I have no idea whether b0rken clients will DoS the network if the v2
authorities all turn this on or not. It's experimental. See #6783 for
a description of how to test it more or less safely, and please be
careful!
Instead of capping whenever a router has fewer than 3 measurements,
we cap whenever a router has fewer than 3 measurements *AND* there
are at least 3 authorities publishing measured bandwidths.
We also generate bandwidth lines with a new "Unmeasured=1" flag,
meaning that we didn't have enough observations for a node to use
measured bandwidth values in the authority's input, whether we capped
it or not.
Stop marking every relay as having been down for one hour every
time we restart a directory authority. These artificial downtimes
were messing with our Stable and Guard flag calculations.
Fixes bug 8218 (introduced by the fix for 1035). Bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
Relays used to check every 10 to 60 seconds, as an accidental side effect
of calling directory_fetches_from_authorities() when considering doing
a directory fetch. The fix for bug 1992 removes that side effect. At the
same time, bridge relays never had the side effect, leading to confused
bridge operators who tried crazy tricks to get their bridges to notice
IP address changes (see ticket 1913).
The new behavior is to reinstate an every-60-seconds check for both
public relays and bridge relays, now that the side effect is gone.
For example, we were doing a resolve every time we think about doing a
directory fetch. Now we reuse the cached answer in some cases.
Fixes bugs 1992 (bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc) and 2410 (bugfix on
0.1.2.2-alpha).
When we compute the estimated microseconds we need to handle our
pending onionskins, we could (in principle) overflow a uint32_t if
we ever had 4 million pending onionskins before we had any data
about how onionskins take. Nevertheless, let's compute it properly.
Fixes bug 8210; bugfix on 0.2.4.10. Found by coverity; this is CID
980651.
The refactoring in commit 471ab34032 wasn't complete enough: we
were checking the auth_len variable, but never actually setting it,
so it would never seem that authentication had been provided.
This commit also removes a bunch of unused variables from
rend_service_introduce, whose unusedness we hadn't noticed because
we were wiping them at the end of the function.
Fix for bug 8207; bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
It returns the method by which we decided our public IP address
(explicitly configured, resolved from explicit hostname, guessed from
interfaces, learned by gethostname).
Now we can provide more helpful log messages when a relay guesses its IP
address incorrectly (e.g. due to unexpected lines in /etc/hosts). Resolves
ticket 2267.
While we're at it, stop sending a stray "(null)" in some cases for the
server status "EXTERNAL_ADDRESS" controller event. Resolves bug 8200.
Right now, all our curve25519 backends ignore the high bit of the
public key. But possibly, others could treat the high bit of the
public key as encoding out-of-bounds values, or as something to be
preserved. This could be used to distinguish clients with different
backends, at the cost of killing a circuit.
As a workaround, let's just clear the high bit of each public key
indiscriminately before we use it. Fix for bug 8121, reported by
rransom. Bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
The fix is to move the two functions to format/parse base64
curve25519 public keys into a new "crypto_format.c" file. I could
have put them in crypto.c, but that's a big file worth splitting
anyway.
Fixes bug 8153; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha where I did the fix for 7869.
