue on OS X 10.3.9 was causing kernel
panics. Disable kqueue on all OS X Tors.
- Fix RPM: remove duplicate line accidentally added to the rpm
spec file.
- Disable threads on openbsd too, since its gethostaddr is not
reentrant either.
- Tolerate libevent 0.8 since it still works, even though it's
ancient.
- Enable building on Red Hat 9.0 again.
- Allow the middle hop of the testing circuit to be running any
version, now that most of them have the bugfix to let them connect
to unknown servers. This will allow reachability testing to work
even when 0.0.9.7-0.0.9.9 become obsolete.
- Handle relay cells with rh.length too large. This prevents
a potential attack that could read arbitrary memory (maybe even
keys) from the exit server's process.
- We screwed up the dirport reachability testing when we don't yet
have a cached version of the directory. Hopefully now fixed.
- Clean up router_load_single_router() (used by the controller),
so it doesn't seg fault on error.
- Fix a minor memory leak when somebody establishes an introduction
point at your Tor server.
- If a socks connection ends because read fails, don't warn that
you're not sending a socks reply back.
o Features:
- Add HttpProxyAuthenticator config option too, that works like
the HttpsProxyAuthenticator config option.
forward-port the 0.1.0.9 changelog svn:r4365
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
- Encode hashed controller passwords in hex instead of base64,
to make it easier to write controllers.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
Changes in version 0.1.0.7-rc - 2005-05-17
o Bugfixes:
- Fix a bug in the OS X package installer that prevented it from
installing on Tiger.
- Fix a script bug in the OS X package installer that made it
complain during installation.
- Find libevent even if it's hiding in /usr/local/ and your
CFLAGS and LDFLAGS don't tell you to look there.
- Be able to link with libevent as a shared library (the default
after 1.0d), even if it's hiding in /usr/local/lib and even
if you haven't added /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf,
assuming you're running gcc. Otherwise fail and give a useful
error message.
- Fix a bug in the RPM packager: set home directory for _tor to
something more reasonable when first installing.
- Free a minor amount of memory that is still reachable on exit.
Changes in version 0.1.0.6-rc - 2005-05-14
o Bugfixes:
- Implement --disable-threads configure option. Disable threads on
netbsd by default, because it appears to have no reentrant resolver
functions.
- Apple's OS X 10.4.0 ships with a broken kqueue. The new libevent
release (1.1) detects and disables kqueue if it's broken.
- Append default exit policy before checking for implicit internal
addresses. Now we don't log a bunch of complaints on startup
when using the default exit policy.
forward-port the 0.1.0.9 changelog svn:r4365
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
- Some people were putting "Address " in their torrc, and they had
a buggy resolver that resolved " " to 0.0.0.0. Oops.
- If DataDir is ~/.tor, and that expands to /.tor, then default to
LOCALSTATEDIR/tor instead.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Fix fragmented-message bug in TorControl.py.
- Resolve a minor bug which would prevent unreachable dirports
from getting suppressed in the published descriptor.
- When the controller gave us a new descriptor, we weren't resolving
it immediately, so Tor would think its address was 0.0.0.0 until
we fetched a new directory.
- Fix an uppercase/lowercase case error in suppressing a bogus
libevent warning on some Linuxes.
o Features:
- Begin scrubbing sensitive strings from logs by default. Turn off
the config option SafeLogging if you need to do debugging.
- Switch to a new buffer management algorithm, which tries to avoid
reallocing and copying quite as much. In first tests it looks like
it uses *more* memory on average, but less cpu.
- First cut at support for "create-fast" cells. Clients can use
these when extending to their first hop, since the TLS already
provides forward secrecy and authentication. Not enabled on
clients yet.
- When dirservers refuse a router descriptor, we now log its
contactinfo, platform, and the poster's IP address.
- Call tor_free_all instead of connections_free_all after forking, to
save memory on systems that need to fork.
- Whine at you if you're a server and you don't set your contactinfo.
forward-port the 0.1.0.9 changelog svn:r4365
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
- Implement --verify-config command-line option to check if your torrc
is valid without actually launching Tor.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Rewrite address "serifos.exit" to "localhost.serifos.exit"
rather than just rejecting it.

0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
Changes in version 0.1.0.5-rc - 2005-04-27
o Bugfixes:
- Stop trying to print a null pointer if an OR conn fails because
we didn't like its cert.
o Features:
- Switch our internal buffers implementation to use a ring buffer,
to hopefully improve performance for fast servers a lot.
- Add HttpsProxyAuthenticator support (basic auth only), based
on patch from Adam Langley.
- Bump the default BandwidthRate from 1 MB to 2 MB, to accommodate
the fast servers that have been joining lately.
- Give hidden service accesses extra time on the first attempt,
since 60 seconds is often only barely enough. This might improve
robustness more.
- Improve performance for dirservers: stop re-parsing the whole
directory every time you regenerate it.
- Add more debugging info to help us find the weird dns freebsd
pthreads bug; cleaner debug messages to help track future issues.
Changes in version 0.0.9.9 - 2005-04-23
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
- If unofficial Tor clients connect and send weird TLS certs, our
Tor server triggers an assert. This release contains a minimal
backport from the broader fix that we put into 0.1.0.4-rc.
Changes in version 0.1.0.4-rc - 2005-04-23
o Bugfixes:
- If unofficial Tor clients connect and send weird TLS certs, our
Tor server triggers an assert. Stop asserting, and start handling
TLS errors better in other situations too.
- When the controller asks us to tell it about all the debug-level
logs, it turns out we were generating debug-level logs while
telling it about them, which turns into a bad loop. Now keep
track of whether you're sending a debug log to the controller,
and don't log when you are.
- Fix the "postdescriptor" feature of the controller interface: on
non-complete success, only say "done" once.
o Features:
- Clients are now willing to load balance over up to 2mB, not 1mB,
of advertised bandwidth capacity.
- Add a NoPublish config option, so you can be a server (e.g. for
testing running Tor servers in other Tor networks) without
publishing your descriptor to the primary dirservers.
Changes in version 0.1.0.3-rc - 2005-04-08
o Improvements on 0.1.0.2-rc:
- Client now retries when streams end early for 'hibernating' or
'resource limit' reasons, rather than failing them.
- More automated handling for dirserver operators:
- Automatically approve nodes running 0.1.0.2-rc or later,
now that the the reachability detection stuff is working.
- Now we allow two unverified servers with the same nickname
but different keys. But if a nickname is verified, only that
nickname+key are allowed.
- If you're an authdirserver connecting to an address:port,
and it's not the OR you were expecting, forget about that
descriptor. If he *was* the one you were expecting, then forget
about all other descriptors for that address:port.
- Allow servers to publish descriptors from 12 hours in the future.
Corollary: only whine about clock skew from the dirserver if
he's a trusted dirserver (since now even verified servers could
have quite wrong clocks).
- Adjust maximum skew and age for rendezvous descriptors: let skew
be 48 hours rather than 90 minutes.
- Efficiency improvements:
- Keep a big splay tree of (circid,orconn)->circuit mappings to make
it much faster to look up a circuit for each relay cell.
- Remove most calls to assert_all_pending_dns_resolves_ok(),
since they're eating our cpu on exit nodes.
- Stop wasting time doing a case insensitive comparison for every
dns name every time we do any lookup. Canonicalize the names to
lowercase and be done with it.
- Start sending 'truncated' cells back rather than destroy cells,
if the circuit closes in front of you. This means we won't have
to abandon partially built circuits.
- Only warn once per nickname from add_nickname_list_to_smartlist
add a changelog for 0.1.0.3-rc svn:r4063
2005-04-08 08:16:38 +02:00
per failure, so an entrynode or exitnode choice that's down won't
yell so much.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Put a note in the torrc about abuse potential with the default
exit policy.
- Revise control spec and implementation to allow all log messages to
be sent to controller with their severities intact (suggested by
Matt Edman). Update TorControl to handle new log event types.
- Provide better explanation messages when controller's POSTDESCRIPTOR
fails.
- Stop putting nodename in the Platform string in server descriptors.
It doesn't actually help, and it is confusing/upsetting some people.
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.2-rc:
- We were printing the host mask wrong in exit policies in server
descriptors. This isn't a critical bug though, since we were still
obeying the exit policy internally.
- Fix Tor when compiled with libevent but without pthreads: move
connection_unregister() from _connection_free() to
connection_free().
- Fix an assert trigger (already fixed in 0.0.9.x): when we have
the rare mysterious case of accepting a conn on 0.0.0.0:0, then
when we look through the connection array, we'll find any of the
cpu/dnsworkers. This is no good.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.8:
- Fix possible bug on threading platforms (e.g. win32) which was
leaking a file descriptor whenever a cpuworker or dnsworker died.
- When using preferred entry or exit nodes, ignore whether the
circuit wants uptime or capacity. They asked for the nodes, they
get the nodes.
- chdir() to your datadirectory at the *end* of the daemonize process,
not the beginning. This was a problem because the first time you
run tor, if your datadir isn't there, and you have runasdaemon set
to 1, it will try to chdir to it before it tries to create it. Oops.
- Handle changed router status correctly when dirserver reloads
fingerprint file. We used to be dropping all unverified descriptors
right then. The bug was hidden because we would immediately
fetch a directory from another dirserver, which would include the
descriptors we just dropped.
add a changelog for 0.1.0.3-rc svn:r4063
2005-04-08 08:16:38 +02:00
- When we're connecting to an OR and he's got a different nickname/key
than we were expecting, only complain loudly if we're an OP or a
dirserver. Complaining loudly to the OR admins just confuses them.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Tie MAX_DIR_SIZE to MAX_BUF_SIZE, so now directory sizes won't get
artificially capped at 500kB.

