torrc.minimal is now the one that should change as infrequently as
possible. To schedule an change to go into it eventually, make your
change to torrc.minimal.in-sample.
torrc.sample is now the volatile one: we can change it to our hearts'
content.
Closes ticket #11144
This implements a feature from bug 13000. Instead of starting a bwauth
run with this wrong idea about their bw, relays should do the self-test
and then get measured.
When a tor relay starts up and has no historical information about its
bandwidth capability, it uploads a descriptor with a bw estimate of 0.
It then starts its bw selftest, but has to wait 20 minutes to upload the
next descriptor due to the MAX_BANDWIDTH_CHANGE_FREQ delay. This change
should mean that on average, relays start seeing meaningful traffic a
little quicker, since they will have a higher chance to appear in the
consensus with a nonzero bw.
Patch by Roger, changes file and comment by Sebastian.
Most of these are in somewhat non-obvious code where it is probably
a good idea to initialize variables and add extra assertions anyway.
Closes 13036. Patches from "teor".
It's now a protocol-warn, since there's nothing relay operators can
do about a client that sends them a malformed create cell.
Resolves bug 12996; bugfix on 0.0.6rc1.
Any error when acquiring the CryptoAPI context should get treated as
bad. Also, this one can't happen for the arguments we're giving.
Fixes bug 10816; bugfix on 0.0.2pre26.
The fix for bug 4647 accidentally removed our hack from bug 586 that
rewrote HashedControlPassword to __HashedControlSessionPassword when
it appears on the commandline (which allowed the user to set her own
HashedControlPassword in the torrc file while the controller generates
a fresh session password for each run).
Fixes bug 12948; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
This way, we don't get locking failures when we hit an assertion in
the unit tests. Also, we might find out about unit test bugs from
folks who can't do gdb.
Two bugs here:
1) We didn't add EXTEND2/EXTENDED2 to relay_command_to_string().
2) relay_command_to_string() didn't log the value of unrecognized
commands.
Both fixed here.
When we merged the cookieauthfile creation logic in 33c3e60a37, we
accidentally took out this feature. Fixes bug 12864, bugfix on
0.2.5.1-alpha.
Also adds an ExtORPortCookieAuthFileGroupReadable, since there's no
reason not to.
We added some AS_VAR_IF-based checks to detect whether we have
managed to compile (but not link) with stack-protector. On autoconf
before 2.63, we don't have AS_VAR_IF, so we just have to let the
user get a compile error rather than a helpful "find libssp" error.
Fixes bug 12693; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha (commit 21ac292820)
When Tor starts with DisabledNetwork set, it would correctly
conclude that it shouldn't try making circuits, but it would
mistakenly cache this conclusion and continue believing it even
when DisableNetwork is set to 0. Fixes the bug introduced by the
fix for bug 11200; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
Our current systemd unit uses "Type = simple", so systemd does not expect tor to
fork. If the user has "RunAsDaemon 1" in their torrc, then things won't work as
expected. This is e.g. the case on Debian (and derivatives), since there we pass
"--defaults-torrc /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc" (that contains
"RunAsDaemon 1") by default.
The only solution I could find is to explicitly pass "--RunAsDaemon 0" when
starting tor from the systemd unit file, which this commit does.
Those used to be normal to receive on hidden service circuits due to bug
1038, but the buggy Tor versions are long gone from the network so we
can afford to resume watching for them. Resolves the rest of bug 1038;
bugfix on 0.2.1.19.
This function is supposed to construct a list of all the ciphers in
the "v2 link protocol cipher list" that are supported by Tor's
openssl. It does this by invoking ssl23_get_cipher_by_char on each
two-byte ciphersuite ID to see which ones give a match. But when
ssl23_get_cipher_by_char cannot find a match for a two-byte SSL3/TLS
ciphersuite ID, it checks to see whether it has a match for a
three-byte SSL2 ciphersuite ID. This was causing a read off the end
of the 'cipherid' array.
This was probably harmless in practice, but we shouldn't be having
any uninitialized reads.
(Using ssl23_get_cipher_by_char in this way is a kludge, but then
again the entire existence of the v2 link protocol is kind of a
kludge. Once Tor 0.2.2 clients are all gone, we can drop this code
entirely.)
Found by starlight. Fix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Fixes bug 12227.
Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the
network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus
weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the
current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500.
This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards
down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected
performance for most users.
Implements ticket 12690.
