This fixes a bug where we'd fetch different replicas of the same
descriptor for a down hidden service over and over, until we got lucky
and fetched the same replica twice in a row.
Fixes bug 14219; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
(Patch from Roger; commit message and changes file by Nick.)
We've started to hit the limit here. We introduced the limit in
0.1.2.5-alpha. This fixes bug 14261, but we should have a smarter way
to not actually do the behavior this permits. See #14267 for a ticket
about fixing that.
The trick here is to apply mapaddress first, and only then apply
automapping. Otherwise, the automap checks don't get done.
Fix for bug 7555; bugfix on all versions of Tor supporting both
MapAddress and AutoMap.
Check for a missing option value in parse_virtual_addr_network
before asserting on the NULL in tor_addr_parse_mask_ports.
This avoids crashing on torrc lines like Vi[rtualAddrNetworkIPv[4|6]]
when no value follows the option.
Bugfix on 0.2.3 (de4cc126cb on 24 November 2012), fixes#14142.
Drop the MIN_REND_INITIAL_POST_DELAY on a testing network to 5 seconds,
but keep the default at 30 seconds.
Reduces the hidden service bootstrap to 25 seconds from around 45 seconds.
Change the default src/test/test-network.sh delay to 25 seconds.
Closes ticket 13401.
TestingDirAuthVoteHSDir ensures that authorities vote the HSDir flag
for the listed relays regardless of uptime or ORPort connectivity.
Respects the value of VoteOnHidServDirectoriesV2.
Partial fix for bug 14067.
Check that tor generates new keys, and overwrites the empty key files.
Test that tor generates new keys when keys are missing (existing
behaviour).
Test that tor does not overwrite key files that already contain data
(existing behaviour).
Tests fixes to bug 13111.
Fixes bug 11454, where we would keep around a superseded descriptor
if the descriptor replacing it wasn't at least a week later. Bugfix
on 0.2.1.8-alpha.
Fixes bug 11457, where a certificate with a publication time in the
future could make us discard existing (and subsequent!) certificates
with correct publication times. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Also, avoid crashing when we attempt to double-remove an edge
connection from the DNS resolver: just log a bug warning instead.
Fixes bug 14129. Bugfix on 0d20fee2fb, which was in 0.0.7rc1.
jowr found the bug. cypherpunks wrote the fix. I added the log
message and removed the assert.
"Maybe this time should be reduced, since we are considering
guard-related changes as quite important? It would be a pity to
settle on a guard node, then close the Tor client fast and lose that
information."
Closes 12485.
If we decide not to use a new guard because we want to retry older
guards, only close the locally-originating circuits passing through
that guard. Previously we would close all the circuits.
Fixes bug 9819; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha. Reported by "skruffy".
Have clients and authorities both have new behavior, since the
fix for bug 11243 has gone in. But make clients still accept
accept old bogus HSDir descriptors, to avoid fingerprinting trickery.
Fixes bug 9286.
In systemd 209, they deprecated -lsystemd-daemon in favor of
-lsystemd. So we'd better actually look at the pkg-config output,
or we'll get warnings on newer distributions.
For some as-yet-unknown-to-me reason, setting CFLAGS so early makes
it so -O2 -g doesn't get added to it later. So, adding it myself
later. Perhaps a better fix here can be found.
Fixes 14072; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. Based on a patch from h.venev
We had a check to block these, but the patch we merged as a1c1fc72
broke this check by making them absolute on demand every time we
opened them. That's not so great though. Instead, we should make them
absolute on startup, and not let them change after that.
Fixes bug 13397; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
This happened because we changed AutomapHostsSuffixes to replace "."
with "", since a suffix of "" means "match everything." But our
option handling code for CSV options likes to remove empty entries
when it re-parses stuff.
Instead, let "." remain ".", and treat it specially when we're
checking for a match.
Fixes bug 12509; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
This allows hidden services to disable the anti-scanning feature
introduced in 0.2.6.2-alpha. With this option not set, a connection
to an unlisted port closes the circuit. With this option set, only
a RELAY_DONE cell is sent.
Closes ticket #14084.
Stop assuming that private addresses are local when checking
reachability in a TestingTorNetwork. Instead, when testing, assume
all OR connections are remote. (This is necessary due to many test
scenarios running all nodes on localhost.)
This assists in bootstrapping a testing Tor network.
Fixes bugs 13718 & 13924.
If the consensus does not contain Exits, Tor will only build internal
circuits. In this case, relevant statuses will contain the word "internal"
as indicated in the Tor control-spec.txt. When bootstrap completes,
Tor will be ready to handle an application requesting an internal
circuit to hidden services at ".onion" addresses.
If a future consensus contains Exits, exit circuits may become available.
Tor already notifies the user at "notice" level if they have no exits in
the consensus, and can therefor only build internal paths.
Consequential change from #13718.
Tor can now build circuits from a consensus with no exits.
But if it tries to build exit circuits, they fail and flood the logs.
The circuit types in the Exit Circuits list below will only be
built if the current consensus has exits. If it doesn't,
only the Internal Circuits will be built. (This can change
with each new consensus.)
Fixes bug #13814, causes fewer path failures due to #13817.
Exit Circuits:
Predicted Exit Circuits
User Traffic Circuits
Most AP Streams
Circuits Marked Exit
Build Timeout Circuits (with exits)
Internal Circuits:
Hidden Service Server Circuits
Hidden Service Client Circuits
Hidden Service AP Streams
Hidden Service Intro Point Streams
Circuits Marked Internal
Build Timeout Circuits (with no exits)
Other Circuits?
If the consensus has no exits (typical of a bootstrapping
test network), allow tor to build circuits once enough
descriptors have been downloaded.
When there are no exits, we always have "enough"
exit descriptors. (We treat the proportion of available
exit descriptors as 100%.)
This assists in bootstrapping a testing Tor network.
Fixes bug 13718.
Makes bug 13161's TestingDirAuthVoteExit non-essential.
(But still useful for speeding up a bootstrap.)
Add router_have_consensus_path() which reports whether
the consensus has exit paths, internal paths, or whether it
just doesn't know.
Used by #13718 and #13814.
count_usable_descriptors now uses named exit_only values:
USABLE_DESCRIPTOR_ALL
USABLE_DESCRIPTOR_EXIT_ONLY
Add debug logging code for descriptor counts.
This (hopefully) resolves nickm's request in bug 13718 to improve
argument readability in nodelist.c.
choose_good_entry_server() now excludes current entry
guards and their families, unless we're in a test network,
and excluding guards would exclude all nodes.
This typically occurs in incredibly small tor networks,
and those using TestingAuthVoteGuard *
This is an incomplete fix, but is no worse than the previous
behaviour, and only applies to minimal, testing tor networks
(so it's no less secure).
Discovered as part of #13718.
Make hidden service port scanning harder by sending back REASON_DONE which
does not disclose that it was in fact an exit policy issue. After that, kill
the circuit immediately to avoid more bad requests on it.
This means that everytime an hidden service exit policy does match, the user
(malicious or not) needs to build a new circuit.
Fixes#13667.

