We used to try to terminate the managed proxy process even if it
failed while launching. We introduce a new managed proxy state, to
represent a *broken* and *not launched* proxy.
Right now we can take the digests only of an RSA key, and only expect to
take the digests of an RSA key. The old tor_cert_get_id_digests() would
return a good set of digests for an RSA key, and an all-zero one for a
non-RSA key. This behavior is too error-prone: it carries the risk that
we will someday check two non-RSA keys for equality and conclude that
they must be equal because they both have the same (zero) "digest".
Instead, let's have tor_cert_get_id_digests() return NULL for keys we
can't handle, and make its callers explicitly test for NULL.
Our keys and x.509 certs are proliferating here. Previously we had:
An ID cert (using the main ID key), self-signed
A link cert (using a shorter-term link key), signed by the ID key
Once proposal 176 and 179 are done, we will also have:
Optionally, a presentation cert (using the link key),
signed by whomever.
An authentication cert (using a shorter-term ID key), signed by
the ID key.
These new keys are managed as part of the tls context infrastructure,
since you want to rotate them under exactly the same circumstances,
and since they need X509 certificates.
Also, define all commands > 128 as variable-length when using
v3 or later link protocol. Running into a var cell with an
unrecognized type is no longer a bug.
Without this patch, Tor wasn't sure whether it would be hibernating or
not, so it postponed opening listeners until after the privs had been
dropped. This doesn't work so well for low ports. Bug was introduced in
the fix for bug 2003. Fixes bug 4217, reported by Zax and katmagic.
Thanks!
One of its callers assumes a non-zero result indicates a permanent failure
(i.e. the current attempt to connect to this HS either has failed or is
doomed). The other caller only requires that this function's result
never equal -2.