Found because LibreSSL has OPENSSL_NO_COMP always-on, but this
conflicts with the way that _we_ turn off compression. Patch from
dhill, who attributes it to "OpenBSD". Fixes bug 12602; bugfix on
0.2.1.1-alpha, which introduced this turn-compression-off code.
- Don't try to rm -rf the directory before we start: somebody might
have set it to ~, which would be quite sad.
- Always quote the directory name
- Use 'make reset-gcov' before running tests.
- Use 'make check', not ./src/test/test
Otherwise, it always seems as though our Exclude* options have
changed, since we're comparing modified to unmodified values.
Patch from qwerty1. Fixes bug 9801. Bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha, where
GeoIPExcludeUnknown was introduced.
We should only assign a relay the HSDir flag if it is currently
considered valid. We can accomplish this by only considering active
relays, and as a consequence of this we also exclude relays that are
currently hibernating. Fixes#12573
Long ago we supported systems where there was no support for
threads, or where the threading library was broken. We shouldn't
have do that any more: on every OS that matters, threads exist, and
the OS supports running threads across multiple CPUs.
This resolves tickets 9495 and 12439. It's a prerequisite to making
our workqueue code work better, since sensible workqueue
implementations don't split across multiple processes.
I don't know whether we missed these or misclassified them when we
first made the "DIRECTORY AUTHORITY SERVER OPTIONS" section, but they
really belong there.
Check for consistency between the queued destroy cells and the marked
circuit IDs. Check for consistency in the count of queued destroy
cells in several ways. Check to see whether any of the marked circuit
IDs have somehow been marked longer than the channel has existed.
And add a comment about why conditions that would cause us to drop a
cell should get checked before actions that would cause us to send a
destroy cell.
Spotted by 'cypherpunks'.
And note that these issues have been present since 0.0.8pre1 (commit
0da256ef), where we added a "shutting down" state, and started
responding to all create cells with DESTROY when shutting down.
Conflicts:
src/or/channel.c
src/or/circuitlist.c
src/or/connection.c
Conflicts involved removal of next_circ_id and addition of
unusable-circid tracking.
The point of the "idle timeout" for connections is to kill the
connection a while after it has no more circuits. But using "last
added a non-padding cell" as a proxy for that is wrong, since if the
last circuit is closed from the other side of the connection, we
will not have sent anything on that connection since well before the
last circuit closed.
This is part of fixing 6799.
When applied to 0.2.5, it is also a fix for 12023.
Instead of killing an or_connection_t that has had no circuits for
the last 3 minutes, give every or_connection_t a randomized timeout,
so that an observer can't so easily infer from the connection close
time the time at which its last circuit closed.
Also, increase the base timeout for canonical connections from 3
minutes to 15 minutes.
Fix for ticket 6799.
When we find a stranded one-hop circuit, log whether it is dirty,
log information about any streams on it, and log information about
connections they might be linked to.

This code mis-handled the case where a circuit got the same circuit
ID in both directions. I found three instances of it in the
codebase, by grepping for [pn]_circ_id.
Because of the issue in command_process_relay_cell(), this would
have made roughly one circuit in a million completely nonfunctional.
Fixes bug 12195.
On some profiles of Andrea's from #11332, I found that a great deal
of time can still be attributed to functions called from
update_router_have_minimum_dir_info(). This is making our
digestmap, tor_memeq, and siphash functions take a much bigger
portion of runtime than they really should.
If we're calling update_router_have_minimum_dir_info() too often,
that's because we're calling router_dir_info_changed() too often.
And it looks like most of the callers of router_dir_info_changed()
are coming as tail-calls from router_set_status() as invoked by
channel_do_open_actions().
But we don't need to call router_dir_info_changed() so much! (I'm
not quite sure we need to call it from here at all, but...) Surely
we don't need to call it from router_set_status when the router's
status has not actually changed.
This patch makes us call router_dir_info_changed() from
router_set_status only when we are changing the router's status.
Fix for bug 12170. This is leftover from our fix back in 273ee3e81
in 0.1.2.1-alpha, where we started caching the value of
update_router_have_minimum_dir_info().
tor_memeq has started to show up on profiles, and this is one of the
most frequent callers of that function, appearing as it does on every
cell handled for entry or exit.
59f9097d5c introduced tor_memneq here;
it went into Tor 0.2.1.31. Fixes part of 12169.
I've copied the entries from changes/, labeled the ones that also
appeared in 0.2.4.22, sorted them lightly with a python script
(added to maint), and combined sections with the same name.
I didn't combine sections without a description (e.g. "Minor
bugfixes:"), since we'll probably add a description to those.