2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9.8 - 2005-04-07
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
- We have a bug that I haven't found yet. Sometimes, very rarely,
cpuworkers get stuck in the 'busy' state, even though the cpuworker
thinks of itself as idle. This meant that no new circuits ever got
established. Here's a workaround to kill any cpuworker that's been
busy for more than 100 seconds.
Changes in version 0.1.0.2-rc - 2005-04-01
o Bugfixes on 0.1.0.1-rc:
- Fixes on reachability detection:
- Don't check for reachability while hibernating.
- If ORPort is reachable but DirPort isn't, still publish the
descriptor, but zero out DirPort until it's found reachable.
- When building testing circs for ORPort testing, use only
high-bandwidth nodes, so fewer circuits fail.
- Complain about unreachable ORPort separately from unreachable
DirPort, so the user knows what's going on.
- Make sure we only conclude ORPort reachability if we didn't
initiate the conn. Otherwise we could falsely conclude that
we're reachable just because we connected to the guy earlier
and he used that same pipe to extend to us.
- Authdirservers shouldn't do ORPort reachability detection,
since they're in clique mode, so it will be rare to find a
server not already connected to them.
- When building testing circuits, always pick middle hops running
Tor 0.0.9.7, so we avoid the "can't extend to unknown routers"
bug. (This is a kludge; it will go away when 0.0.9.x becomes
obsolete.)
- When we decide we're reachable, actually publish our descriptor
right then.
- Fix bug in redirectstream in the controller.
- Fix the state descriptor strings so logs don't claim edge streams
are in a different state than they actually are.
- Use recent libevent features when possible (this only really affects
win32 and osx right now, because the new libevent with these
features hasn't been released yet). Add code to suppress spurious
libevent log msgs.
- Prevent possible segfault in connection_close_unattached_ap().
- Fix newlines on torrc in win32.
- Improve error msgs when tor-resolve fails.
o Improvements on 0.0.9.x:
add a changelog for 0.1.0.2-rc svn:r3971
2005-04-01 18:29:52 +02:00
- New experimental script tor/contrib/ExerciseServer.py (needs more
work) that uses the controller interface to build circuits and
fetch pages over them. This will help us bootstrap servers that
have lots of capacity but haven't noticed it yet.
- New experimental script tor/contrib/PathDemo.py (needs more work)
that uses the controller interface to let you choose whole paths
via addresses like
"<hostname>.<path,separated by dots>.<length of path>.path"
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- When we've connected to an OR and handshaked but didn't like
the result, we were closing the conn without sending destroy
cells back for pending circuits. Now send those destroys.

0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9.7 - 2005-04-01
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
- Fix another race crash bug (thanks to Glenn Fink for reporting).
- Compare identity to identity, not to nickname, when extending to
a router not already in the directory. This was preventing us from
extending to unknown routers. Oops.
- Make sure to create OS X Tor user in <500 range, so we aren't
creating actual system users.
- Note where connection-that-hasn't-sent-end was marked, and fix
a few really loud instances of this harmless bug (it's fixed more
in 0.1.0.x).
Changes in version 0.1.0.1-rc - 2005-03-28
o New features:
- Add reachability testing. Your Tor server will automatically try
to see if its ORPort and DirPort are reachable from the outside,
and it won't upload its descriptor until it decides they are.
- Handle unavailable hidden services better. Handle slow or busy
hidden services better.
- Add support for CONNECTing through https proxies, with "HttpsProxy"
config option.
- New exit policy: accept most low-numbered ports, rather than
rejecting most low-numbered ports.
- More Tor controller support (still experimental). See
http://tor.eff.org/doc/control-spec.txt for all the new features,
including signals to emulate unix signals from any platform;
redirectstream; extendcircuit; mapaddress; getinfo; postdescriptor;
closestream; closecircuit; etc.
- Make nt services work and start on startup on win32 (based on
patch by Matt Edman).
- Add a new AddressMap config directive to rewrite incoming socks
addresses. This lets you, for example, declare an implicit
required exit node for certain sites.
- Add a new TrackHostExits config directive to trigger addressmaps
for certain incoming socks addresses -- for sites that break when
your exit keeps changing (based on patch by Mike Perry).
- Redo the client-side dns cache so it's just an addressmap too.
- Notice when our IP changes, and reset stats/uptime/reachability.
forward-port the 0.1.0.9 changelog svn:r4365
2005-06-09 06:06:52 +02:00
- When an application is using socks5, give him the whole variety of
potential socks5 responses (connect refused, host unreachable, etc),
rather than just "success" or "failure".
- A more sane version numbering system. See
http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/version-spec.txt for details.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- New contributed script "exitlist": a simple python script to
parse directories and find Tor nodes that exit to listed
addresses/ports.
- New contributed script "privoxy-tor-toggle" to toggle whether
Privoxy uses Tor. Seems to be configured for Debian by default.
- Report HTTP reasons to client when getting a response from directory
servers -- so you can actually know what went wrong.
- New config option MaxAdvertisedBandwidth which lets you advertise
a low bandwidthrate (to not attract as many circuits) while still
allowing a higher bandwidthrate in reality.
o Robustness/stability fixes:
- Make Tor use Niels Provos's libevent instead of its current
go nuts rewriting (changelog) history
2012-01-23 09:47:48 +01:00
poll-but-sometimes-select mess. This will let us use faster async
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
cores (like epoll, kpoll, and /dev/poll), and hopefully work better
on Windows too.
- pthread support now too. This was forced because when we forked,
we ended up wasting a lot of duplicate ram over time. Also switch
to foo_r versions of some library calls to allow reentry and
threadsafeness.
- Better handling for heterogeneous / unreliable nodes:
- Annotate circuits w/ whether they aim to contain high uptime nodes
and/or high capacity nodes. When building circuits, choose
appropriate nodes.
- This means that every single node in an intro rend circuit,
not just the last one, will have a minimum uptime.
- New config option LongLivedPorts to indicate application streams
that will want high uptime circuits.
- Servers reset uptime when a dir fetch entirely fails. This
hopefully reflects stability of the server's network connectivity.
- If somebody starts his tor server in Jan 2004 and then fixes his
clock, don't make his published uptime be a year.
- Reset published uptime when you wake up from hibernation.
- Introduce a notion of 'internal' circs, which are chosen without
regard to the exit policy of the last hop. Intro and rendezvous
circs must be internal circs, to avoid leaking information. Resolve
and connect streams can use internal circs if they want.
- New circuit pooling algorithm: make sure to have enough circs around
to satisfy any predicted ports, and also make sure to have 2 internal
circs around if we've required internal circs lately (and with high
uptime if we've seen that lately too).
- Split NewCircuitPeriod option into NewCircuitPeriod (30 secs),
which describes how often we retry making new circuits if current
ones are dirty, and MaxCircuitDirtiness (10 mins), which describes
how long we're willing to make use of an already-dirty circuit.
- Cannibalize GENERAL circs to be C_REND, C_INTRO, S_INTRO, and S_REND
circ as necessary, if there are any completed ones lying around
when we try to launch one.
- Make hidden services try to establish a rendezvous for 30 seconds,
rather than for n (where n=3) attempts to build a circuit.
- Change SHUTDOWN_WAIT_LENGTH from a fixed 30 secs to a config option
"ShutdownWaitLength".
- Try to be more zealous about calling connection_edge_end when
things go bad with edge conns in connection.c.
- Revise tor-spec to add more/better stream end reasons.
- Revise all calls to connection_edge_end to avoid sending "misc",
and to take errno into account where possible.
o Bug fixes:
- Fix a race condition that can trigger an assert, when we have a
pending create cell and an OR connection fails right then.
- Fix several double-mark-for-close bugs, e.g. where we were finding
a conn for a cell even if that conn is already marked for close.
- Make sequence of log messages when starting on win32 with no config
file more reasonable.
- When choosing an exit node for a new non-internal circ, don't take
into account whether it'll be useful for any pending x.onion
addresses -- it won't.
- Turn addr_policy_compare from a tristate to a quadstate; this should
help address our "Ah, you allow 1.2.3.4:80. You are a good choice
for google.com" problem.
- Make "platform" string in descriptor more accurate for Win32 servers,
so it's not just "unknown platform".
- Fix an edge case in parsing config options (thanks weasel).
If they say "--" on the commandline, it's not an option.
- Reject odd-looking addresses at the client (e.g. addresses that
contain a colon), rather than having the server drop them because
they're malformed.
- tor-resolve requests were ignoring .exit if there was a working circuit
they could use instead.
- REUSEADDR on normal platforms means you can rebind to the port
right after somebody else has let it go. But REUSEADDR on win32
means to let you bind to the port _even when somebody else
already has it bound_! So, don't do that on Win32.
first cut of a 0.1.0.1-rc1 changelog svn:r3881
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
- Change version parsing logic: a version is "obsolete" if it is not
recommended and (1) there is a newer recommended version in the
same series, or (2) there are no recommended versions in the same
series, but there are some recommended versions in a newer series.
A version is "new" if it is newer than any recommended version in
the same series.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Stop most cases of hanging up on a socks connection without sending
the socks reject.
o Helpful fixes:
- Require BandwidthRate to be at least 20kB/s for servers.
- When a dirserver causes you to give a warn, mention which dirserver
it was.
- New config option DirAllowPrivateAddresses for authdirservers.
Now by default they refuse router descriptors that have non-IP or
private-IP addresses.
first cut of a 0.1.0.1-rc1 changelog svn:r3881
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
- Stop publishing socksport in the directory, since it's not
actually meant to be public. For compatibility, publish a 0 there
for now.
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- Change DirFetchPeriod/StatusFetchPeriod to have a special "Be
smart" value, that is low for servers and high for clients.
- If our clock jumps forward by 100 seconds or more, assume something
has gone wrong with our network and abandon all not-yet-used circs.
- Warn when exit policy implicitly allows local addresses.
- If we get an incredibly skewed timestamp from a dirserver mirror
that isn't a verified OR, don't warn -- it's probably him that's
wrong.

