See bug 2850 for rationale: it appears that on some busy exits, the OS
decides that every single port is now unusable because they have been
all used too recently.
Previously we ensured that it would get called periodically by doing
it from inside the code that added microdescriptors. That won't work
though: it would interfere with our code that tried to read microdescs
from disk initially. Instead, we should consider rebuilding the cache
periodically, and on startup.
Instead of just saying "boogity boogity!" let's actually warn people
that they need to configure stuff right to be safe, and point them
at instructions for how to do that.
Resolves bug 2474.
Clients and relays haven't used them since early 0.2.0.x. The only
remaining use by authorities learning about new relays ahead of scedule;
see proposal 147 for what we intend to do about that.
We're leaving in an option (FetchV2Networkstatus) to manually fetch v2
networkstatuses, because apparently dnsel and maybe bwauth want them.
This fixes bug 3022.
A v0 HS authority stores v0 HS descriptors in the same descriptor
cache that its HS client functionality uses. Thus, if the HS
authority operator clears its client HS descriptor cache, ALL v0
HS descriptors will be lost. That would be bad.
These functions can return NULL for otherwise-valid values of
time_t. Notably, the glibc gmtime manpage says it can return NULL
if the year if greater than INT_MAX, and the windows MSDN gmtime
page says it can return NULL for negative time_t values.
Also, our formatting code is not guaranteed to correctly handle
years after 9999 CE.
This patch tries to correct this by detecting NULL values from
gmtime/localtime_r, and trying to clip them to a reasonable end of
the scale. If they are in the middle of the scale, we call it a
downright error.
Arguably, it's a bug to get out-of-bounds dates like this to begin
with. But we've had bugs of this kind in the past, and warning when
we see a bug is much kinder than doing a NULL-pointer dereference.
Boboper found this one too.
Previously, it would remove every trackhostexits-derived mapping
*from* xyz.<exitname>.exit; it was supposed to remove every
trackhostexits-derived mapping *to* xyz.<exitname>.exit.