Without this fix, when running with bridges, we would try fetching
directory info far too early, and have up to a 60 second delay if we
started with bridge descriptors available.
Fixes bug 11965. Fix on 0.2.3.6-alpha, arma thinks.
The old cache had problems:
* It needed to be manually preloaded. (It didn't remember any
address you didn't tell it to remember)
* It was AF_INET only.
* It looked at its cache even if the sandbox wasn't turned on.
* It couldn't remember errors.
* It had some memory management problems. (You can't use memcpy
to copy an addrinfo safely; it has pointers in.)
This patch fixes those issues, and moves to a hash table.
Fixes bug 11970; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
These are needed under some circumstances if we are running with
expensive-hardening and sandbox at the same time.
fixes 11477, bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha (where we introduced
expensive-hardening)
None of the things we might exec() can possibly run under the
sanbox, so rather than crash later, we have to refuse to accept the
configuration nice and early.
The longer-term solution is to have an exec() helper, but wow is
that risky.
fixes 12043; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha
When we converted the horrible set of options that previously
controlled "use ORPort or DirPort? Anonymously or Non-anonymouly?" to
a single 'indirection' argument, we missed
directory_post_to_dirservers.
The problematic code was introduced in 5cbeb6080, which went into
0.2.4.3-alpha. This is a fix for bug 11469.
When running with User set, we frequently try to look up our
information in the user database (e.g., /etc/passwd). The seccomp2
sandbox setup doesn't let us open /etc/passwd, and probably
shouldn't.
To fix this, we have a pair of wrappers for getpwnam and getpwuid.
When a real call to getpwnam or getpwuid fails, they fall back to a
cached value, if the uid/gid matches.
(Granting access to /etc/passwd isn't possible with the way we
handle opening files through the sandbox. It's not desirable either.)
On OpenBSD 5.4, time_t is a 32-bit integer. These instances contain
implicit treatment of long and time_t as comparable types, so explicitly
cast to time_t.
Apparently, there exist cross-compiling environments for arm7 where
you can compile a 64x64->128 multiply, but not link it.
Fixes bug 11729; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Patch from 'conradev'.
Clients should always believe that v3 directory authorities serve
extra-info documents, regardless of whether their server descriptor
contains a "caches-extra-info" line or not.
Fixes part of #11683.
on #9686, gmorehose reports that the 500 MB lower limit is too high
for raspberry pi users.
This is a backport of 647248729f to 0.2.4.
Note that in 0.2.4, the option is called MaxMemInCellQueues.
When clearing a list of tokens, it's important to do token_clear()
on them first, or else any keys they contain will leak. This didn't
leak memory on any of the successful microdescriptor parsing paths,
but it does leak on some failing paths when the failure happens
during tokenization.
Fixes bug 11618; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
The python scripts invoked by 'make check' didn't work on python3
before. That was a problem on systems where 'python' is python3.
Fixes bug 11608; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
If we can't detect the physical memory, the new default is 8 GB on
64-bit architectures, and 1 GB on 32-bit architectures.
If we *can* detect the physical memory, the new default is
CLAMP(256 MB, phys_mem * 0.75, MAX_DFLT)
where MAX_DFLT is 8 GB on 64-bit architectures and 2 GB on 32-bit
architectures.
You can still override the default by hand. The logic here is simply
trying to choose a lower default value on systems with less than 12 GB
of physical RAM.
Previously we said "Sandbox is not implemented on this platform" on
Linux boxes without libseccomp. Now we say that you need to build
Tor built with libseccomp. Fixes bug 11543; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
Fixes a possible root cause of 11553 by only making 64 attempts at
most to pick a circuitID. Previously, we would test every possible
circuit ID until we found one or ran out.
This algorithm succeeds probabilistically. As the comment says:
This potentially causes us to give up early if our circuit ID
space is nearly full. If we have N circuit IDs in use, then we
will reject a new circuit with probability (N / max_range) ^
MAX_CIRCID_ATTEMPTS. This means that in practice, a few percent
of our circuit ID capacity will go unused.
The alternative here, though, is to do a linear search over the
whole circuit ID space every time we extend a circuit, which is
not so great either.
This makes new vs old clients distinguishable, so we should try to
batch it with other patches that do that, like 11438.
The server cipher list is (thanks to #11513) chosen systematically to
put the best choices for Tor first. The client cipher list is chosen
to resemble a browser. So let's set SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE
to have the servers pick according to their own preference order.