cookies to disk and doesn't log each web request to disk. (Thanks
to Brett Carrington for pointing this out.)
0.1.0 in all its detailed glory svn:r9412
2007-01-26 03:08:53 +01:00
- When a client asks us for a dir mirror and we don't have one,
launch an attempt to get a fresh one.
- If we're hibernating and we get a SIGINT, exit immediately.
- Add --with-dmalloc ./configure option, to track memory leaks.
- And try to free all memory on closing, so we can detect what
we're leaking.
- Cache local dns resolves correctly even when they're .exit
addresses.
- Give a better warning when some other server advertises an
ORPort that is actually an apache running ssl.
first cut of a 0.1.0.1-rc1 changelog svn:r3881
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
- Add "opt hibernating 1" to server descriptor to make it clearer
whether the server is hibernating.
Changes in version 0.0.9.6 - 2005-03-24
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x (crashes and asserts):
Fix spelling mistakes corresponding to ticket #23650
2018-01-24 09:55:15 +01:00
- Add new end stream reasons to maintenance branch. Fix bug where
go nuts rewriting (changelog) history
2012-01-23 09:47:48 +01:00
reason (8) could trigger an assert. Prevent bug from recurring.
first cut of a 0.1.0.1-rc1 changelog svn:r3881
2005-03-26 01:46:02 +01:00
- Apparently win32 stat wants paths to not end with a slash.
- Fix assert triggers in assert_cpath_layer_ok(), where we were
blowing away the circuit that conn->cpath_layer points to, then
checking to see if the circ is well-formed. Backport check to make
sure we dont use the cpath on a closed connection.
- Prevent circuit_resume_edge_reading_helper() from trying to package
inbufs for marked-for-close streams.
- Don't crash on hup if your options->address has become unresolvable.
- Some systems (like OS X) sometimes accept() a connection and tell
you the remote host is 0.0.0.0:0. If this happens, due to some
other mis-features, we get confused; so refuse the conn for now.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x (other):
- Fix harmless but scary "Unrecognized content encoding" warn message.
- Add new stream error reason: TORPROTOCOL reason means "you are not
speaking a version of Tor I understand; say bye-bye to your stream."
- Be willing to cache directories from up to ROUTER_MAX_AGE seconds
into the future, now that we are more tolerant of skew. This
resolves a bug where a Tor server would refuse to cache a directory
because all the directories it gets are too far in the future;
yet the Tor server never logs any complaints about clock skew.
- Mac packaging magic: make man pages useable, and do not overwrite
existing torrc files.
- Make OS X log happily to /var/log/tor/tor.log

2005-02-24 23:38:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9.5 - 2005-02-22
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9.x:
- Fix an assert race at exit nodes when resolve requests fail.
- Stop picking unverified dir mirrors--it only leads to misery.
- Patch from Matt Edman to make NT services work better. Service
support is still not compiled into the executable by default.
- Patch from Dmitri Bely so the Tor service runs better under
the win32 SYSTEM account.
- Make tor-resolve actually work (?) on Win32.
- Fix a sign bug when getrlimit claims to have 4+ billion
file descriptors available.
- Stop refusing to start when bandwidthburst == bandwidthrate.
- When create cells have been on the onion queue more than five
seconds, just send back a destroy and take them off the list.

freak out.
- Don't crash as badly if we have spawned the max allowed number
of dnsworkers, or we're out of file descriptors.
- Block more file-sharing ports in the default exit policy.
forward-port the changelog patch svn:r3550
2005-02-04 03:23:16 +01:00
- MaxConn is now automatically set to the hard limit of max
file descriptors we're allowed (ulimit -n), minus a few for
logs, etc.
- Give a clearer message when servers need to raise their
ulimit -n when they start running out of file descriptors.
forward-port the changelog svn:r3541
2005-02-04 00:55:49 +01:00
- SGI Compatibility patches from Jan Schaumann.
- Tolerate a corrupt cached directory better.
- When a dirserver hasn't approved your server, list which one.
- Go into soft hibernation after 95% of the bandwidth is used,
not 99%. This is especially important for daily hibernators who
have a small accounting max. Hopefully it will result in fewer
cut connections when the hard hibernation starts.
- Load-balance better when using servers that claim more than
800kB/s of capacity.
- Make NT services work (experimental, only used if compiled in).
forward-port the 0.0.9.3 changelog svn:r3414
2005-01-22 08:21:15 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9.3 - 2005-01-21
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9:
- Backport the cpu use fixes from main branch, so busy servers won't
need as much processor time.
- Work better when we go offline and then come back, or when we
run Tor at boot before the network is up. We do this by
optimistically trying to fetch a new directory whenever an
application request comes in and we think we're offline -- the
human is hopefully a good measure of when the network is back.
- Backport some minimal hidserv bugfixes: keep rend circuits open as
long as you keep using them; actually publish hidserv descriptors
shortly after they change, rather than waiting 20-40 minutes.
- Enable Mac startup script by default.
- Fix duplicate dns_cancel_pending_resolve reported by Giorgos Pallas.
- When you update AllowUnverifiedNodes or FirewallPorts via the
controller's setconf feature, we were always appending, never
resetting.
- When you update HiddenServiceDir via setconf, it was screwing up
the order of reading the lines, making it fail.
- Do not rewrite a cached directory back to the cache; otherwise we
will think it is recent and not fetch a newer one on startup.
- Workaround for webservers that lie about Content-Encoding: Tor
now tries to autodetect compressed directories and compression
itself. This lets us Proxypass dir fetches through apache.
forward-port the 0.0.9.2 changelog svn:r3287
2005-01-04 10:09:00 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9.2 - 2005-01-04
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (crashes and asserts):
- Fix an assert on startup when the disk is full and you're logging
to a file.
- If you do socks4 with an IP of 0.0.0.x but *don't* provide a socks4a
style address, then we'd crash.
- Fix an assert trigger when the running-routers string we get from
a dirserver is broken.
- Make worker threads start and run on win32. Now win32 servers
may work better.
- Bandaid (not actually fix, but now it doesn't crash) an assert
where the dns worker dies mysteriously and the main Tor process
doesn't remember anything about the address it was resolving.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (Win32):
- Workaround for brain-damaged __FILE__ handling on MSVC: keep Nick's
name out of the warning/assert messages.
- Fix a superficial "unhandled error on read" bug on win32.
- The win32 installer no longer requires a click-through for our
license, since our Free Software license grants rights but does not
take any away.
- Win32: When connecting to a dirserver fails, try another one
immediately. (This was already working for non-win32 Tors.)
- Stop trying to parse $HOME on win32 when hunting for default
DataDirectory.
- Make tor-resolve.c work on win32 by calling network_init().
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9 (other):
- Make 0.0.9.x build on Solaris again.
- Due to a fencepost error, we were blowing away the \n when reporting
confvalue items in the controller. So asking for multiple config
values at once couldn't work.
- When listing circuits that are pending on an opening OR connection,
if we're an OR we were listing circuits that *end* at us as
being pending on every listener, dns/cpu worker, etc. Stop that.
- Dirservers were failing to create 'running-routers' or 'directory'
strings if we had more than some threshold of routers. Fix them so
they can handle any number of routers.
- Fix a superficial "Duplicate mark for close" bug.
- Stop checking for clock skew for OR connections, even for servers.
- Fix a fencepost error that was chopping off the last letter of any
nickname that is the maximum allowed nickname length.
- Update URLs in log messages so they point to the new website.
- Fix a potential problem in mangling server private keys while
writing to disk (not triggered yet, as far as we know).
- Include the licenses for other free software we include in Tor,
now that we're shipping binary distributions more regularly.

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
o Cleanups:
- Clean up manpage and torrc.sample file.
- Clean up severities and text of log warnings.
o Mistakes:
- Make servers trigger an assert when they enter hibernation.
Changes in version 0.0.9rc7 - 2004-12-08
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9rc:
- Fix a stack-trashing crash when an exit node begins hibernating.
- Avoid looking at unallocated memory while considering which
ports we need to build circuits to cover.
- Stop a sigpipe: when an 'end' cell races with eof from the app,
we shouldn't hold-open-until-flush if the eof arrived first.
- Fix a bug with init_cookie_authentication() in the controller.
- When recommending new-format log lines, if the upper bound is
LOG_ERR, leave it implicit.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Fix a whole slew of memory leaks.
bump to 0.0.9rc7 svn:r3121
2004-12-08 02:14:56 +01:00
- Fix isspace() and friends so they still make Solaris happy
but also so they don't trigger asserts on win32.
a preliminary changelog for rc7 svn:r3119
2004-12-08 00:42:32 +01:00

2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- win32: tolerate extra "readable" events better.

- win32: when being multithreaded, leave parent fdarray open.
- Make unit tests work on win32.

