From adeecce53b68eb7183bf8d5b3051303b5f2f1d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 17:06:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] forward-port the 0.4.0.4-rc changelog --- ChangeLog | 138 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 138 insertions(+) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 9b512c6aed..accde75b97 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,141 @@ +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. + + 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.
