From c32ec9c425e9539bcc8ede95612e2d331c2cc2dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Dingledine Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:00:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Detect bug 6252 (unexpected sendme cell) I only check on circuits, not streams, since bloating your stream window past the initial circuit window can't help you much. Also, I compare to CIRCWINDOW_START_MAX so we don't have surprising races if we lower CIRCWINDOW_START for an experiment. --- changes/bug6252 | 8 ++++++++ src/or/relay.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changes/bug6252 diff --git a/changes/bug6252 b/changes/bug6252 new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0d29203fab --- /dev/null +++ b/changes/bug6252 @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ + o Security fixes: + - Tear down the circuit if we get an unexpected SENDME cell.
