It seems that some versions of clang that would prefer the
-Wswitch-enum compiler flag to warn about switch statements with
missing enum values, even if those switch statements have a
default.
Fixes bug 8598; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
It was previously --Test in the help output and --test-commandline in
the getopt call. The man page already had --test.
(Originally by David, who resolved the tie in favor of "--test"; I
chose --test-commandline" instead so that nothing that depended
on it could break. -Nick)
If we get a write error on a SOCKS connection, we can't send a
SOCKS reply, now can we?
This bug has been here since 36baf7219, where we added the "hey, I'm
closing an AP connection but I haven't finished the socks
handshake!" message. It's bug 8427.
Also, don't call the exit node 'reject *' unless our decision to pick
that node was based on a non-summarized version of that node's exit
policy.
rransom and arma came up with the ideas for this fix.
Fix for 7582; the summary-related part is a bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha.
When we're hibernating, the main reqason we can't bootstrap will

Fixes part of 7302.
This bug affects hosts where time_t is unsigned, which AFAICT does
not include anything we currently support. (It _does_ include
OpenVMS, about a month of BSD4.2's history[1], and a lot of the 1970s.)
There are probably more bugs when time_t is unsigned. This one was
[1] http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/1998/06/04/0000.html
Inspired by #8042.
As far as I know, OpenVMS is the only place you're likely to hit an
unsigned time_t these days, and Tor's VMS support
is... lacking. Still worth letting people know about it, though.
This should have been 2 bytes all along, since version numbers can
be 16 bits long. This isn't a live bug, since the call to
is_or_protocol_version_known in channel_tls_process_versions_cell
will reject any version number not in the range 1..4. Still, let's
fix this before we accidentally start supporting version 256.
Reported pseudonymously. Fixes bug 8062; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha --
specifically, on commit 6fcda529, where during development I
increased the width of a version to 16 bits without changing the
type of link_proto.
Our ++ should have been += 2. This means that we'd accept version
numbers even when they started at an odd position.
This bug should be harmless in practice for so long as every version
number we allow begins with a 0 byte, but if we ever have a version
number starting with 1, 2, 3, or 4, there will be trouble here.
Fix for bug 8059, reported pseudonymously. Bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha

increased the width of a version to 16 bits without changing the
loop step.
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!
Now the manpages no longer refer to tsocks or tsocks.conf, and we no
longer have or ship a tor-tsocks.conf. The only remaining instances
of "tsocks" in our repository are old ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes
entries, and the torify script saying that it doesn't support tsocks.
Fixes bug 8290.
In a number of places, we decrement timestamp_dirty by
MaxCircuitDirtiness in order to mark a stream as "unusable for any
new connections.
This pattern sucks for a few reasons:
* It is nonobvious.
* It is error-prone: decrementing 0 can be a bad choice indeed.
* It really wants to have a function.
It can also introduce bugs if the system time jumps backwards, or if
MaxCircuitDirtiness is increased.
So in this patch, I add an unusable_for_new_conns flag to
origin_circuit_t, make it get checked everywhere it should (I looked
for things that tested timestamp_dirty), and add a new function to
frob it.
For now, the new function does still frob timestamp_dirty (after
checking for underflow and whatnot), in case I missed any cases that
should be checking unusable_for_new_conns.
Fixes bug 6174. We first used this pattern in 516ef41ac1,
which I think was in 0.0.2pre26 (but it could have been 0.0.2pre27).
Without this patch, there's no way to know what went wrong when we
fail to parse a torrc line entirely (that is, we can't turn it into
a K,V pair.) This patch introduces a new function that yields an
error message on failure, so we can at least tell the user what to
look for in their nonfunctional torrc.
(Actually, it's the same function as before with a new name:
parse_config_line_from_str is now a wrapper macro that the unit
tests use.)
Fixes bug 7950; fix on 0.2.0.16-alpha (58de695f90) which first
introduced the possibility of a torrc value not parsing correctly.
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.
There are two ways to use sysconf to ask about the number of
CPUs. When we're on a VM, we would sometimes get it wrong by asking
for the number of total CPUs (say, 64) when we should have been asking
for the number of CPUs online (say, 1 or 2).
Fix for bug 8002.
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.