This once maybe made sense when ExitNodes meant "Here are 3 exits;
use them all", but now it more typically means "Here are 3
countries; exit from there." Using non-Fast/Stable exits created a
potential partitioning opportunity and an annoying stability
problem.
(Don't worry about the case where all of our ExitNodes are non-Fast
or non-Stable: we handle that later in the function by retrying with
need_capacity and need_uptime set to 0.)
The last entry of the *Maxima values in the state file was inflated by a
factor of NUM_SECS_ROLLING_MEASURE (currently 10). This could lead to
a wrong maximum value propagating through the state file history.
When reading the bw history from the state file, we'd add the 900-second
value as traffic that occured during one second. Fix that by adding the
average value to each second.
This bug was present since 0.2.0.5-alpha, but was hidden until
0.2.23-alpha when we started using the saved values.
Some tor relays would report lines like these in their extrainfo
documents:
dirreq-write-history 2011-03-14 16:46:44 (900 s)
This was confusing to some people who look at the stats. It would happen
whenever a relay first starts up, or when a relay has dirport disabled.
Change this so that lines without actual bw entries are omitted.
Implements ticket 2497.
While doing so, get rid of the now unnecessary function
control_signal_act().
Fixes bug 2917, reported by Robert Ransom. Bugfix on commit
9b4aa8d2ab. This patch is loosely based on
a patch by Robert (Changelog entry).
Instead of answering GETINFO requests about our geoip usage only after
running for 24 hours, this patch makes us answer GETINFO requests
immediately. We still round and quantize as before.
Implements bug2711.
Also, refactor the heck out of the bridge usage formatting code. No
longer should we need to do a generate-parse-and-regenerate cycle to
get the controller string, and that lets us simplify the code a lot.
- Document it in the manpage
- Add a changes entry
- No need to log when it is set: we don't log for other options.
- Use doxygen to document the new flag.
- Test truth of C variables with "if (x)", not "if (x == 1)".
- Simplify a complex boolean expression by breaking it up.
We've got millisecond timers now, we might as well use them.
This change won't actually make circuits get expiered with microsecond
precision, since we only call the expiry functions once per second.
Still, it should avoid the situation where we have a circuit get
expired too early because of rounding.
A couple of the expiry functions now call tor_gettimeofday: this
should be cheap since we're only doing it once per second. If it gets
to be called more often, though, we should onsider having the current
time be an argument again.
Since svn r1475/git 5b6099e8 in tor-0.0.6, we have responded to an
exhaustion of all 65535 stream IDs on a circuit by marking that
circuit for close. That's not the right response. Instead, we
should mark the circuit as "too dirty for new circuits".
Of course in reality this isn't really right either. If somebody
has managed to cram 65535 streams onto a circuit, the circuit is
probably not going to work well for any of those streams, so maybe
we should be limiting the number of streams on an origin circuit
concurrently.
Also, closing the stream in this case is probably the wrong thing to
do as well, but fixing that can also wait.
We fixed bug 539 (where directories would say "503" but send data
anyway) back in 0.2.0.16-alpha/0.1.2.19. Because most directory
versions were affected, we added workaround to make sure that we
examined the contents of 503-replies to make sure there wasn't any
data for them to find. But now that such routers are nonexistent,
we can remove this code. (Even if somebody fired up an 0.1.2.19
directory cache today, it would still be fine to ignore data in its
erroneous 503 replies.)
The first was genuinely impossible, I think: it could only happen
when the amount we read differed from the amount we wanted to read
by more than INT_MAX.
The second is just very unlikely: it would give incorrect results to
the controller if you somehow wrote or read more than 4GB on one
edge conn in one second. That one is a bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
In afe414 (tor-0.1.0.1-rc~173), when we moved to
connection_edge_end_errno(), we used it in handling errors from
connection_connect(). That's not so good, since by the time
connection_connect() returns, the socket is no longer set, and we're
supposed to be looking at the socket_errno return value from
connection_connect() instead. So do what we should've done, and
look at the socket_errno value that we get from connection_connect().
Right now, we only consider sending stream-level SENDME cells when we
have completely flushed a connection_edge's outbuf, or when it sends
us a DATA cell. Neither of these is ideal for throughput.
This patch changes the behavior so we now call
connection_edge_consider_sending_sendme when we flush _some_ data from
an edge outbuf.
Fix for bug 2756; bugfix on svn r152.

works on nodes.

Partial backport of daa0326aaa .

We want to use the discard port correctly, so a htons() was missing.
Also we need to set it correctly depending on address family.
Review provided by danieldg
Our regular DH parameters that we use for circuit and rendezvous
crypto are unchanged. This is yet another small step on the path of
protocol fingerprinting resistance.
(Backport from 0.2.2's 5ed73e3807)
rransom noticed that a change of ORPort is just as bad as a change of IP
address from a client's perspective, because both mean that the relay is
not available to them while the new information hasn't propagated.
Change the bug1035 fix accordingly.
Also make sure we don't log a bridge's IP address (which might happen
when we are the bridge authority).
It is often not entirely clear what options Tor was built with, so it
might not be immediately obvious which config file Tor is using when it
found one. Log the config file at startup.
We detect and reject said attempts if there is no chosen exit node or
circuit: connecting to a private addr via a randomly chosen exit node
will usually fail (if all exits reject private addresses), is always
ill-defined (you're not asking for any particular host or service),
and usually an error (you've configured all requests to go over Tor
when you really wanted to configure all _remote_ requests to go over
Tor).
This can also help detect forwarding loop requests.

If we got a signed digest that was shorter than the required digest
length, but longer than 20 bytes, we would accept it as long