2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9rc6 - 2004-12-06
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre:
- Clean up some more integer underflow opportunities (not exploitable
we think).
- While hibernating, hup should not regrow our listeners.
- Send an end to the streams we close when we hibernate, rather
than just chopping them off.
- React to eof immediately on non-open edge connections.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
bump us to 0.0.9rc6 svn:r3089
2004-12-06 07:27:39 +01:00
- Calculate timeout for waiting for a connected cell from the time
we sent the begin cell, not from the time the stream started. If
it took a long time to establish the circuit, we would time out
right after sending the begin cell.
- Fix router_compare_addr_to_addr_policy: it was not treating a port
of * as always matching, so we were picking reject *:* nodes as
exit nodes too. Oops.
make a changelog for 0.0.9 svn:r3131
2004-12-11 19:07:52 +01:00
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
o Features:
bump us to 0.0.9rc6 svn:r3089
2004-12-06 07:27:39 +01:00
- New circuit building strategy: keep a list of ports that we've
used in the past 6 hours, and always try to have 2 circuits open
or on the way that will handle each such port. Seed us with port
80 so web users won't complain that Tor is "slow to start up".
- Make kill -USR1 dump more useful stats about circuits.
- When warning about retrying or giving up, print the address, so
the user knows which one it's talking about.
- If you haven't used a clean circuit in an hour, throw it away,
just to be on the safe side. (This means after 6 hours a totally
unused Tor client will have no circuits open.)
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9rc5 - 2004-12-01
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Disallow NDEBUG. We don't ever want anybody to turn off debug.
- Let resolve conns retry/expire also, rather than sticking around
forever.
- If we are using select, make sure we stay within FD_SETSIZE.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre:
- Fix integer underflow in tor_vsnprintf() that may be exploitable,
but doesn't seem to be currently; thanks to Ilja van Sprundel for
finding it.
- If anybody set DirFetchPostPeriod, give them StatusFetchPeriod
go nuts rewriting (changelog) history
2012-01-23 09:47:48 +01:00
instead. Impose minima and maxima for all *Period options; impose
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
even tighter maxima for fetching if we are a caching dirserver.
Clip rather than rejecting.
- Fetch cached running-routers from servers that serve it (that is,
authdirservers and servers running 0.0.9rc5-cvs or later.)
o Features:
- Accept *:706 (silc) in default exit policy.
- Implement new versioning format for post 0.1.
a changelog for rc5 svn:r3045
2004-11-30 11:33:23 +01:00
- Support "foo.nickname.exit" addresses, to let Alice request the

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00

- Make tor --version --version dump the cvs Id of every file.
Changes in version 0.0.9rc4 - 2004-11-28
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Make windows sockets actually non-blocking (oops), and handle
win32 socket errors better.
add a changelog for rc1 svn:r2950

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9rc1:
- Actually catch the -USR2 signal.
Changes in version 0.0.9rc3 - 2004-11-25
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Flush the log file descriptor after we print "Tor opening log file",
so we don't see those messages days later.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9rc1:
- Make tor-resolve work again.
- Avoid infinite loop in tor-resolve if tor hangs up on it.
- Fix an assert trigger for clients/servers handling resolves.
Changes in version 0.0.9rc2 - 2004-11-24
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9rc1:
- I broke socks5 support while fixing the eof bug.
- Allow unitless bandwidths and intervals; they default to bytes
and seconds.
- New servers don't start out hibernating; they are active until
they run out of bytes, so they have a better estimate of how
long it takes, and so their operators can know they're working.
Changes in version 0.0.9rc1 - 2004-11-23
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Finally fix a bug that's been plaguing us for a year:
With high load, circuit package window was reaching 0. Whenever
we got a circuit-level sendme, we were reading a lot on each
socket, but only writing out a bit. So we would eventually reach
eof. This would be noticed and acted on even when there were still
bytes sitting in the inbuf.
- When poll() is interrupted, we shouldn't believe the revents values.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre6:
- Fix hibernate bug that caused pre6 to be broken.
- Don't keep rephist info for routers that haven't had activity for
24 hours. (This matters now that clients have keys, since we track
them too.)
- Never call close_temp_logs while validating log options.
- Fix backslash-escaping on tor.sh.in and torctl.in.
o Features:
add a changelog for rc1 svn:r2950
2004-11-23 08:36:48 +01:00
- Implement weekly/monthly/daily accounting: now you specify your
hibernation properties by
AccountingMax N bytes|KB|MB|GB|TB
AccountingStart day|week|month [day] HH:MM
Defaults to "month 1 0:00".
- Let bandwidth and interval config options be specified as 5 bytes,
kb, kilobytes, etc; and as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks.
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- kill -USR2 now moves all logs to loglevel debug (kill -HUP to
get back to normal.)
- If your requested entry or exit node has advertised bandwidth 0,
pick it anyway.
- Be more greedy about filling up relay cells -- we try reading again
once we've processed the stuff we read, in case enough has arrived
to fill the last cell completely.
- Apply NT service patch from Osamu Fujino. Still needs more work.

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9pre6 - 2004-11-15
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Fix assert failure on malformed socks4a requests.
- Use identity comparison, not nickname comparison, to choose which
half of circuit-ID-space each side gets to use. This is needed
because sometimes we think of a router as a nickname, and sometimes
as a hex ID, and we can't predict what the other side will do.
- Catch and ignore SIGXFSZ signals when log files exceed 2GB; our
write() call will fail and we handle it there.
- Add a FAST_SMARTLIST define to optionally inline smartlist_get
and smartlist_len, which are two major profiling offenders.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre5:
- Fix a bug in read_all that was corrupting config files on windows.
- When we're raising the max number of open file descriptors to
'unlimited', don't log that we just raised it to '-1'.
- Include event code with events, as required by control-spec.txt.
- Don't give a fingerprint when clients do --list-fingerprint:
it's misleading, because it will never be the same again.
- Stop using strlcpy in tor_strndup, since it was slowing us
down a lot.
- Remove warn on startup about missing cached-directory file.
- Make kill -USR1 work again.
- Hibernate if we start tor during the "wait for wakeup-time" phase
of an accounting interval. Log our hibernation plans better.
- Authoritative dirservers now also cache their directory, so they
have it on start-up.
o Features:
- Fetch running-routers; cache running-routers; compress
running-routers; serve compressed running-routers.z
- Add NSI installer script contributed by J Doe.
a changelog for 0.0.9pre6 svn:r2900

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- Implement the control-spec's SAVECONF command, to write your
configuration to torrc.
- Get cookie authentication for the controller closer to working.
- Include control-spec.txt in the tarball.
- When set_conf changes our server descriptor, upload a new copy.
But don't upload it too often if there are frequent changes.
- Document authentication config in man page, and document signals
we catch.
- Clean up confusing parts of man page and torrc.sample.

2004-11-16 04:12:35 +01:00
- Make expand_filename handle ~ and ~username.
- Use autoconf to enable largefile support where necessary. Use

2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- Distinguish between TOR_TLS_CLOSE and TOR_TLS_ERROR, so we can
log more informatively.
- Give a slightly more useful output for "tor -h".
- Refuse application socks connections to port 0.
- Check clock skew for verified servers, but allow unverified
servers and clients to have any clock skew.
- Break DirFetchPostPeriod into:
- DirFetchPeriod for fetching full directory,
- StatusFetchPeriod for fetching running-routers,
- DirPostPeriod for posting server descriptor,
- RendPostPeriod for posting hidden service descriptors.
- Make sure the hidden service descriptors are at a random offset
from each other, to hinder linkability.
Changes in version 0.0.9pre5 - 2004-11-09
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre4:
- Fix a seg fault in unit tests (doesn't affect main program).
- Fix an assert bug where a hidden service provider would fail if
the first hop of his rendezvous circuit was down.
- Hidden service operators now correctly handle version 1 style
INTRODUCE1 cells (nobody generates them still, so not a critical
bug).
- If do_hup fails, actually notice.
- Handle more errnos from accept() without closing the listener.
Some OpenBSD machines were closing their listeners because
they ran out of file descriptors.
- Send resolve cells to exit routers that are running a new
enough version of the resolve code to work right.
- Better handling of winsock includes on non-MSV win32 compilers.
- Some people had wrapped their tor client/server in a script
that would restart it whenever it died. This did not play well
with our "shut down if your version is obsolete" code. Now people
don't fetch a new directory if their local cached version is
recent enough.
- Make our autogen.sh work on ksh as well as bash.

