Previously, we would reset it at the drop of a hat -- every time a second
passes without any of the intro-point circs already launched for the
service failing.
Fixes bug 4607.
In general, whenever we can, we should be doing
base64_decode(buf, sizeof(buf), s, strlen(s)),
and not
base_64_decode(buf, expr1, s, expr2)
where we hope that expr1 is a good name for the size of buf and expr2
is a good formula for the length of the base64 expression in s.
Fixes coverity CID 508: coverity scan doesn't like checking a
variable for non-NULL after it has been definitely dereferenced.
This should take us back down to zero coverity issues.
This is just refactoring work here. The old logic was kind of
convoluted, especially after the bug 5572 fix. We don't actually need to
distinguish so many cases here. Dropping detection of the
"!old_options || !old_options->DynamicDHGroups" case is fine because
that's the same that we'd do for clients.
Also add a changes file for bug 5572.
The message only means that we're publishing a new descriptor when we
are actually in some kind of server mode, and publication is on.
Fix for bug 3942; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
This fixes a side-channel attack on the (fortunately unused!)
BridgePassword option for bridge authorities. Fix for bug 5543;
bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
This is ticket 2479. Roger's original explanation was:
We have a series of bugs where relays publish a descriptor within
12 hours of their last descriptor, but the authorities drop it
because it's not different "enough" from the last one and it's
too close to the last one.
The original goal of this idea was to a) reduce the number of new
descriptors authorities accept (and thus have to store) and b)
reduce the total number of descriptors that clients and mirrors
fetch. It's a defense against bugs where relays publish a new
descriptor every minute.
Now that we're putting out one consensus per hour, we're doing
better at the total damage that can be caused by 'b'.
There are broader-scale design changes that would help here, and
we've had a trac entry open for years about how relays should
recognize that they're not in the consensus, or recognize when
their publish failed, and republish sooner.
In the mean time, I think we should change some of the parameters
to make the problem less painful.
One of our unit tests checks that they behave correctly (giving an
error) when the base is negative. But there isn't a guarantee that
strtol and friends actually handle negative bases correctly.
Found by Coverity Scan; fix for CID 504.
Coverity doesn't like the fact that we were storing the value of
parse_config_line_from_str() but not checking it in a couple of
cases.
Fixes CID 505 and 506.