When V3AuthVotingInterval is low, decrease the delay on the

When closing parallel introduction points, the given reason (timeout)
was actually changed to "no reason" thus when the circuit purpose was
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCE_ACK_WAIT, we were reporting an introduction
point failure and flagging it "unreachable". After three times, that
intro point gets removed from the rend cache object.
In the case of CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_INTRODUCING, the intro point was
flagged has "timed out" and thus not used until the connection to the HS
is closed where that flag gets reset.
This commit adds an internal circuit reason called
END_CIRC_REASON_IP_NOW_REDUNDANT which tells the closing circuit
mechanism to not report any intro point failure.
This has been observed while opening hundreds of connections to an HS on
different circuit for each connection. This fix makes this use case to
work like a charm.

This is meant to prevent memory corruption bugs from doing

Authorities are no longer voting on Named, so specifying nodes by

We were only using it when smartlist_choose_node_by_bandwidth_weights
failed. But that function could only fail in the presence of
buggy/ancient authorities or in the absence of a consensus. Either
way, it's better to use sensible defaults and a nicer algorithm.
Now, if a router ever changes its microdescriptor, but the new
microdescriptor SHA256 hash has the same 160-bit prefix as the old
one, we treat it as a new microdescriptor when deciding whether to
copy status information.
(This function also is used to compare SHA1 digests of router
descriptors, but don't worry: the descriptor_digest field either holds
a SHA256 hash, or a SHA1 hash padded with 0 bytes.)
Silence clang warnings under --enable-expensive-hardening, including:
+ implicit truncation of 64 bit values to 32 bit;
+ const char assignment to self;

+ additional parentheses around equality tests. (gcc uses these to
silence assignment, so clang warns when they're present in an
equality test. But we need to use extra parentheses in macros to
isolate them from other code).