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
o Major Features:
- Hibernation: New config option "AccountingMaxKB" lets you
set how many KBytes per month you want to allow your server to
consume. Rather than spreading those bytes out evenly over the
month, we instead hibernate for some of the month and pop up
at a deterministic time, work until the bytes are consumed, then
hibernate again. Config option "MonthlyAccountingStart" lets you
specify which day of the month your billing cycle starts on.
draft of a 0.0.9pre5 changelog svn:r2739
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
- Control interface: a separate program can now talk to your
client/server over a socket, and get/set config options, receive
notifications of circuits and streams starting/finishing/dying,
bandwidth used, etc. The next step is to get some GUIs working.

draft of a 0.0.9pre5 changelog svn:r2739
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
- Ship a contrib/tor-control.py as an example script to interact
with the control port.
- "tor --hash-password zzyxz" will output a salted password for
use in authenticating to the control interface.
- New log format in config:
"Log minsev[-maxsev] stdout|stderr|syslog" or
update the 009pre5 changelog with what i actually announced svn:r2843

o Minor Features:
draft of a 0.0.9pre5 changelog svn:r2739
2004-11-09 09:13:03 +01:00
- DirPolicy config option, to let people reject incoming addresses
from their dirserver.
- "tor --list-fingerprint" will list your identity key fingerprint
and then exit.
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- Add "pass" target for RedirectExit, to make it easier to break
out of a sequence of RedirectExit rules.
- Clients now generate a TLS cert too, in preparation for having
them act more like real nodes.
- Ship src/win32/ in the tarball, so people can use it to build.
- Make old win32 fall back to CWD if SHGetSpecialFolderLocation
is broken.
- New "router-status" line in directory, to better bind each verified
nickname to its identity key.
- Deprecate unofficial config option abbreviations, and abbreviations
not on the command line.
- Add a pure-C tor-resolve implementation.
- Use getrlimit and friends to ensure we can reach MaxConn (currently
1024) file descriptors.
o Code security improvements, inspired by Ilja:
- Replace sprintf with snprintf. (I think they were all safe, but
hey.)
- Replace strcpy/strncpy with strlcpy in more places.
- Avoid strcat; use snprintf or strlcat instead.
- snprintf wrapper with consistent (though not C99) overflow behavior.
Changes in version 0.0.9pre4 - 2004-10-17
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre3:
- If the server doesn't specify an exit policy, use the real default
exit policy, not reject *:*.
- Ignore fascistfirewall when uploading/downloading hidden service
descriptors, since we go through Tor for those; and when using
an HttpProxy, since we assume it can reach them all.
- When looking for an authoritative dirserver, use only the ones
configured at boot. Don't bother looking in the directory.
- The rest of the fix for get_default_conf_file() on older win32.
- Make 'Routerfile' config option obsolete.
o Features:
commit a changelog for pre4 svn:r2556
2004-10-17 07:15:46 +02:00
- New 'MyFamily nick1,...' config option for a server to
specify other servers that shouldn't be used in the same circuit
with it. Only believed if nick1 also specifies us.
- New 'NodeFamily nick1,nick2,...' config option for a client to
specify nodes that it doesn't want to use in the same circuit.
- New 'Redirectexit pattern address:port' config option for a
server to redirect exit connections, e.g. to a local squid.
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9pre3 - 2004-10-13
o Bugfixes on 0.0.8.1:
- Better torrc example lines for dirbindaddress and orbindaddress.
- Improved bounds checking on parsed ints (e.g. config options and
the ones we find in directories.)
- Better handling of size_t vs int, so we're more robust on 64
bit platforms.
- Fix the rest of the bug where a newly started OR would appear
as unverified even after we've added his fingerprint and hupped
the dirserver.
- Fix a bug from 0.0.7: when read() failed on a stream, we would
close it without sending back an end. So 'connection refused'
would simply be ignored and the user would get no response.
o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre2:
- Serving the cached-on-disk directory to people is bad. We now
provide no directory until we've fetched a fresh one.
- Workaround for bug on windows where cached-directories get crlf
corruption.
- Make get_default_conf_file() work on older windows too.
- If we write a *:* exit policy line in the descriptor, don't write
any more exit policy lines.
o Features:
- Use only 0.0.9pre1 and later servers for resolve cells.
changelog for 0.0.9pre3 and 0.0.8.1 svn:r2496
2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
- Make the dirservers file obsolete.
- Include a dir-signing-key token in directories to tell the
parsing entity which key is being used to sign.
more useful changelog for pre3 svn:r2513
2004-10-14 12:27:26 +02:00
- Remove the built-in bulky default dirservers string.
- New config option "Dirserver %s:%d [fingerprint]", which can be
repeated as many times as needed. If no dirservers specified,
default to moria1,moria2,tor26.
0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
- Make moria2 advertise a dirport of 80, so people behind firewalls
will be able to get a directory.
- Http proxy support
- Dirservers translate requests for http://%s:%d/x to /x
- You can specify "HttpProxy %s[:%d]" and all dir fetches will
be routed through this host.
- Clients ask for /tor/x rather than /x for new enough dirservers.
This way we can one day coexist peacefully with apache.
- Clients specify a "Host: %s%d" http header, to be compatible
with more proxies, and so running squid on an exit node can work.

2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
Changes in version 0.0.8.1 - 2004-10-13
o Bugfixes:
update cvs changelog with 0.0.8.1 entry svn:r2501
2004-10-14 08:44:47 +02:00
- Fix a seg fault that can be triggered remotely for Tor
clients/servers with an open dirport.
changelog for 0.0.9pre3 and 0.0.8.1 svn:r2496
2004-10-14 07:31:03 +02:00
- Fix a rare assert trigger, where routerinfos for entries in
our cpath would expire while we're building the path.
- Fix a bug in OutboundBindAddress so it (hopefully) works.
- Fix a rare seg fault for people running hidden services on
intermittent connections.
- Fix a bug in parsing opt keywords with objects.
- Fix a stale pointer assert bug when a stream detaches and
reattaches.
- Fix a string format vulnerability (probably not exploitable)
in reporting stats locally.
- Fix an assert trigger: sometimes launching circuits can fail
immediately, e.g. because too many circuits have failed recently.
update changelog re: weasel's warn svn:r2505
2004-10-14 08:50:57 +02:00

0.0.9 was a fun one. those were the days. svn:r9409
2007-01-26 01:22:33 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.9pre2 - 2004-10-03
o Bugfixes:
- Make fetching a cached directory work for 64-bit platforms too.
- Make zlib.h a required header, not an optional header.
Changes in version 0.0.9pre1 - 2004-10-01
o Bugfixes:
- Stop using separate defaults for no-config-file and
empty-config-file. Now you have to explicitly turn off SocksPort,
if you don't want it open.
- Fix a bug in OutboundBindAddress so it (hopefully) works.
- Improve man page to mention more of the 0.0.8 features.
- Fix a rare seg fault for people running hidden services on
intermittent connections.
- Change our file IO stuff (especially wrt OpenSSL) so win32 is
happier.
- Fix more dns related bugs: send back resolve_failed and end cells
more reliably when the resolve fails, rather than closing the
circuit and then trying to send the cell. Also attach dummy resolve
connections to a circuit *before* calling dns_resolve(), to fix
a bug where cached answers would never be sent in RESOLVED cells.
- When we run out of disk space, or other log writing error, don't
crash. Just stop logging to that log and continue.
- We were starting to daemonize before we opened our logs, so if
there were any problems opening logs, we would complain to stderr,
which wouldn't work, and then mysteriously exit.
- Fix a rare bug where sometimes a verified OR would connect to us
before he'd uploaded his descriptor, which would cause us to
assign conn->nickname as though he's unverified. Now we look through
the fingerprint list to see if he's there.
- Fix a rare assert trigger, where routerinfos for entries in
our cpath would expire while we're building the path.
o Features:
- Clients can ask dirservers for /dir.z to get a compressed version
of the directory. Only works for servers running 0.0.9, of course.
- Make clients cache directories and use them to seed their router
lists at startup. This means clients have a datadir again.
- Configuration infrastructure support for warning on obsolete
options.
- Respond to content-encoding headers by trying to uncompress as
appropriate.
- Reply with a deflated directory when a client asks for "dir.z".
We could use allow-encodings instead, but allow-encodings isn't
specified in HTTP 1.0.
- Raise the max dns workers from 50 to 100.
- Discourage people from setting their dirfetchpostperiod more often
than once per minute.
- Protect dirservers from overzealous descriptor uploading -- wait
10 seconds after directory gets dirty, before regenerating.

