The parent of "/foo" is "/"; and "/" is its own parent.
This would cause Tor to fail if you tried to have a PF_UNIX control
socket in the root directory. That would be a stupid thing to do
for other reasons, but there's no reason to fail like _this_.
Bug found by Esteban Manchado Velázquez. Fix for bug 5089; bugfix on
Tor 0.2.2.26-beta. Unit test included.
The underlying strtoX functions handle overflow by saturating and
setting errno to ERANGE. If the min/max arguments to the
tor_parse_* functions are equal to the minimum/maximum of the
underlying type, then with the old approach, we wouldn't treat a
too-large value as genuinely broken.
Found this while looking at bug 5786; bugfix on 19da1f36 (in Tor
0.0.9), which introduced these functions.
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 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 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.
We used to do this as a workaround for older Tors, but now it's never
the correct thing to do (especially since anything that didn't
understand RELAY_EARLY is now deprecated hard).
This patch should make us reject every Tor that was vulnerable to
CVE-2011-0427. Additionally, it makes us reject every Tor that couldn't
handle RELAY_EARLY cells, which helps with proposal 110 (#4339).
