Back in 175b2678, we allowed servers to recognize clients who are
telling them the truth about their ciphersuites, and select the best
cipher from on that list. This implemented the server side of proposal
198.
In bugs 11492, 11498, and 11499, cypherpunks found a bunch of mistakes
and omissions and typos in the UNRESTRICTED_SERVER_CIPHER_LIST we had.
In #11513, I found a couple more.
Rather than try to hand-edit this list, I wrote a short python script
to generate our ciphersuite preferences from the openssl headers.
The new rules are:
* Require forward secrecy.
* Require RSA (since our servers only configure RSA keys)
* Require AES or 3DES. (This means, reject RC4, DES, SEED, CAMELLIA,
and NULL.)
* No export ciphersuites.
Then:
* Prefer AES to 3DES.
* If both suites have the same cipher, prefer ECDHE to DHE.
* If both suites have the same DHE group type, prefer GCM to CBC.
* If both suites have the same cipher mode, prefer SHA384 to SHA256
to SHA1.
* If both suites have the same digest, prefer AES256 to AES128.
This involves some duplicate code between backtrace.c and sandbox.c,
but I don't see a way around it: calling more functions would mean
adding more steps to our call stack, and running clean_backtrace()
against the wrong point on the stack.
This commit does nothing other than pull the changes/* files into
ChangeLog, sorted by declared type. I haven't comined any entries or
vetted anything yet.
My first implementation was broken, since it returned "whether there
is one bridge" rather than "how many bridges."
Also, the implementation for the n_options_out feature in
choose_random_entry_impl was completely broken due to a missing *.
When we successfully create a usable circuit after it previously
timed out for a certain amount of time, we should make sure that
our public IP address hasn't changed and update our descriptor.
The major changes are to re-order some ciphers, to drop the ECDH suites
(note: *not* ECDHE: ECDHE is still there), to kill off some made-up
stuff (like the SSL_RSA_FIPS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA suite), to drop
some of the DSS suites... *and* to enable the ECDHE+GCM ciphersuites.
This change is autogenerated by get_mozilla_ciphers.py from
Firefox 28 and OpenSSL 1.0.1g.
Resolves ticket 11438.
In C, it's a bad idea to do this:
char *cp = array;
char *end = array + array_len;
/* .... */
if (cp + 3 >= end) { /* out of bounds */ }
because cp+3 might be more than one off the end of the array, and
you are only allowed to construct pointers to the array elements,
and to an element one past the end. Instead you have to say
if (cp - array + 3 >= array_len) { /* ... */ }
or something like that.
This patch fixes two of these: one in process_versions_cell
introduced in 0.2.0.10-alpha, and one in process_certs_cell
introduced in 0.2.3.6-alpha. These are both tracked under bug
10363. "bobnomnom" found and reported both. See also 10313.
In our code, this is likely to be a problem as we used it only if we
get a nasty allocator that makes allocations end close to (void*)-1.
But it's best not to have to worry about such things at all, so
let's just fix all of these we can find.
According to reports, most programs degrade somewhat gracefully on
getting no answer for an MX or a CERT for www.example.com, but many
flip out completely on a NOTIMPL error.
Also, treat a QTYPE_ALL query as just asking for an A record.
The real fix here is to implement proposal 219 or something like it.
Fixes bug 10268; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
Based on a patch from "epoch".
Found by testing with chutney. The old behavior was "fail an
assertion", which obviously isn't optimal.
Bugfix on 8b9a2cb68b290e550695124d7ef0511225b451d5; bug not in any
released version.