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.
Now as we move into a future where most bridges can handle microdescs
we will generally find ourselves using them, rather than holding back
just because one of our bridges doesn't use them.
When we first implemented TLS, we assumed in conneciton_handle_write
that a TOR_TLS_WANT_WRITE from flush_buf_tls meant that nothing had
been written. But when we moved our buffers to a ring buffer
implementation back in 0.1.0.5-rc (!), we broke that invariant: it's
possible that some bytes have been written but nothing.
That's bad. It means that if we do a sequence of TLS writes that ends
with a WANTWRITE, we don't notice that we flushed any bytes, and we
don't (I think) decrement buckets.
Fixes bug 7708; bugfix on 0.1.0.5-rc
Instead of hardcoding the minimum fraction of possible paths to 0.6, we
take it from the user, and failing that from the consensus, and
failing that we fall back to 0.6.
Previously we did this based on the fraction of descriptors we
had. But really, we should be going based on what fraction of paths
we're able to build based on weighted bandwidth, since otherwise a
directory guard or two could make us behave quite oddly.
Implementation for feature 5956
This is allowed by the C statndard, which permits you to represent
doubles any way you like, but in practice we have some code that
assumes that memset() clears doubles in structs. Noticed as part of
7802 review; see 8081 for more info.
You can get it back by saying ./autogen.sh -v
Patch from onizuka; for bug 4664.
This isn't a complete fix, since starting from a clean checkout still
reports that it's installing stuff
This is ticket 7706, reported by "bugcatcher." The rationale here
is that if somebody says 'ExcludeNodes {tv}', then they probably
don't just want to block definitely Tuvaluan nodes: they also want
to block nodes that have unknown country, since for all they know
such nodes are also in Tuvalu.
This behavior is controlled by a new GeoIPExcludeUnknown autobool
option. With the default (auto) setting, we exclude ?? and A1 if
any country is excluded. If the option is 1, we add ?? and A1
unconditionally; if the option is 0, we never add them.
(Right now our geoip file doesn't actually seem to include A1: I'm
including it here in case it comes back.)
This feature only takes effect if you have a GeoIP file. Otherwise
you'd be excluding every node.
This won't actually break them any worse than they were broken before:
it just removes a set of warnings that nobody was actually seeing, I
hope.
Closes 6826
The implementation is pretty straightforward: parse_extended_hostname() is
modified to drop any leading components from an address like
'foo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.onion'.
In 6fbdf635 we added a couple of statements like:
if (test) {
...
};
The extraneous semicolons there get flagged as worrisome empty
statements by the cparser library, so let's fix them.
Patch by Christian Grothoff; fixes bug 7115.
Otherwise, it's possible to create streams or circuits with these
bogus IDs, leading to orphaned circuits or streams, or to ones that
can cause bandwidth DOS problems.
Fixes bug 7889; bugfix on all released Tors.
The right way to set "MaxOnionsPending" was to adjust it until the
processing delay was appropriate. So instead, let's measure how long
it takes to process onionskins (sampling them once we have a big
number), and then limit the queue based on its expected time to
finish.
This change is extra-necessary for ntor, since there is no longer a
reasonable way to set MaxOnionsPending without knowing what mix of
onionskins you'll get.
This patch also reserves 1/3 of the onionskin spots for ntor
handshakes, on the theory that TAP handshakes shouldn't be allowed to
starve their speedier cousins. We can change this later if need be.
Resolves 7291.
Our old warn_nonlocal_client_ports() would give a bogus warning for
every nonlocal port every time it parsed any ports at all. So if it
parsed a nonlocal socksport, it would complain that it had a nonlocal
socksport...and then turn around and complain about the nonlocal
socksport again, calling it a nonlocal transport or nonlocal dnsport,
if it had any of those.
Fixes bug 7836; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
mr-4 reports on #7799 that he was seeing it several times per second,
which suggests that things had gone very wrong.
This isn't a real fix, but it should make Tor usable till we can
figure out the real issue.
This implements the server-side of proposal 198 by detecting when
clients lack the magic list of ciphersuites that indicates that
they're lying faking some ciphers they don't really have. When
clients lack this list, we can choose any cipher that we'd actually
like. The newly allowed ciphersuites are, currently, "All ECDHE-RSA
ciphers that openssl supports, except for ECDHE-RSA-RC4".
The code to detect the cipher list relies on on (ab)use of
SSL_set_session_secret_cb.
This is good enough to give P_success >= 999,999,999/1,000,000,000 so
long as the address space is less than 97.95 full. It'd be ridiculous
for that to happen for IPv6, and usome reasonable assumptions, it
would also be pretty silly for IPv4.
This replaces the old FallbackConsensus notion, and should provide a
way -- assuming we pick reasonable nodes! -- to give clients
suggestions of placs to go to get their first consensus.
This is the simplest possible workaround: make it safe to call
circuit_cell_queue_clear() on a non-attached circuit, and make it
safe-but-a-LD_BUG-warning to call update_circuit_on_cmux() on a
non-attached circuit.
LocalWords: unstage src Untracked
Apparently some compilers like to eliminate memset() operations on
data that's about to go out-of-scope. I've gone with the safest
possible replacement, which might be a bit slow. I don't think this
is critical path in any way that will affect performance, but if it
is, we can work on that in 0.2.4.
Fixes bug 7352.
Instead of warning about low ports that are advertised, we should have