Previously if you wanted to say "All messages except network
messages", you needed to say "[*,~net]" and if you said "[~net]" by
mistake, you would get no messages at all. Now, if you say "[~net]",
you get everything except networking messages.
When we added support for separate client tls certs on bridges in
a2bb0bfdd5 we forgot to correctly initialize this when changing
from relay to bridge or vice versa while Tor is running. Fix that
by always initializing keys when the state changes.
Fixes bug 2433.
When we stopped using svn, 0.2.1.x lost the ability to notice its svn
revision and report it in the version number. However, it kept
looking at the micro-revision.i file... so if you switched to master,
built tor, then switched to 0.2.1.x, you'd get a micro-revision.i file
from master reported as an SVN tag. This patch takes out the "include
the svn tag" logic entirely.
Bugfix on 0.2.1.15-rc; fixes bug 2402.
Our regular DH parameters that we use for circuit and rendezvous
crypto are unchanged. This is yet another small step on the path of
protocol fingerprinting resistance.
This patch imposes (very long) limits on the length of a line in a
directory document, and on the length of a certificate. I don't
think it should actually be possible to overrun these remotely,
since we already impose a maximum size on any directory object we're
downloading, but a little defensive programming never hurt anybody.
Roger emailed me that doorss reported these on IRC, but nobody seems
to have put them on the bugtracker.
We need to make sure that the worst thing that a weird consensus param
can do to us is to break our Tor (and only if the other Tors are
reliably broken in the same way) so that the majority of directory
authorities can't pull any attacks that are worse than the DoS that
they can trigger by simply shutting down.
One of these worse things was the cbtnummodes parameter, which could
lead to heap corruption on some systems if the value was sufficiently
large.
This commit fixes this particular issue and also introduces sanity
checking for all consensus parameters.
Our public key functions assumed that they were always writing into a
large enough buffer. In one case, they weren't.
(Incorporates fixes from sebastian)
In dnsserv_resolved(), we carefully made a nul-terminated copy of the
answer in a PTR RESOLVED cell... then never used that nul-terminated
copy. Ouch.
Surprisingly this one isn't as huge a security problem as it could be.
The only place where the input to dnsserv_resolved wasn't necessarily
nul-terminated was when it was called indirectly from relay.c with the
contents of a relay cell's payload. If the end of the payload was
filled with junk, eventdns.c would take the strdup() of the name [This
part is bad; we might crash there if the cell is in a bad part of the
stack or the heap] and get a name of at least length
495[*]. eventdns.c then rejects any name of length over 255, so the
bogus data would be neither transmitted nor altered.
[*] If the name was less than 495 bytes long, the client wouldn't
actually be reading off the end of the cell.
Nonetheless this is a reasonably annoying bug. Better fix it.
Found while looking at bug 2332, reported by doorss. Bugfix on
0.2.0.1-alpha.
Previously, we only looked at up to 128 bytes. This is a bad idea
since socks messages can be at least 256+x bytes long. Now we look at
up to 512 bytes; this should be enough for 0.2.2.x to handle all valid
SOCKS messages. For 0.2.3.x, we can think about handling trickier
cases.
Fixes 2330. Bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha.
Right now, Tor routers don't save the maxima values from the
bw_history_t between sessions. That's no good, since we use those
values to determine bandwidth. This code adds a new BWHist.*Maximum
set of values to the state file. If they're not present, we estimate
them by taking the observed total bandwidth and dividing it by the
period length, which provides a lower bound.
This should fix bug 1863. I'm calling it a feature.
Previously, our state parsing code would fail to parse a bwhist
correctly if the Interval was anything other than the default
hardcoded 15 minutes. This change makes the parsing less incorrect,