and break out the 0.0.8 changelog too svn:r9408
2007-01-25 23:19:13 +01:00
o Port it to SunOS 5.9 / Athena
Changes in version 0.0.8rc2 - 2004-08-20
o Make it compile on cygwin again.
o When picking unverified routers, skip those with low uptime and/or
low bandwidth, depending on what properties you care about.
Changes in version 0.0.8rc1 - 2004-08-18
o Changes from 0.0.7.3:
- Bugfixes:
- Fix assert triggers: if the other side returns an address 0.0.0.0,
don't put it into the client dns cache.
- If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP address
should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy reject *:*
until we get our next directory.
- Features:
- Clients choose nodes proportional to advertised bandwidth.
- Avoid using nodes with low uptime as introduction points.
- Handle servers with dynamic IP addresses: don't replace
options->Address with the resolved one at startup, and
detect our address right before we make a routerinfo each time.
- 'FascistFirewall' option to pick dirservers and ORs on specific
ports; plus 'FirewallPorts' config option to tell FascistFirewall
which ports are open. (Defaults to 80,443)
- Be more aggressive about trying to make circuits when the network
has changed (e.g. when you unsuspend your laptop).
- Check for time skew on http headers; report date in response to
"GET /".
- If the entrynode config line has only one node, don't pick it as
an exitnode.
- Add strict{entry|exit}nodes config options. If set to 1, then
we refuse to build circuits that don't include the specified entry
or exit nodes.
- OutboundBindAddress config option, to bind to a specific
IP address for outgoing connect()s.
- End truncated log entries (e.g. directories) with "[truncated]".
o Patches to 0.0.8preX:
- Bugfixes:
- Patches to compile and run on win32 again (maybe)?
- Fix crash when looking for ~/.torrc with no $HOME set.
- Fix a race bug in the unit tests.
- Handle verified/unverified name collisions better when new
routerinfo's arrive in a directory.
- Sometimes routers were getting entered into the stats before
we'd assigned their identity_digest. Oops.
- Only pick and establish intro points after we've gotten a
directory.
- Features:
- AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
- Add a man page for tor-resolve.
Changes in version 0.0.7.3 - 2004-08-12
o Stop dnsworkers from triggering an assert failure when you
ask them to resolve the host "".
Changes in version 0.0.8pre3 - 2004-08-09
o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
- Allow multiple ORs with same nickname in routerlist -- now when
people give us one identity key for a nickname, then later
another, we don't constantly complain until the first expires.
- Remember used bandwidth (both in and out), and publish 15-minute
snapshots for the past day into our descriptor.
- You can now fetch $DIRURL/running-routers to get just the
running-routers line, not the whole descriptor list. (But
clients don't use this yet.)
- When people mistakenly use Tor as an http proxy, point them
at the tor-doc.html rather than the INSTALL.
- Remove our mostly unused -- and broken -- hex_encode()
function. Use base16_encode() instead. (Thanks to Timo Lindfors
for pointing out this bug.)
- Rotate onion keys every 12 hours, not every 2 hours, so we have
fewer problems with people using the wrong key.
- Change the default exit policy to reject the default edonkey,
kazaa, gnutella ports.
- Add replace_file() to util.[ch] to handle win32's rename().
o Changes from 0.0.8preX:
- Fix two bugs in saving onion keys to disk when rotating, so
hopefully we'll get fewer people using old onion keys.
- Fix an assert error that was making SocksPolicy not work.
- Be willing to expire routers that have an open dirport -- it's
just the authoritative dirservers we want to not forget.
- Reject tor-resolve requests for .onion addresses early, so we
don't build a whole rendezvous circuit and then fail.
- When you're warning a server that he's unverified, don't cry
wolf unpredictably.
- Fix a race condition: don't try to extend onto a connection
that's still handshaking.
- For servers in clique mode, require the conn to be open before
you'll choose it for your path.
- Fix some cosmetic bugs about duplicate mark-for-close, lack of
end relay cell, etc.
- Measure bandwidth capacity over the last 24 hours, not just 12
- Bugfix: authoritative dirservers were making and signing a new
directory for each client, rather than reusing the cached one.
Changes in version 0.0.8pre2 - 2004-08-04
o Changes from 0.0.7.2:
- Security fixes:
- Check directory signature _before_ you decide whether you're
you're running an obsolete version and should exit.
- Check directory signature _before_ you parse the running-routers
list to decide who's running or verified.
- Bugfixes and features:
- Check return value of fclose while writing to disk, so we don't
end up with broken files when servers run out of disk space.
- Log a warning if the user uses an unsafe socks variant, so people
are more likely to learn about privoxy or socat.
- Dirservers now include RFC1123-style dates in the HTTP headers,
which one day we will use to better detect clock skew.
o Changes from 0.0.8pre1:
- Make it compile without warnings again on win32.
- Log a warning if you're running an unverified server, to let you
know you might want to get it verified.
- Only pick a default nickname if you plan to be a server.
Changes in version 0.0.8pre1 - 2004-07-23
add release notes for 0.0.8pre1 svn:r2118
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
o Bugfixes:
- Made our unit tests compile again on OpenBSD 3.5, and tor
itself compile again on OpenBSD on a sparc64.
- We were neglecting milliseconds when logging on win32, so
everything appeared to happen at the beginning of each second.
o Protocol changes:
- 'Extend' relay cell payloads now include the digest of the
intended next hop's identity key. Now we can verify that we're
extending to the right router, and also extend to routers we
hadn't heard of before.
o Features:
- Tor nodes can now act as relays (with an advertised ORPort)
without being manually verified by the dirserver operators.
- Uploaded descriptors of unverified routers are now accepted
by the dirservers, and included in the directory.
- Verified routers are listed by nickname in the running-routers
list; unverified routers are listed as "$<fingerprint>".
- We now use hash-of-identity-key in most places rather than
nickname or addr:port, for improved security/flexibility.
and break out the 0.0.8 changelog too svn:r9408
2007-01-25 23:19:13 +01:00
- To avoid Sybil attacks, paths still use only verified servers.
But now we have a chance to play around with hybrid approaches.
- Nodes track bandwidth usage to estimate capacity (not used yet).
add release notes for 0.0.8pre1 svn:r2118
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
- ClientOnly option for nodes that never want to become servers.
- Directory caching.
- "AuthoritativeDir 1" option for the official dirservers.
- Now other nodes (clients and servers) will cache the latest
directory they've pulled down.
- They can enable their DirPort to serve it to others.
- Clients will pull down a directory from any node with an open
DirPort, and check the signature/timestamp correctly.
- Authoritative dirservers now fetch directories from other
authdirservers, to stay better synced.
- Running-routers list tells who's down also, along with noting
if they're verified (listed by nickname) or unverified (listed
by hash-of-key).
- Allow dirservers to serve running-router list separately.
This isn't used yet.
- ORs connect-on-demand to other ORs
- If you get an extend cell to an OR you're not connected to,
connect, handshake, and forward the create cell.
- The authoritative dirservers stay connected to everybody,
and everybody stays connected to 0.0.7 servers, but otherwise
clients/servers expire unused connections after 5 minutes.
- When servers get a sigint, they delay 30 seconds (refusing new
connections) then exit. A second sigint causes immediate exit.
- File and name management:
- Look for .torrc if no CONFDIR "torrc" is found.
- If no datadir is defined, then choose, make, and secure ~/.tor
as datadir.
- If torrc not found, exitpolicy reject *:*.
- Expands ~/ in filenames to $HOME/ (but doesn't yet expand ~arma).
- If no nickname is defined, derive default from hostname.
- Rename secret key files, e.g. identity.key -> secret_id_key,
to discourage people from mailing their identity key to tor-ops.
- Refuse to build a circuit before the directory has arrived --
it won't work anyway, since you won't know the right onion keys
to use.
and break out the 0.0.8 changelog too svn:r9408
2007-01-25 23:19:13 +01:00
- Try other dirservers immediately if the one you try is down. This
should tolerate down dirservers better now.
add release notes for 0.0.8pre1 svn:r2118
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
- Parse tor version numbers so we can do an is-newer-than check
rather than an is-in-the-list check.
- New socks command 'resolve', to let us shim gethostbyname()
locally.
- A 'tor_resolve' script to access the socks resolve functionality.
- A new socks-extensions.txt doc file to describe our
interpretation and extensions to the socks protocols.
- Add a ContactInfo option, which gets published in descriptor.
and break out the 0.0.8 changelog too svn:r9408
2007-01-25 23:19:13 +01:00
- Publish OR uptime in descriptor (and thus in directory) too.
add release notes for 0.0.8pre1 svn:r2118
2004-07-23 02:35:44 +02:00
- Write tor version at the top of each log file
- New docs in the tarball:
- tor-doc.html.
- Document that you should proxy your SSL traffic too.

o Updated the man page to reflect the new features.
Changes in version 0.0.7rc2 - 2004-06-06
o Changes from 0.0.7rc1:
- Make it build on Win32 again.
o Changes from 0.0.6.2:
- Rotate dnsworkers and cpuworkers on SIGHUP, so they get new config
settings too.
Changes in version 0.0.7rc1 - 2004-06-02
o Bugfixes:
- On sighup, we were adding another log without removing the first
one. So log messages would get duplicated n times for n sighups.
- Several cases of using a connection after we'd freed it. The
problem was that connections that are pending resolve are in both
the pending_resolve tree, and also the circuit's resolving_streams
list. When you want to remove one, you must remove it from both.
- Fix a double-mark-for-close where an end cell arrived for a
resolving stream, and then the resolve failed.
- Check directory signatures based on name of signer, not on whom
we got the directory from. This will let us cache directories more
easily.
o Features:
- Crank up some of our constants to handle more users.

to connect, we would give them a chance to flush before closing
them.

2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
- When we detached from a circuit because of resolvefailed, we
would immediately try the same circuit twice more, and then
give up on the resolve thinking we'd tried three different
exit nodes.
- Limit the number of intro circuits we'll attempt to build for a
hidden service per 15-minute period.
- Check recommended-software string *early*, before actually parsing
the directory. Thus we can detect an obsolete version and exit,
even if the new directory format doesn't parse.
o Fixes for security bugs:
- Remember which nodes are dirservers when you startup, and if a
random OR enables his dirport, don't automatically assume he's
a trusted dirserver.

2004-05-16 10:50:36 +02:00
- Directory connections were asking the wrong poll socket to
start writing, and not asking themselves to start writing.
- When we detached from a circuit because we sent a begin but
didn't get a connected, we would use it again the first time;
but after that we would correctly switch to a different one.
- Stop warning when the first onion decrypt attempt fails; they
will sometimes legitimately fail now that we rotate keys.

2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
- Override unaligned-access-ok check when $host_cpu is ia64 or
arm. Apparently they allow it but the kernel whines.
- Dirservers try to reconnect periodically too, in case connections

have failed.
- Fix some memory leaks in directory servers.