That's not where I'd want to put a $, but apparently the other
foo/id/<identity> things allow it, as does an arguably valid

Fix for a piece of bug 7059.
This is part of what's needed to build without warnings on mingw64:
it was warning about the cast from void* to long that happened in
the places we were using test_{n,}eq on pointers.
The alternative here would have been to broaden tt_int_op to accept
a long long or an intptr_t, but that's less correct (since pointers
aren't integers), and would hurt the portability of tinytest a
little.
Fixes part of 7260.
We still want to build on compilers w/o c99 support, such as
(notoriously, shamefully) MSVC.
So I'm commenting out the designated initializers in
circuitmux_ewma.c. The alternative would have been to use some kind
of macros to use designated initializers only when they're
supported, but that's error-prone, and can lead to code having
different meanings under different compilers.

OpenSSL 1.0.0 added an implementation of TLS session tickets, a
"feature" that let session resumption occur without server-side state
by giving clients an encrypted "ticket" that the client could present
later to get the session going again with the same keys as before.
OpenSSL was giving the keys to decrypt these tickets the lifetime of
the SSL contexts, which would have been terrible for PFS if we had
long-lived SSL contexts. Fortunately, we don't. Still, it's pretty
bad. We should also drop these, since our use of the extension stands
out with our non-use of session cacheing.

Our convention is that we use the changelog to note release-to-release
changes; we don't need to add changelog entries for bugs that didn't
appear in any released version of Tor. (By convention, we sometimes
say "this bug does not appear in any released version of Tor" or words
to that effect in the commit message so that when Roger goes to make
sure the changelog is right, he knows not to expect a changelog entry
for that part.)
There are as many divergent implementations of sys/queue.h as there
are operating systems shipping it, it would seem. They have some code
in common, but have drifted apart, and have added other stuff named
differently. So I'm taking a relatively sane one, and hoping for the
best.
I'm taking OpenBSD's in particular because of the lack of external
dependencies, the presence of a CIRCLEQ (we could use one of those in
places), and the liberal licensing terms.
I'm naming the file tor_queue.h, since historically we've run into
trouble having headers with the same names as system headers (log.h,
for example.)
The rationale for treating these files differently is that we should
be checking upstream for changes as applicable, and merging changes
upstream as warranted.
Conflicts:

The conflict was trivial, since no line of code actually changed in
both branches: There was a fmt_addr() that turned into fmt_addrport()

master.
They're typically redundant with the "Your computer is too slow"

(In retrospect, we should have fixed this bug back in ticket 1042.)
We used to never return an IPv6 address unless ClientUseIPv6 was
set. We should allow clients running with bridges use IPv6 OR ports
even without setting ClientUseIPv6. Configuring an IPv6 address in a
Bridge line should imply that.
Fixes th second part of #6757.
Look at the address family of the preferred OR port rather than the
node.ipv6_preferred flag since the logic has changed with new
ClientUseIPv6 config option.

