When we wrote the directory request statistics code in August 2009, we
thought that these statistics were only relevant for bridges, and that
bridges should not report them. That's why we added a switch to discard
relevant observations made by bridges. This code was first released in
0.2.2.1-alpha.
In May 2012 we learned that we didn't fully disable directory request
statistics on bridges. Bridges did report directory request statistics,
but these statistics contained empty dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs
lines. But the remaining dirreq-* lines have always been non-empty. (We
didn't notice for almost three years, because directory-request statistics
were disabled by default until 0.2.3.1-alpha, and all statistics have been
removed from bridge descriptors before publishing them on the metrics
website.)
Proposal 201, created in May 2012, suggests to add a new line called
bridge-v3-reqs that is similar to dirreq-v3-reqs, but that is published
only by bridges. This proposal is still open as of December 2013.
Since October 2012 we're using dirreq-v3-resp (not -reqs) lines in
combination with bridge-ips lines to estimate bridge user numbers; see
task 8462. This estimation method has superseded the older approach that
was only based on bridge-ips lines in November 2013. Using dirreq-v3-resp
and bridge-ips lines is a workaround. The cleaner approach would be to
use dirreq-v3-reqs instead.
This commit makes bridges report the same directory request statistics as
relays, including dirreq-v3-ips and dirreq-v3-reqs lines. It makes
proposal 201 obsolete.
In 0.2.3.8-alpha we attempted to "completely disable stats if we aren't
running as a relay", but instead disabled them only if we aren't running
as a server.
This commit leaves DirReqStatistics enabled on both relays and bridges,
and disables (Cell,Entry,ExitPort)Statistics on bridges.
This fixes bug 10402, where the rdrand engine would use the rdrand
instruction, not as an additional entropy source, but as a replacement
for the entire userspace PRNG. That's obviously stupid: even if you
don't think that RDRAND is a likely security risk, the right response
to an alleged new alleged entropy source is never to throw away all
previously used entropy sources.
Thanks to coderman and rl1987 for diagnosing and tracking this down.
The 'body' field of a microdesc_t holds a strdup()'d value if the
microdesc's saved_location field is SAVED_IN_JOURNAL or
SAVED_NOWHERE, and holds a pointer to the middle of an mmap if the
microdesc is SAVED_IN_CACHE. But we weren't setting that field
until a while after we parsed the microdescriptor, which left an
interval where microdesc_free() would try to free() the middle of
the mmap().
This patch also includes a regression test.
This is a fix for #10409; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
The old behavior was that NULL matched only bridges without known
identities; the correct behavior is that NULL should match all
bridges (assuming that their addr:port matches).
We were checking whether a 8-bit length field had overflowed a
503-byte buffer. Unless somebody has found a way to store "504" in a
single byte, it seems unlikely.
Fix for 10313 and 9980. Based on a pach by Jared L Wong. First found
by David Fifield with STACK.
This flag prevents the creation of a console window popup on Windows. We
need it for pluggable transport executables--otherwise you get blank
console windows when you launch the 3.x browser bundle with transports
enabled.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684863.aspx#CREATE_NO_WINDOW
The browser bundles that used Vidalia used to set this flag when
launching tor itself; it was apparently inherited by the pluggable
transports launched by tor. In the 3.x bundles, tor is launched by some
JavaScript code, which doesn't have the ability to set CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
tor itself is now being compiled with the -mwindows option, so that it
is a GUI application, not a console application, and doesn't show a
console window in any case. This workaround doesn't work for pluggable
transports, because they need to be able to write control messages to
stdout.

The previous commit from piet would have backed out some of proposal
198 and made servers built without the V2 handshake not use the
unrestricted cipher list from prop198.
Bug not in any released Tor.
It's conceivable (but probably impossible given our code) that lseek
could return -1 on an error; when that happens, we don't want off to
become -1.
Fixes CID 1035124.
This was a mistake in the merge commit 7a2b30fe16. It
would have made the CellStatistics code give completely bogus
results. Bug not in any released Tor.
We had accidentially grown two fake ones: one for backtrace.c, and one
for sandbox.c. Let's do this properly instead.
Now, when we configure logs, we keep track of fds that should get told
about bad stuff happening from signal handlers. There's another entry
point for these that avoids using non-signal-handler-safe functions.
On platforms with the backtrace/backtrace_symbols_fd interface, Tor
can now dump stack traces on assertion failure. By default, I log
them to DataDir/stack_dump and to stderr.
Conflicts:
src/or/or.h
src/or/relay.c
Conflicts were simple to resolve. More fixes were needed for
compilation, including: reinstating the tv_to_msec function, and renaming
*_conn_cells to *_chan_cells.
In proposal 157, we added a cross-certification element for
directory authority certificates. We implemented it in
0.2.1.9-alpha. All Tor directory authorities now generate it.
Here, as planned, make it required, so that we can finally close
proposal 157.
The biggest change in the code is in the unit test data, where some
old hardcoded certs that we made long ago have become no longer
valid and now need to be replaced.
If openssl was old, Tor would add a warning about its version in
between saying "no torrc found, using reasonable defaults" and
"configuration was valid".
Previously, when we ran low on memory, we'd close whichever circuits
had the most queued cells. Now, we close those that have the
*oldest* queued cells, on the theory that those are most responsible
for us running low on memory, and that those are the least likely to
actually drain on their own if we wait a little longer.
Based on analysis from a forthcoming paper by Jansen, Tschorsch,
Johnson, and Scheuermann. Fixes bug 9093.
Roger spotted this on tor-dev in his comments on proposal 221.
We etect DESTROY vs everything else, since arma likes network
timeout indicating failure but not overload indicating failure.
Don't cast uint64_t * to const uint64_t * explicitly. The cast is always
safe, so C does it for us. Doing the cast explitictly can hide bugs if
the input is secretly the wrong type.