2004-06-02 00:42:01 +02:00
now directory disagreements are not so critical a problem.
interim changelog notes for 0.0.7pre1 svn:r1923
2004-05-28 17:05:48 +02:00
- Remove the upper limit on number of descriptors in a dirserver's
directory (not that we were anywhere close).
- Allow multiple logfiles at different severity ranges.
- Allow *BindAddress to specify ":port" rather than setting *Port
separately. Allow multiple instances of each BindAddress config
option, so you can bind to multiple interfaces if you want.
- Allow multiple exit policy lines, which are processed in order.
Now we don't need that huge line with all the commas in it.
- Enable accept/reject policies on SOCKS connections, so you can bind
to 0.0.0.0 but still control who can use your OP.

onion-level stream encryption, but not TLS-level). It turns
out we were doing something much more akin to a 16-character

[version bump only]
Changes in version 0.0.6rc4 - 2004-05-01
o Update the built-in dirservers list to use the new directory format
o Fix a rare seg fault: if a node offering a hidden service attempts
to build a circuit to Alice's rendezvous point and fails before it
reaches the last hop, it retries with a different circuit, but
then dies.
o Handle windows socket errors correctly.
Changes in version 0.0.6rc3 - 2004-04-28
o Don't expire non-general excess circuits (if we had enough
circuits open, we were expiring rendezvous circuits -- even
when they had a stream attached. oops.)
o Fetch randomness from /dev/urandom better (not via fopen/fread)
o Better debugging for tls errors
o Some versions of openssl have an SSL_pending function that erroneously
returns bytes when there is a non-application record pending.
o Set Content-Type on the directory and hidserv descriptor.
o Remove IVs from cipher code, since AES-ctr has none.
o Win32 fixes. Tor now compiles on win32 with no warnings/errors.
o We were using an array of length zero in a few places.
o win32's gethostbyname can't resolve an IP to an IP.
o win32's close can't close a socket.
Changes in version 0.0.6rc2 - 2004-04-26
o Fix a bug where we were closing tls connections intermittently.
It turns out openssl keeps its errors around -- so if an error
happens, and you don't ask about it, and then another openssl
operation happens and succeeds, and you ask if there was an error,
it tells you about the first error. Fun fun.
o Fix a bug that's been lurking since 27 may 03 (!)
When passing back a destroy cell, we would use the wrong circ id.
'Mostly harmless', but still worth fixing.
o Since we don't support truncateds much, don't bother sending them;
just close the circ.
o check for <machine/limits.h> so we build on NetBSD again (I hope).
o don't crash if a conn that sent a begin has suddenly lost its circuit
(this was quite rare).
Changes in version 0.0.6rc1 - 2004-04-25
o We now rotate link (tls context) keys and onion keys.
o CREATE cells now include oaep padding, so you can tell
if you decrypted them correctly.
o Add bandwidthburst to server descriptor.
o Directories now say which dirserver signed them.
o Use a tor_assert macro that logs failed assertions too.
Changes in version 0.0.6pre5 - 2004-04-18
o changes from 0.0.6pre4:
- make tor build on broken freebsd 5.2 installs
- fix a failed assert when you try an intro point, get a nack, and try
a second one and it works.
- when alice uses a port that the hidden service doesn't accept,
it now sends back an end cell (denied by exit policy). otherwise
alice would just have to wait to time out.
- fix another rare bug: when we had tried all the intro
points for a hidden service, we fetched the descriptor
again, but we left our introcirc thinking it had already
sent an intro, so it kept waiting for a response...
- bugfix: when you sleep your hidden-service laptop, as soon
as it wakes up it tries to upload a service descriptor, but
socketpair fails for some reason (localhost not up yet?).
now we simply give up on that upload, and we'll try again later.
i'd still like to find the bug though.
- if an intro circ waiting for an ack dies before getting one, then
count it as a nack
- we were reusing stale service descriptors and refetching usable
ones. oops.
Changes in version 0.0.6pre4 - 2004-04-14
o changes from 0.0.6pre3:
- when bob fails to connect to the rendezvous point, and his
circ didn't fail because of the rendezvous point itself, then
he retries a couple of times
- we expire introduction and rendezvous circs more thoroughly
(sometimes they were hanging around forever)
- we expire unattached rendezvous streams that have been around
too long (they were sticking around forever).
- fix a measly fencepost error that was crashing everybody with
a strict glibc.
Changes in version 0.0.6pre3 - 2004-04-14
o changes from 0.0.6pre2:
- make hup work again
- fix some memory leaks for dirservers
- allow more skew in rendezvous descriptor timestamps, to help
handle people like blanu who don't know what time it is
- normal circs are 3 hops, but some rend/intro circs are 4, if
the initiator doesn't get to choose the last hop
- send acks for introductions, so alice can know whether to try
again
- bob publishes intro points more correctly
o changes from 0.0.5:
- fix an assert trigger that's been plaguing us since the days
of 0.0.2prexx (thanks weasel!)
- retry stream correctly when we fail to connect because of
exit-policy-reject (should try another) or can't-resolve-address
(also should try another, because dns on random internet servers
is flaky).
- when we hup a dirserver and we've *removed* a server from the
approved-routers list, now we remove that server from the
in-memory directories too
Changes in version 0.0.6pre2 - 2004-04-08
o We fixed our base32 implementation. Now it works on all architectures.
Changes in version 0.0.6pre1 - 2004-04-08
commit the 0.0.6 changelog svn:r1769
2004-05-02 21:26:51 +02:00
o Features:
- Hidden services and rendezvous points are implemented. Go to
http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/ for an index of currently available
hidden services. (This only works via a socks4a proxy such as
Privoxy, and currently it's quite slow.)

o Hold socks connection open until reply is flushed (if possible)
o Make exit nodes resolve IPs to IPs immediately, rather than asking
the dns farm to do it.
o Fix c99 aliasing warnings in rephist.c
o Don't include server descriptors that are older than 24 hours in the
directory.
o Give socks 'reject' replies their whole 15s to attempt to flush,
rather than seeing the 60s timeout and assuming the flush had failed.
o Clean automake droppings from the cvs repository

2007-01-25 22:25:22 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.5rc1 - 2004-03-28
o Fix mangled-state bug in directory fetching (was causing sigpipes).
o Only build circuits after we've fetched the directory: clients were
using only the directory servers before they'd fetched a directory.
This also means longer startup time; so it goes.
o Fix an assert trigger where an OP would fail to handshake, and we'd
expect it to have a nickname.
o Work around a tsocks bug: do a socks reject when AP connection dies
early, else tsocks goes into an infinite loop.

2004-03-26 19:15:31 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.3 - 2004-03-26
o Warn and fail if server chose a nickname with illegal characters
o Port to Solaris and Sparc:
- include missing header fcntl.h
- have autoconf find -lsocket -lnsl automatically
- deal with hardware word alignment
- make uname() work (solaris has a different return convention)
- switch from using signal() to sigaction()
o Preliminary work on reputation system:
- Keep statistics on success/fail of connect attempts; they're published
by kill -USR1 currently.
- Add a RunTesting option to try to learn link state by creating test
circuits, even when SocksPort is off.
- Remove unused open circuits when there are too many.

Changes in version 0.0.2pre27 - 2004-03-14

- Allow internal tor networks (we were rejecting internal IPs,
now we allow them if they're set explicitly).
- And fix a few endian issues.
a changelog for pre26 svn:r1274
2004-03-15 02:03:10 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.2pre26 - 2004-03-14
o New features:
- If a stream times out after 15s without a connected cell, don't
try that circuit again: try a new one.
- Retry streams at most 4 times. Then give up.
- When a dirserver gets a descriptor from an unknown router, it
logs its fingerprint (so the dirserver operator can choose to
accept it even without mail from the server operator).
- Inform unapproved servers when we reject their descriptors.
- Make tor build on Windows again. It works as a client, who knows
about as a server.
- Clearer instructions in the torrc for how to set up a server.
- Be more efficient about reading fd's when our global token bucket
(used for rate limiting) becomes empty.
o Bugfixes:
- Stop asserting that computers always go forward in time. It's
simply not true.
- When we sent a cell (e.g. destroy) and then marked an OR connection
expired, we might close it before finishing a flush if the other
side isn't reading right then.
- Don't allow dirservers to start if they haven't defined
RecommendedVersions
- We were caching transient dns failures. Oops.
- Prevent servers from publishing an internal IP as their address.
- Address a strcat vulnerability in circuit.c

2004-03-04 22:40:38 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.2pre25 - 2004-03-04
o New features:
- Put the OR's IP in its router descriptor, not its fqdn. That way
we'll stop being stalled by gethostbyname for nodes with flaky dns,
e.g. poblano.
o Bugfixes:
- If the user typed in an address that didn't resolve, the server
crashed.

