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.
Introduce get_first_listener_addrport_for_pt() which returns a string
containing the addrport of the first listener we could find. Use it to
form the TOR_PT_ORPORT managed proxy protocol line.
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.
When we started RefuseUnknownExits back in 0.2.2.11-alpha, we
started making exits act like they cache directory info (since they
need an up-to-date idea of who is really a router). But this
included fetching needless (unrecognized) authorities' certs, which
doesn't make any sense for them.
This is related to, but not necessarily the same as, the issue that
Ian reported for bug #2297.

appropriate name onto the changelog.)

Nick here. I tweaked this patch a little to make it apply cleanly to
master, to extract some common code into a function, and to replace
snprintf with tor_snprintf.

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.
Calling crypto_cipher_free(NULL) is always safe, since (by
convention) all of our xyz_free() functions treat xyz_free(NULL) as
a no-op.
Flagged by coverity scan; fixes CID 508 and 509.
A previous commit in the 5527 branch had moved
router_get_mutable_by_digest(digest_rcvd) to happen before we did
tor_assert(digest_rcvd), which would have defeated the purpose of
the assert.
Specifically, I believe it dates back to when extend cells had address:port
but no digest in them. The special edge case is certainly not worth the
complexity these days.
* This assertion fails when executing the whole suite, but not when executing
this test by itself
* Ideally I'd prefer starting with a guaranteed empty directory, but it's not
very important in this case as non-existence of other paths is being checked
explicitly
* Add several failing tests (embedded in an "#if 0" block) for behaviour that
doesn't match strtok_r
* Add another, passing, more interesting test
* Use test_eq_ptr(NULL, ...) instead of test_assert(NULL == ...)
* Add many new test cases, tweak/improve existing ones, reorganize them a bit
* Switch the parameters in all test_eq calls so the expected value is the first
* Change all the "r = tor_sscanf(...);\ntest_eq(1, r)" to the more compact
"test_eq(1, tor_sscanf(...))". It may be a tiny bit harder to find the
tor_sscanf calls (it's the long lines anyway), but it saves a lot of lines,
which should help readability.
* Switch some test_eq parameters so the expected is always the first parameter
* Drop some manual checks of compressed format magic numbers (they're pointless
and they make the unit tests less readable and more fragile, considering
we're already indirectly checking those magic numbers via the
detect_compression_method function)
* Add a couple of extra assertions
* The test currently fails, but it's commented out (with an "#if 0")
* As a broken octal actually gives a parse error, it seems fair that this
fails, too
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.
In the distant past, connection_handle_read() could be called when there
are pending bytes in the TLS object during the main loop. The design
since then has been to always read all pending bytes immediately, so
read events only trigger when the socket actually has bytes to read.
Resolves bug 5324.
Since 0.2.3.1-alpha, we've supported the Linux extensions to socket(),
open(), socketpair(), and accept() that enable us to create an fd and
make it close-on-exec with a single syscall. This not only saves us a
syscall (big deal), but makes us less vulnerable to race conditions
where we open a socket and then exec before we can make it
close-on-exec.
But these extensions are not supported on all Linuxes: They were added
between 2.6.23 or so and 2.6.28 or so. If you were to build your Tor
against a recent Linux's kernel headers, and then run it with a older
kernel, you would find yourselve unable to open sockets. Ouch!
The solution here is that, when one of these syscalls fails with
EINVAL, we should try again in the portable way. This adds an extra
syscall in the case where we built with new headers and are running
with old ones, but it will at least allow Tor to work.
Fixes bug 5112; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
There is a facility (not used now in Tor) to avoid storing the hash
of a given type if it is a fast-to-calculate hash.
There are also a few ancient-openbsd compilation issues fixed here.
The fact that Tor says INLINE while Libevent says inline remains
unaddressed.
The big change here is a patch (first added to Libevent by Ed Day)
to make sure that the CreateProcess forked-test trick works even
when the main test program is invoked without its .exe suffix.
The invariant is: unconfigured_proxies_n is exactly the number of
managed_proxy_t not in state PT_PROTO_COMPLETED.
To maintain this, we need to stop overloading unconfigured_proxies_n
to also count managed_proxy_t items that are in PT_PROTO_COMPLETED but
which might need relaunching. To make it so we can detect those, we
introduce another variable.
This commit also adds a function to assert that we haven't broken the
invariant.
Fix for bug 5084; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha, I think.
In some cases, we solve this by doing a SMARTLIST_DEL_CURRENT before
calling managed_proxy_destroy. But for a trickier one, we just make a
copy of the list before iterating over it, so that changes to the
manage proxy list don't hurt our iteration.
This could be related to bug 5084.
in Makefile.am, we used it without quoting it, causing build failure if
your openssl/sed/sha1sum happened to live in a directory with a space in
it (very common on windows)
This reverts commit 55e8cae815.
The conversation from irc:
> weasel: i had intended to leave torrc.sample.in alone in maint-0.2.2,
since i don't want to make all your stable users have to deal with
a torrc change. but nickm changed it. is it in fact the case that a
change in that file means a change in the deb?
<weasel> it means you'll prompt every single user who ever touched
their torrc
<weasel> and they will be asked if they like your new version better
than what they have right now
<weasel> so it's not great
Instead I changed the website to redirect requests for the tor-manual
URL listed in maint-0.2.2's torrc.sample.in so the link will still work.
If we don't do this, [::] can be interpreted to mean all v4 and all
v6 addresses. Found by dcf. Fixes bug 4760. See RFC 3493 section
5.3 for more info.
There was one MS_WINDOWS that remained because it wasn't on a macro
line; a few remaining uses (and the definition!) in configure.in;
and a now-nonsensical stanza of eventdns_tor.h that previously
defined 'WIN32' if it didn't exist.
This commit is completely mechanical; I used this perl script to make it:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i.bak -p
if (/^\s*\#/) {
s/MS_WINDOWS/_WIN32/g;
s/\bWIN32\b/_WIN32/g;
}
Previously the client would ask the bridge for microdescriptors, which are
only supported in 0.2.3.x and later, and then fail to bootstrap when it
didn't get the answers it wanted. Fixes bug 4013; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
The fix here is to revert to using normal descriptors if any of our
bridges are known to not support microdescs. This is not ideal, a) because
we'll start downloading a microdesc consensus as soon as we get a bridge
descriptor, and that will waste time if we later get a bridge descriptor
that tells us we don't like microdescriptors; and b) by changing our mind
we're leaking to our other bridges that we have an old-version bridge.
The alternate fix would have been to change
we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits() to ask if *any* of our bridges
can support microdescriptors, and then change the directory logic that
picks a bridge to only select from those that do. For people living in
the future, where 0.2.2.x is obsolete, there won't be a difference.
Note that in either of these potential fixes, we have risk of oscillation
if our one funny-looking bridges goes away / comes back.