Suggested by Nick.
I was using the assertIn() function on unit tests, which Python 2.7
introduced. But we'd like to be able to run our unit tests on Pythons
from older operating systems.
As a bridge authority, before we create our networkstatus document, we
should compute the thresholds needed for the various status flags
assigned to each bridge based on the status of all other bridges. We
then add these thresholds to the networkstatus document for easy access.
Fixes for #1117 and #9859.
Also fix a bug where if the guard we choose first doesn't answer, we
would try the second guard, but once we connected to the second guard
we would abandon it and retry the first one, slowing down bootstrapping.
The fix in both cases is to treat all our initially chosen guards as
acceptable to use.
Fixes bug 9946.
We had updated our "do we have enough microdescs to begin building
circuits?" logic most recently in 0.2.4.10-alpha (see bug 5956), but we
left the bootstrap status event logic at "how far through getting 1/4
of them are we?"
Fixes bug 9958; bugfix on 0.2.2.36, which is where they diverged (see
bug 5343).
This reverts the torrc.sample.in changes from commit
66a04a6ac3.
We're going to not make this change in 0.2.4, since changing
torrc.sample.in makes all the debian users do some pointless
busywork. see tor-dev discusion of 9 Oct 2013.
Explicitly include bridges, and note that we archive and publish all
descriptors.
(We are not yet publishing ContactInfo lines contained in bridge
descriptors, but maybe we'll want to do that soon, so let's err on the
side of caution here.)
Related to #9854.
According to the manpage, bridges use P256 for conformity and relays
use P224 for speed. But skruffy points out that we've gotten it
backwards in the code.
In this patch, we make the default P256 for everybody.
Fixes bug 9780; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
The old code had logic to use a shorter path length if we didn't
have enough nodes. But we don't support 2-node networks anwyay.
Fix for #9926. I'm not calling this a bugfix on any particular
version, since a 2-node network would fail to work for you for a lot
of other reasons too, and it's not clear to me when that began, or if
2-node networks would ever have worked.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, since you would need to have
errno be a large negative value in the unix pluggable-transport launcher
case. Still, best avoided.
Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
By calling circuit_n_chan_done() unconditionally on close, we were
closing pending connections that might not have been pending quite for
the connection we were closing. Fix for bug 9880.
Thanks to skruffy for finding this and explaining it patiently until
we understood.
To fix#6033, we disabled TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Eventually, OpenSSL fixed
the bug behind #6033.
I've considered alternate implementations that do more testing to see
if there's secretly an OpenSSL 1.0.1c or something that secretly has a
backport of the OpenSSL 1.0.1e fix, and decided against it on the
grounds of complexity.
this was causing directory authorities to send a time of 0 on all
connections they generated themselves, which means everybody reachability
test caused a time skew warning in the log for that relay.
(i didn't just revert, because the changes file has been modified by
other later commits.)
This isn't actually much of an issue, since only relays send
AUTHENTICATE cells, but while we're removing timestamps, we might as
well do this too.
Part of proposal 222. I didn't take the approach in the proposal of
using a time-based HMAC, since that was a bad-prng-mitigation hack
from SSL3, and in real life, if you don't have a good RNG, you're
hopeless as a Tor server.
For now, round down to the nearest 10 minutes. Later, eliminate entirely by
setting a consensus parameter.
(This rounding is safe because, in 0.2.2, where the timestamp mattered,
REND_REPLAY_TIME_INTERVAL was a nice generous 60 minutes.)
We were freeing these on exit, but when we added the dl_status_map
field to them in fddb814f, we forgot to arrange for it to be freed.
I've moved the cert_list_free() code into its own function, and added
an appropriate dsmap_free() call.
Fixes bug 9644; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
The problem was that the server_identity_key_is_set() function could
return true under conditions where we don't really have an identity
key -- specifically, where we used to have one, but we stopped being a
server.
This is a fix for 6979; bugfix on 0.2.2.18-alpha where we added that
assertion to get_server_identity_key().
tor_malloc returns void *; in C, it is not necessary to cast a
void* to another pointer type before assigning it.
tor_malloc fails with an error rather than returning NULL; it's not
necessary to check its output. (In one case, doing so annoyed Coverity.)
Whenever we had an non-option commandline arguments *and*
option-bearing commandline arguments on the commandline, we would save
only the latter across invocations of options_init_from_torrc, but
take their existence as license not to re-parse the former. Yuck!
Incidentally, this fix lets us throw away the backup_arg[gv] logic.
Fix for bug 9746; bugfix on d98dfb3746,
not in any released Tor. Found by Damian. Thanks, Damian!
This just goes to show: never cast a function pointer. Found while
testing new command line parse logic.
Bugfix on 1293835440, which implemented
6752: Not in any released tor.
Fall back to SOMAXCONN if INT_MAX doesn't work.
We'd like to do this because the actual maximum is overrideable by the
kernel, and the value in the header file might not be right at all.
All implementations I can find out about claim that this is supported.
Fix for 9716; bugfix on every Tor.
SCMP_CMP(a,b,c) leaves the fourth field of the structure undefined,
giving a missing-initializer error. All of our uses are
three-argument, so I'm overriding the default.
Now we explicitly check for overflow.
This approach seemed smarter than a cascade of "change int to unsigned
int and hope nothing breaks right before the release".
Nick, feel free to fix in a better way, maybe in master.
This would make us do testing circuits "even when cbt is disabled by
consensus, or when we're a directory authority, or when we've failed
to write cbt history to our state file lately." (Roger's words.)
This is a fix for 9671 and an improvement in our fix for 5049.
The original misbehavior was in 0.2.2.14-alpha; the incomplete
fix was in 0.2.3.17-beta.