By now, support in the network is widespread and it's time to require
more modern crypto on all Tor instances, whether they're clients or

Resolves warning from 9635.
One pain point in evolving the Tor design and implementing has been
adding code that makes clients reject directory documents that they
previously would have accepted, if those descriptors actually exist.
When this happened, the clients would get the document, reject it,
and then decide to try downloading it again, ad infinitum. This
problem becomes particularly obnoxious with authorities, since if
some authorities accept a descriptor that others don't, the ones
that don't accept it would go crazy trying to re-fetch it over and
over. (See for example ticket #9286.)
This patch tries to solve this problem by tracking, if a descriptor
isn't parseable, what its digest was, and whether it is invalid
because of some flaw that applies to the portion containing the
digest. (This excludes RSA signature problems: RSA signatures
aren't included in the digest. This means that a directory
authority can still put another directory authority into a loop by
mentioning a descriptor, and then serving that descriptor with an
invalid RSA signatures. But that would also make the misbehaving
directory authority get DoSed by the server it's attacking, so it's
not much of an issue.)
We already have a mechanism to mark something undownloadable with
downloadstatus_mark_impossible(); we use that here for
microdescriptors, extrainfos, and router descriptors.
Unit tests to follow in another patch.

If (GNU) Make 3.81 is running processes in parallel using -j2 (or more),
it waits until all descendent processes have exited before it returns to
the shell.
When a command like "make -j2 test-network" is run, this means that
test-network.sh apparently hangs until it either make is forcibly
terminated, or all the chutney-launched tor processes have exited.
A workaround is to use make without -j, or make -j1 if there is an
existing alias to "make -jn" in the shell.
We resolve this bug in tor by using "chutney stop" after "chutney verify"
in test-network.sh.
Cases that now send errors:
* Malformed IP address (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* CONNECT/RESOLVE request with IP, when SafeSocks is set
(SOCKS5_NOT_ALLOWED)
* RESOLVE_PTR request with FQDN (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)
* Malformed FQDN (SOCKS5_GENERAL_ERROR)
* Unknown address type (SOCKS5_ADDRESS_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED)

The alternative here is to call crypto_global_init() from tor-resolve,
but let's avoid linking openssl into tor-resolve for as long as we
can.
When a spawned process forks, fails, then exits very quickly, (this
typically occurs when exec fails), there is a race condition between the
SIGCHLD handler updating the process_handle's fields, and checking the
process status in those fields. The update can occur before or after the
spawn tests check the process status.
We check whether the process is running or not running (rather than just
checking if it is running) to avoid this issue.
In circuit_build_times_calculate_timeout() in circuitstats.c, avoid dividing
by zero in the pareto calculations.
If either the alpha or p parameters are 0, we would divide by zero, yielding
an infinite result; which would be clamped to INT32_MAX anyway. So rather
than dividing by zero, we just skip the offending calculation(s), and
use INT32_MAX for the result.
Division by zero traps under clang -fsanitize=undefined-trap -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error.

Stop modifying the value of our DirReqStatistics torrc option just

Fixes bug 4244; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous point
when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send the wrong
address, which would still work some of the time because they also
sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden
service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay
that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that
connection. Now connections to hidden services should be more robust
and faster. Also, this bug meant that clients were leaking to the hidden
service whether they were on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare)
system, which for some users might have reduced their anonymity.
Fixes bug 13151; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
Tor Browser includes several ClientTransportPlugin lines in its

This is in preparation for a big patch series removing the entire Naming

Otherwise, when we're out of input *and* finalizing, we might report
TOR_ZLIB_OK erroneously and not finalize the buffer.
(I don't believe this can happen in practice, with our code today:
write_to_buf_zlib ensures that we are never trying to write into a
completely empty buffer, and zlib says "Z_OK" if you give it even
one byte to write into.)

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.

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.

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.