Right-shifting negative values has implementation-defined behavior.
On all the platforms we work on right now, the behavior is to
sign-extend the input. That isn't what we wanted in
auth_type_val = (descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] >> 4) + 1;
Fix for 6861; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha; reported pseudonymously.
The broken behavior didn't actually hurt anything, I think, since the
only way to get sign-extension to happen would be to have the top bit
of descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] set, which would make the value of
descriptor_cookie_tmp[16] >> 4 somewhere between 0b11111111 and
0b11111000 (that is, between -1 and -8). So auth_type_val would be
between -7 and 0. And the immediate next line does:
if (auth_type_val < 1 || auth_type_val > 2) {
So the incorrectly computed auth_type_val would be rejected as
invalid, just as a correctly computed auth_type_val would be.
Still, this stuff shouldn't sit around the codebase.

Fix for bug 6831.
Our flag voting code needs to handle unrecognized flags, so it stores
them in a 64-bit bitfield. But we never actually checked for too many

097 hasn't seen a new version since 2007; we can drop support too.
This lets us remove our built-in sha256 implementation, and some
checks for old bugs.
This reverts commit 4aff97cfc7.
We don't actually want to be changing the torrc.sample on stable or
near-stable stuff, since doing so makes pointless busywork for debian
users.
When I removed version_supports_begindir, I accidentally removed the
mechanism we had been using to make a directory cache self-test its
directory port. This caused bug 6815, which caused 6814 (both in
0.2.4.2-alpha).
To fix this bug, I'm replacing the "anonymized_connection" argument to
directory_initiate_command_* with an enumeration to say how indirectly
to connect to a directory server. (I don't want to reinstate the
"version_supports_begindir" argument as "begindir_ok" or anything --
these functions already take too many arguments.)
For safety, I made sure that passing 0 and 1 for 'indirection' gives
the same result as you would have gotten before -- just in case I
missed any 0s or 1s.
We already do this for libevent; let's do it for openssl too.
For now, I'm making it always a warn, since this has caused some
problems in the past. Later, we can see about making it less severe.
Add ClientUseIPv6 and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort configuration options.
Use "preferred OR port" for all entry nodes, not only for bridges.
Mark bridges with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is

Mark relays with "prefer IPv6 OR port" if an IPv6 address is found in
descriptor and ClientPreferIPv6ORPort is set.
Filter "preferred OR port" through the ClientUseIPv6 config option. We
might want to move this test to where actual connection is being set
up once we have a fall back mechanism in place.
Have only non-servers pick an IPv6 address for the first hop: We
don't want relays to connect over IPv6 yet. (IPv6 has never been used
for second or third hops.)

Define new new consensus method 14 adding "a" lines to vote and
consensus documents.
From proposal 186:
As with other data in the vote derived from the descriptor, the

most authorities who voted for the descriptor digest that will be
used for the router.
This patch implements this.
Allow one-hop directory fetching circuits the full "circuit build timeout"
period, rather than just half of it, before failing them and marking
the relay down. This fix should help reduce cases where clients declare
relays (or worse, bridges) unreachable because the TLS handshake takes
a few seconds to complete.
Fixes bug 6743 (one piece of bug 3443); bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha, where
we changed the timeout from a static 30 seconds.
We've had over two months to fix them, and didn't. Now we need
0.2.3.x stable. Yes, it would be cool to get this working in

_does_ work in 0.2.3.x. We can do a real fix in 0.2.4.

