If the OpenSSL team accepts my patch to add an
SSL_get_client_ciphers function, this patch will make Tor use it
when available, thereby working better with openssl 1.1.
We previously used this function instead of SSL_set_cipher_list() to
set up a stack of client SSL_CIPHERs for these reasons:
A) In order to force a particular order of the results.
B) In order to be able to include dummy entries for ciphers that
this build of openssl did not support, so we could impersonate
Firefox harder.
But we no longer do B, since we merged proposal 198 and stopped
lying about what ciphers we know.
And A was actually pointless, since I had misread the implementation
of SSL_set_cipher_list(). It _does_ do some internal sorting, but
that is pre-sorting on the master list of ciphers, not sorting on
the user's preferred order.
The key here is to never touch ssl->cipher_list directly, but only
via SSL_get_ciphers(). But it's not so simple.
See, if there is no specialized cipher_list on the SSL object,
SSL_get_ciphers returns the cipher_list on the SSL_CTX. But we sure
don't want to modify that one! So we need to use
SSL_set_cipher_list first to make sure that we really have a cipher
list on the SSL object.
This field was only needed to work with the now-long-gone (I hope,
except for some horrible apples) openssl 0.9.8l; if your headers say
you have openssl 1.1, you won't even need it.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 must be built with "enable-deprecated", and compiled with
`OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED` for this to work, so instead, use the newer
routine as appropriate.
When calling pthread_attr_setdetachstate, we were using 1 as the
argument. But the pthreads documentation says that you have to say
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACH, which on Solaris is apparently 0x40. Calling
pthread_attr_setdetachstate with 1 crashes on Solaris with FLTBOUNDS.
(Because we're so late in the release cycle, I made the code define
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED if it doesn't exist, so we aren't likely to
break any other platforms.)
This bug was introduced when we made threading mandatory in
0.2.6.1-alpha; previously, we had force-disabled threading on
Solaris. See #9495 discussion.
__libc_message() tries to open /dev/tty with O_RDWR, but the sandbox
catches that and calls it a crash. Instead, I'm making the sandbox
setenv LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_, so that glibc uses stderr instead.
Fix for 14759, bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha
They have been off-by-default since 0.2.5 and nobody has complained. :)
Also remove the buf_shrink() function, which hasn't done anything
since we first stopped using contiguous memory to store buffers.
Closes ticket 14848.
This both fixes the problem, and ensures that forgetting to update
domain_list in the future will trigger the bug codepath instead of
a NULL pointer deref.