though the resulting history array might get strange values in it if
the intervals don't match the one we're using. (That is, if stuff was
generated in 15 minute intervals, and we read it into an array that
expects 30 minute intervals, we're fine, since values can be combined
pairwise. But if we generate data at 30 minute intervals and read it
into 15 minute intervals, alternating buckets will be empty.)
Bugfix on 0.1.1.11-alpha.
An object, you'll recall, is something between -----BEGIN----- and
-----END----- tags in a directory document. Some of our code, as
doorss has noted in bug 2352, could assert if one of these ever
overflowed SIZE_T_CEILING but not INT_MAX. As a solution, I'm setting
a maximum size on a single object such that neither of these limits
will ever be hit. I'm also fixing the INT_MAX checks, just to be sure.
When using libevent 2, we use evdns_base_resolve_*(). When not, we
fake evdns_base_resolve_*() using evdns_resolve_*().
Our old check was looking for negative values (like libevent 2
returns), but our eventdns.c code returns 1. This code makes the
check just test for nonzero.
Note that this broken check was not for _resolve_ failures or even for
failures to _launch_ a resolve: it was for failures to _create_ or
_encode_ a resolve request.
Bug introduced in 81eee0ecfff3dac1e9438719d2f7dc0ba7e84a71; found by
lodger; uploaded to trac by rransom. Bug 2363. Fix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
This was originally a patch provided by pipe
(http://www.mail-archive.com/or-talk@freehaven.net/msg13085.html) to
provide a method for controllers to query the total amount of traffic
tor has handled (this is a frequently requested piece of information
by relay operators).
We were decrementing "available" twice for each in-use address we ran
across. This would make us declare that we ran out of virtual
addresses when the address space was only half full.
On Windows, we never use pthreads, since it doesn't usually exist,
and when it does it tends to be a little weirdly-behaved. But some
mingw installations have a pthreads installed, so autoconf detects
pthread.h and tells us about it. This would make us include
pthread.h, which could make for trouble when the iffy pthread.h
tried to include config.h.
This patch changes compat.h so that we never include pthread.h on
Windows. Fixes bug 2313; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
If you had TIME_MAX > INT_MAX, and your "time_to_exhaust_bw =
accountingmax/expected_bandwidth_usage * 60" calculation managed to
overflow INT_MAX, then your time_to_consider value could underflow and
wind up being rediculously low or high. "Low" was no problem;
negative values got caught by the (time_to_consider <= 0) check.
"High", however, would get you a wakeup time somewhere in the distant
future.
The fix is to check for time_to_exhaust_bw overflowing INT_MAX, not
TIME_MAX: We don't allow any accounting interval longer than a month,
so if time_to_exhaust_bw is significantly larger than 31*24*60*60, we
can just clip it.
This is a bugfix on 0.0.9pre6, when accounting was first introduced.
It fixes bug 2146, unless there are other causes there too. The fix
is from boboper. (I tweaked it slightly by removing an assignment
that boboper marked as dead, and lowering a variable that no longer
needed to be function-scoped.)
The old logic would have us fetch from authorities if we were refusing
unknown exits and our exit policy was reject*. Instead, we want to
fetch from authorities if we're refusing unknown exits and our exit
policy is _NOT_ reject*.
Fixed by boboper. Fixes more of 2097. Bugfix on 0.2.2.16-alpha.
We use a hash of the identity key to seed a prng to tell when an
accounting period should end. But thanks to the bug998 changes,
clients no longer have server-identity keys to use as a long-term seed
in accounting calculations. In any case, their identity keys (as used
in TLS) were never never fixed. So we can just set the wakeup time
from a random seed instead there. Still open is whether everybody
should be random.
This patch fixes bug 2235, which was introduced in 0.2.2.18-alpha.
Diagnosed with help from boboper on irc.
Doing so could make Libevent call Libevent from inside a Libevent

