Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.
(Code by lunar; changelog by nickm)
* Improved function documentation.
* Renamed find_bridge_transport_by_addrport() to
find_transport_by_bridge_addrport().
* Sanitized log severities we use.
* Ran check-spaces.
UseBridges 1 now means "connect only to bridges; if you know no
bridges, don't make connections." UseBridges auto means "Use bridges
if they are known, and we have no EntryNodes set, and we aren't a
server." UseBridges 0 means "don't use bridges."
The patch for 3228 made us try to run init_keys() before we had loaded
our state file, resulting in an assert inside init_keys. We had moved
it too early in the function.
Now it's later in the function, but still above the accounting calls.
Previously we did this nearer to the end (in the old_options &&
transition_affects_workers() block). But other stuff cares about
keys being consistent with options... particularly anything which
tries to access a key, which can die in assert_identity_keys_ok().
Fixes bug 3228; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha.
We used to regenerate our descriptor whenever we'd get a sighup. This
was caused by a bug in options_transition_affects_workers() that would
return true even if the options were exactly the same. Down the call
path we'd call init_keys(), which made us make a new descriptor which
the authorities would reject, and the node would subsequently fall out
of the consensus.
This patch fixes only the first part of this bug:
options_transition_affects_workers() behaves correctly now. The second
part still wants a fix.
tor_process_monitor_new can't currently return NULL, but if it ever can,
we want that to be an explicitly fatal error, without relying on the fact
that monitor_owning_controller_process's chain of caller will exit if it
fails.
Bumped the char maximum to 512 for HTTPProxyAuthenticator &
HTTPSProxyAuthenticator. Now stripping all '\n' after base64
encoding in alloc_http_authenticator.
When running a system-wide instance of Tor on Unix-like systems, having
a ControlSocket is a quite handy mechanism to access Tor control
channel. But it would be easier if access to the Unix domain socket can
be granted by making control users members of the group running the Tor
process.
This change introduces a UnixSocketsGroupWritable option, which will
create Unix domain sockets (and thus ControlSocket) 'g+rw'. This allows
ControlSocket to offer same access control measures than
ControlPort+CookieAuthFileGroupReadable.
See <http://bugs.debian.org/552556> for more details.
This code changes it so that we don't remove bridges immediately when
we start re-parsing our configuration. Instead, we mark them all, and
remove all the marked ones after re-parsing our bridge lines. As we
add a bridge, we see if it's already in the list. If so, we just
unmark it.
This new behavior will lose the property we used to have that bridges
were in bridge_list in the same order in which they appeared in the
torrc. I took a quick look through the code, and I'm pretty sure we
didn't actually depend on that anywhere.
This is for bug 3019; it's a fix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Previously, if they changed in torrc during a SIGHUP, all was well,
since we would just clear all transient entries from the addrmap
thanks to bug 1345. But if you changed them from the controller, Tor
would leave old mappings in place.
The VirtualAddrNetwork bug has been here since 0.1.1.19-rc; the
AutomapHosts* bug has been here since 0.2.0.1-alpha.
This bug couldn't happen when TrackExitHosts changed in torrc, since
the SIGHUP to reload the torrc would clear out all the transient
addressmap entries before. But if you used SETCONF to change
TrackExitHosts, old entries would be left alone: that's a bug, and so
this is a bugfix on Tor 0.1.0.1-rc.
We'll eventually want to do more work here to make sure that the ports
are stable over multiple invocations. Otherwise, turning your node on
and off will get you a new DirPort/ORPort needlessly.
The new behavior is to try to rename the old file if there is one there
that we can't read. In all likelihood, that will fail too, but at least
we tried, and at least it won't crash.
To turn this on, set UseMicrodescriptors to "1" (or "auto" if you
want it on-if-you're-a-client). It should go auto-by-default once
0.2.3.1-alpha is released.
Because of our node logic, directory caches will never use
microdescriptors when they have the right routerinfo available.
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 were mostly releated to the routerinfo_t->node_t conversion.
IOW, if we were using TrackExitHosts, and we added an excluded node or
removed a node from exitnodes, we wouldn't actually remove the mapping
that points us at the new node.
Also, note with an XXX022 comment a place that I think we are looking
at the wrong string.
The routerset_equal function explicitly handles NULL inputs, so
there's no need to check inputs for NULL before calling it.
Also fix a bug in routerset_equal where a non-NULL routerset with no
entries didn't get counted as equal to a NULL routerset. This was
untriggerable, I think, but potentially annoying down the road.
- 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.
Partial backport of daa0326aaa .
Resolves bug 2402. Bugfix on 0.2.1.15 (for the part where we switched to
git) and on 0.2.1.30 (for the part where we dumped micro-revisions.)
In private networks, the defaults for some options are changed. This
means that in options_validate(), where we're testing that the defaults
are what we think they are, we fail. Use a workaround by setting a
hidden configuration option _UsingTestingTorNetwork when we have altered
the configuration this way, so that options_validate() can do the right
thing.
Fixes bug 2250, bugfix on 0.2.1.2-alpha (the version introducing private
network options).
Sets:
* Documentation
* Logging domain
* Configuration option
* Scheduled event
* Makefile
It also creates status.c and the log_heartbeat() function.
All code was written by Sebastian Hahn. Commit message was
written by me (George Kadianakis).
