I've copied the entries from changes/, labeled the ones that also
appeared in 0.2.4.22, sorted them lightly with a python script
(added to maint), and combined sections with the same name.
I didn't combine sections without a description (e.g. "Minor
bugfixes:"), since we'll probably add a description to those.
Without this fix, when running with bridges, we would try fetching
directory info far too early, and have up to a 60 second delay if we
started with bridge descriptors available.
Fixes bug 11965. Fix on 0.2.3.6-alpha, arma thinks.
The old cache had problems:
* It needed to be manually preloaded. (It didn't remember any
address you didn't tell it to remember)
* It was AF_INET only.
* It looked at its cache even if the sandbox wasn't turned on.
* It couldn't remember errors.
* It had some memory management problems. (You can't use memcpy
to copy an addrinfo safely; it has pointers in.)
This patch fixes those issues, and moves to a hash table.
Fixes bug 11970; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
These are needed under some circumstances if we are running with
expensive-hardening and sandbox at the same time.
fixes 11477, bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha (where we introduced
expensive-hardening)
None of the things we might exec() can possibly run under the
sanbox, so rather than crash later, we have to refuse to accept the
configuration nice and early.
The longer-term solution is to have an exec() helper, but wow is
that risky.
fixes 12043; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha
When we converted the horrible set of options that previously
controlled "use ORPort or DirPort? Anonymously or Non-anonymouly?" to
a single 'indirection' argument, we missed
directory_post_to_dirservers.
The problematic code was introduced in 5cbeb6080, which went into
0.2.4.3-alpha. This is a fix for bug 11469.
When running with User set, we frequently try to look up our
information in the user database (e.g., /etc/passwd). The seccomp2
sandbox setup doesn't let us open /etc/passwd, and probably
shouldn't.
To fix this, we have a pair of wrappers for getpwnam and getpwuid.
When a real call to getpwnam or getpwuid fails, they fall back to a
cached value, if the uid/gid matches.
(Granting access to /etc/passwd isn't possible with the way we
handle opening files through the sandbox. It's not desirable either.)