a bridge when looking for it.
Move node_get_*_orport to nodelist.c.
Fix a cut'n'paste error in header of nodelist.h.
Add node_assert_ok().
Add router_get_all_orports(). It's duplicating code from
node_get_all_orports(). Worth fixing at the cost of complicating the
API slightly?
Failure to do this would lead to double-free cases and similar,
especially when the exit's DNS was broken. See bug 6472 for full

Anonymous patch from "cypherpunks" on trac.
Long ago, before we had cell queues, it was necessary to maybe call
connection_handle_write() from connectino_write_to_buf_impl() on OR
connections, so that we wouldn't get into a loop of reading infinite
amounts of data and queueing it all on an outbuf before bothering to
write any data.
If that doesn't sounds like what our code does now, you're right:
right now, we won't stick more than OR_CONN_HIGHWATER bytes of cells
on an outbuf, and we won't suck more than CELL_QUEUE_HIGHWATER_SIZE
cells off any edge connection. So, there's no more call for that
code.
Removing this code will simplify our data flow, and that should be
something we can all get behind.
The warning fixes are:
- Only define issetugid if it's missing.
- Explicitly ignore the return value of writev.
- Explicitly cast the retval of readlink() to int.
The 64-bit problems are related to just storing a size_t in an int. Not cool! Use a size_t instead.

Extend cells aren't allowed to have a stream_id, but we were only
blocking them when they had a stream_id that corresponded to a
connection. As far as I can tell, this change is harmless: it will
make some kinds of broken clients not work any more, but afaik nobody
actually make a client that was broken in that way.
Found while hunting for other places where we made the same mistake
as in 6271.
Bugfix on d7f50337c1 back from May 2003, which introduced
telescoping circuit construction into 0.0.2pre8.
Thanks to the changes we started making with SocksPort and friends
in 0.2.3.3-alpha, any of our code that did "if (options->Sockport)"
became wrong, since "SocksPort 0" would make that test true whereas
using the default SocksPort value would make it false. (We didn't
actually do "if (options->SockPort)" but we did have tests for
TransPort. When we moved DirPort, ORPort, and ControlPort over to
the same system in 0.2.3.9-alpha, the problem got worse, since our
code is littered with checks for DirPort and ORPort as booleans.
This code renames the current linelist-based FooPort options to
FooPort_lines, and adds new FooPort_set options which get set at
parse-and-validate time on the or_options_t. FooPort_set is true
iff we will actually try to open a listener of the given type. (I
renamed the FooPort options rather than leave them alone so that
every previous user of a FooPort would need to get inspected, and so
that any new code that forgetfully uses FooPort will need fail to
compile.)
Fix for bug 6507.
The old approach, because of its "tmp >= rand_bw &&
!i_has_been_chosen" check, would run through the second part of the
loop slightly slower than the first part. Now, we remove
i_has_been_chosen, and instead set rand_bw = UINT64_MAX, so that
every instance of the loop will do exactly the same amount of work
regardless of the initial value of rand_bw.
Fix for bug 6538.
This should make our preferred solution to #6538 easier to
implement, avoid a bunch of potential nastiness with excessive
int-vs-double math, and generally make the code there a little less
scary.
"But wait!" you say. "Is it really safe to do this? Won't the
results come out differently?"
Yes, but not much. We now round every weighted bandwidth to the
nearest byte before computing on it. This will make every node that
had a fractional part of its weighted bandwidth before either
slighty more likely or slightly less likely. Further, the rand_bw
value was only ever set with integer precision, so it can't
accurately sample routers with tiny fractional bandwidth values
anyway. Finally, doing repeated double-vs-uint64 comparisons is
just plain sad; it will involve an implicit cast to double, which is
never a fun thing.
I don't personally agree that this is likely to be easy to exploit,
and some initial experimention I've done suggests that cache-miss
times are just plain too fast to get useful info out of when they're
mixed up with the rest of Tor's timing noise. Nevertheless, I'm
leaving Robert's initial changelog entry in the git history so that he
can be the voice of reason if I'm wrong. :)