minor edits to changelog and readme svn:r1821
2004-05-09 18:32:22 +02:00

commit the pre24 changelog svn:r1216
2004-03-03 10:41:13 +01:00
- Hold certain marked_for_close connections open until they're finished
flushing, rather than losing bytes by closing them too early.
- Correctly report the reason for ending a stream
- Remove some duplicate calls to connection_mark_for_close
- Put switch_id and start_daemon earlier in the boot sequence, so it
will actually try to chdir() to options.DataDirectory
- Make 'make test' exit(1) if a test fails; fix some unit tests
- Make tor fail when you use a config option it doesn't know about,
rather than warn and continue.
- Make --version work
- Bugfixes on the rpm spec file and tor.sh, so it's more up to date
changelog for pre23 svn:r1181
2004-02-29 12:13:14 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.2pre23 - 2004-02-29
o New features:
- Print a statement when the first circ is finished, so the user
knows it's working.
- If a relay cell is unrecognized at the end of the circuit,
send back a destroy. (So attacks to mutate cells are more
clearly thwarted.)
- New config option 'excludenodes' to avoid certain nodes for circuits.
- When it daemonizes, it chdir's to the DataDirectory rather than "/",
so you can collect coredumps there.
o Bugfixes:
- Fix a bug in tls flushing where sometimes data got wedged and
didn't flush until more data got sent. Hopefully this bug was
a big factor in the random delays we were seeing.
- Make 'connected' cells include the resolved IP, so the client
dns cache actually gets populated.
- Disallow changing from ORPort=0 to ORPort>0 on hup.
- When we time-out on a stream and detach from the circuit, send an
end cell down it first.
- Only warn about an unknown router (in exitnodes, entrynodes,
excludenodes) after we've fetched a directory.
changelog entries for pre22 svn:r1135
2004-02-27 01:55:31 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.2pre22 - 2004-02-26
o New features:
- Servers publish less revealing uname information in descriptors.
- More memory tracking and assertions, to crash more usefully when
errors happen.
- If the default torrc isn't there, just use some default defaults.
Plus provide an internal dirservers file if they don't have one.
- When the user tries to use Tor as an http proxy, give them an http
501 failure explaining that we're a socks proxy.
- Dump a new router.desc on hup, to help confused people who change
their exit policies and then wonder why router.desc doesn't reflect
it.
- Clean up the generic tor.sh init script that we ship with.
o Bugfixes:
- If the exit stream is pending on the resolve, and a destroy arrives,
then the stream wasn't getting removed from the pending list. I
think this was the one causing recent server crashes.
- Use a more robust poll on OSX 10.3, since their poll is flaky.
- When it couldn't resolve any dirservers, it was useless from then on.
Now it reloads the RouterFile (or default dirservers) if it has no
dirservers.
- Move the 'tor' binary back to /usr/local/bin/ -- it turns out
many users don't even *have* a /usr/local/sbin/.

2004-02-18 09:54:35 +01:00

2004-02-18 10:40:18 +01:00
- There's a 'torify' wrapper script, with an accompanying

his/her torrc.
- Allow imaps and pop3s in default exit policy
o Bugfixes:
- Prevent picking middleman nodes as the last node in the circuit

2004-02-17 01:31:39 +01:00
Changes in version 0.0.2pre20 - 2004-01-30
o New features:
- We now have a deb package, and it's in debian unstable. Go to
it, apt-getters. :)
- I've split the TotalBandwidth option into BandwidthRate (how many
bytes per second you want to allow, long-term) and
BandwidthBurst (how many bytes you will allow at once before the cap
go nuts rewriting (changelog) history
2012-01-23 09:47:48 +01:00
kicks in). This better token bucket approach lets you, say, set
Put something useful into the ChangeLog, like past release announcments svn:r1061
2004-02-17 01:31:39 +01:00
BandwidthRate to 10KB/s and BandwidthBurst to 10MB, allowing good
performance while not exceeding your monthly bandwidth quota.
- Push out a tls record's worth of data once you've got it, rather
than waiting until you've read everything waiting to be read. This
may improve performance by pipelining better. We'll see.
- Add an AP_CONN_STATE_CONNECTING state, to allow streams to detach
from failed circuits (if they haven't been connected yet) and attach
to new ones.
- Expire old streams that haven't managed to connect. Some day we'll
have them reattach to new circuits instead.
o Bugfixes:
- Fix several memory leaks that were causing servers to become bloated
after a while.
- Fix a few very rare assert triggers. A few more remain.
- Setuid to User _before_ complaining about running as root.
Changes in version 0.0.2pre19 - 2004-01-07
o Bugfixes:
- Fix deadlock condition in dns farm. We were telling a child to die by
closing the parent's file descriptor to him. But newer children were
inheriting the open file descriptor from the parent, and since they
weren't closing it, the socket never closed, so the child never read
eof, so he never knew to exit. Similarly, dns workers were holding
open other sockets, leading to all sorts of chaos.
- New cleaner daemon() code for forking and backgrounding.
- If you log to a file, it now prints an entry at the top of the
logfile so you know it's working.
- The onionskin challenge length was 30 bytes longer than necessary.
- Started to patch up the spec so it's not quite so out of date.
Changes in version 0.0.2pre18 - 2004-01-02
o Bugfixes:
- Fix endian issues with the 'integrity' field in the relay header.
- Fix a potential bug where connections in state
AP_CONN_STATE_CIRCUIT_WAIT might unexpectedly ask to write.
Changes in version 0.0.2pre17 - 2003-12-30
o Bugfixes:
- Made --debuglogfile (or any second log file, actually) work.
- Resolved an edge case in get_unique_circ_id_by_conn where a smart
adversary could force us into an infinite loop.
o Features:
- Each onionskin handshake now includes a hash of the computed key,
to prove the server's identity and help perfect forward secrecy.
- Changed cell size from 256 to 512 bytes (working toward compatibility
with MorphMix).
- Changed cell length to 2 bytes, and moved it to the relay header.
- Implemented end-to-end integrity checking for the payloads of
relay cells.
- Separated streamid from 'recognized' (otherwise circuits will get
messed up when we try to have streams exit from the middle). We
use the integrity-checking to confirm that a cell is addressed to
this hop.
- Randomize the initial circid and streamid values, so an adversary who
breaks into a node can't learn how many circuits or streams have
been made so far.
Changes in version 0.0.2pre16 - 2003-12-14
o Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug that made HUP trigger an assert
- Fixed a bug where a circuit that immediately failed wasn't being
counted as a failed circuit in counting retries.
o Features:
- Now we close the circuit when we get a truncated cell: otherwise we're
open to an anonymity attack where a bad node in the path truncates
the circuit and then we open streams at him.
- Add port ranges to exit policies
- Add a conservative default exit policy
- Warn if you're running tor as root
- on HUP, retry OR connections and close/rebind listeners
- options.EntryNodes: try these nodes first when picking the first node
- options.ExitNodes: if your best choices happen to include any of
your preferred exit nodes, you choose among just those preferred
exit nodes.
- options.ExcludedNodes: nodes that are never picked in path building
Changes in version 0.0.2pre15 - 2003-12-03
o Robustness and bugfixes:
- Sometimes clients would cache incorrect DNS resolves, which would
really screw things up.
- An OP that goes offline would slowly leak all its sockets and stop
working.
- A wide variety of bugfixes in exit node selection, exit policy
handling, and processing pending streams when a new circuit is
established.
- Pick nodes for a path only from those the directory says are up
- Choose randomly from all running dirservers, not always the first one
- Increase allowed http header size for directory fetch.
- Stop writing to stderr (if we're daemonized it will be closed).
- Enable -g always, so cores will be more useful to me.
- Switch "-lcrypto -lssl" to "-lssl -lcrypto" for broken distributions.
o Documentation:
- Wrote a man page. It lists commonly used options.
o Configuration:
- Change default loglevel to warn.
- Make PidFile default to null rather than littering in your CWD.
- OnionRouter config option is now obsolete. Instead it just checks
ORPort>0.
- Moved to a single unified torrc file for both clients and servers.
Changes in version 0.0.2pre14 - 2003-11-29
o Robustness and bugfixes:
- Force the admin to make the DataDirectory himself
- to get ownership/permissions right
- so clients no longer make a DataDirectory and then never use it
- fix bug where a client who was offline for 45 minutes would never
pull down a directory again
- fix (or at least hide really well) the dns assert bug that was
causing server crashes
- warnings and improved robustness wrt clockskew for certs
- use the native daemon(3) to daemonize, when available
- exit if bind() fails
- exit if neither socksport nor orport is defined
- include our own tor_timegm (Win32 doesn't have its own)
- bugfix for win32 with lots of connections
- fix minor bias in PRNG
- make dirserver more robust to corrupt cached directory
o Documentation:
- Wrote the design document (woo)
o Circuit building and exit policies:
- Circuits no longer try to use nodes that the directory has told them
are down.
- Exit policies now support bitmasks (18.0.0.0/255.0.0.0) and
bitcounts (18.0.0.0/8).
- Make AP connections standby for a circuit if no suitable circuit
exists, rather than failing
- Circuits choose exit node based on addr/port, exit policies, and
which AP connections are standing by
- Bump min pathlen from 2 to 3
- Relay end cells have a payload to describe why the stream ended.
- If the stream failed because of exit policy, try again with a new
circuit.
- Clients have a dns cache to remember resolved addresses.
- Notice more quickly when we have no working circuits
o Configuration:
- APPort is now called SocksPort
- SocksBindAddress, ORBindAddress, DirBindAddress let you configure
where to bind
- RecommendedVersions is now a config variable rather than
hardcoded (for dirservers)
- Reloads config on HUP
- Usage info on -h or --help
- If you set User and Group config vars, it'll setu/gid to them.

Changes in version 0.0.2pre13 - 2003-10-19
o General stability:
- SSL_write no longer fails when it returns WANTWRITE and the number
of bytes in the buf has changed by the next SSL_write call.
- Fix segfault fetching directory when network is down
- Fix a variety of minor memory leaks
- Dirservers reload the fingerprints file on HUP, so I don't have
to take down the network when I approve a new router
- Default server config file has explicit Address line to specify fqdn
o Buffers:
- Buffers grow and shrink as needed (Cut process size from 20M to 2M)
- Make listener connections not ever alloc bufs
o Autoconf improvements:
- don't clobber an external CFLAGS in ./configure
- Make install now works
- create var/lib/tor on make install
- autocreate a tor.sh initscript to help distribs
- autocreate the torrc and sample-server-torrc with correct paths
o Log files and Daemonizing now work:
- If --DebugLogFile is specified, log to it at -l debug
- If --LogFile is specified, use it instead of commandline
- If --RunAsDaemon is set, tor forks and backgrounds on startup