Pick 5 seconds as the limit. 5 seconds is a compromise here between
making sure the user notices that the bad behaviour is (still) happening
and not spamming their log too much needlessly (the log message is
pretty long). We also keep warning every time if safesocks is
specified, because then the user presumably wants to hear about every
blocked instance.
(This is based on the original patch by Sebastian, then backported to
0.2.2 and with warnings split into their own function.)
Our checks that we don't exceed the 50 KB size limit of extra-info
descriptors apparently failed. This patch fixes these checks and reserves
another 250 bytes for appending the signature. Fixes bug 2183.
We would never actually enforce multiplicity rules when parsing
annotations, since the counts array never got entries added to it for

We had a spelling discrepancy between the manpage and the source code
for some option. Resolve these in favor of the manpage, because it
makes more sense (for example, HTTP should be capitalized).
Change the default values for collecting directory request statistics and
inlcuding them in extra-info descriptors to 1.
Don't break if we are configured to collect directory request or entry
statistics and don't have a GeoIP database. Instead, print out a notice
and skip initializing the affected statistics code.
We decided to no longer ship expert packages for OS X because they're a
lot of trouble to keep maintained and confuse users. For those who want
a tor on OS X without Vidalia, macports is a fine option. Alternatively,
building from source is easy, too.
The polipo stuff that is still required for the Vidalia bundle build can
now be found in the torbrowser repository,
git://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git.
In the case where old_router == NULL but sdmap has an entry for the
router, we can currently safely infer that the old_router was not a
bridge. Add an assert to ensure that this remains true, and fix the
logic not to die with the tor_assert(old_router) call.
We used to enable ssp-buffer-size=1 only when building with
--enable-gcc-warnings. That would result in warnings (and no
protection for small arrays) when building with
--enable-gcc-hardening without enabling warnings, too. Fixes bug
2031.
Also remove an XXX: We now allow to build with -fstack-protector
by using --enable-gcc-hardening.
A node_t is an abstraction over routerstatus_t, routerinfo_t, and
microdesc_t. It should try to present a consistent interface to all
of them. There should be a node_t for a server whenever there is
* A routerinfo_t for it in the routerlist
* A routerstatus_t in the current_consensus.
(note that a microdesc_t alone isn't enough to make a node_t exist,
since microdescriptors aren't usable on their own.)
There are three ways to get a node_t right now: looking it up by ID,
looking it up by nickname, and iterating over the whole list of
microdescriptors.
All (or nearly all) functions that are supposed to return "a router"
-- especially those used in building connections and circuits --
should return a node_t, not a routerinfo_t or a routerstatus_t.
A node_t should hold all the *mutable* flags about a node. This
patch moves the is_foo flags from routerinfo_t into node_t. The
flags in routerstatus_t remain, but they get set from the consensus
and should not change.
Some other highlights of this patch are:
* Looking up routerinfo and routerstatus by nickname is now
unified and based on the "look up a node by nickname" function.
This tries to look only at the values from current consensus,
and not get confused by the routerinfo_t->is_named flag, which
could get set for other weird reasons. This changes the
behavior of how authorities (when acting as clients) deal with
nodes that have been listed by nickname.
* I tried not to artificially increase the size of the diff here
by moving functions around. As a result, some functions that
now operate on nodes are now in the wrong file -- they should
get moved to nodelist.c once this refactoring settles down.
This moving should happen as part of a patch that moves
functions AND NOTHING ELSE.
* Some old code is now left around inside #if 0/1 blocks, and
should get removed once I've verified that I don't want it
sitting around to see how we used to do things.
There are still some unimplemented functions: these are flagged
with "UNIMPLEMENTED_NODELIST()." I'll work on filling in the
implementation here, piece by piece.
I wish this patch could have been smaller, but there did not seem to
be any piece of it that was independent from the rest. Moving flags
forces many functions that once returned routerinfo_t * to return
node_t *, which forces their friends to change, and so on.
* MINIUPNPC rather than the generic UPNP
* Nick suggested a better abstraction model for tor-fw-helper
* Fix autoconf to build with either natpmp or miniupnpc
* Add AM_PROG_CC_C_O to fix automake complaint
* update spec to address nickm's concern
* refactor nat-pmp to match upnp state
* we prefer tor_snprintf to snprintf
* link properlty for tor_snprintf
* rename test_commandline_options to log_commandline_options
* cast this uint as an int
* detect possible FD_SETSIZE errors
* make note about future enhancements for natpmp
* add upnp enhancement note
* ChangeLog entry
* doxygen and check-spaces cleanup
* create tor-fw-helper.1.txt
This is needed for IOCP, since telling the IOCP backend about all
your CPUs is a good idea. It'll also come in handy with asn's
multithreaded crypto stuff, and for people who run servers without
reading the manual.
The autoreconf tool deals much better with detecting which tools to
use on your particular platform, handling cases where your
install-sh script gets stable, and lots of other little tricky
issues.
We still fall back to autoconf&&automake&&etc in the case where
"`which autoreconf 2>/dev/null`" says something we can't run.

Karsten says: "the ChangeLog should say it's a bugfix on
0.2.2.15-alpha, because enabling stats while Tor is running (which
leads to this false log message) is only possible since then."
Sounds right enough to me. Tell me if I'm wrong.
When the CellStatistics option is off, we don't store cell insertion
times. Doing so would also not be very smart, because there seem to
still be some performance issues with this type of statistics. Nothing
harmful happens when we don't have insertion times, so we don't need to
alarm the user.
