It appears that when OpenSSL negotiates a 1.1 or 1.2 connection, and it
decides to renegotiate, the client will send a record with version "1.0"
rather than with the current TLS version. This would cause the
connection to fail whenever both sides had OpenSSL 1.0.1, and the v2 Tor
handshake was in use.
As a workaround, disable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2. When a later version of
OpenSSL is released, we can make this conditional on running a fixed
version of OpenSSL.
Alternatively, we could disable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 only on the client
side. But doing it this way for now means that we not only fix TLS with
patched clients; we also fix TLS when the server has this patch and the
client does not. That could be important to keep the network running
well.
Fixes bug 6033.
(When the correct answer is given in terms of seconds since the
epoch, it's hard to be sure that it really is the right answer
just by reading the code.)
* It seems parse_http_time wasn't parsing correctly any date with commas (RFCs
1123 and 850). Fix that.
* It seems parse_http_time was reporting the wrong month (they start at 0, not
1). Fix that.
* Add some tests for parse_http_time, covering all three formats.
The underlying strtoX functions handle overflow by saturating and
setting errno to ERANGE. If the min/max arguments to the
tor_parse_* functions are equal to the minimum/maximum of the
underlying type, then with the old approach, we wouldn't treat a
too-large value as genuinely broken.
Found this while looking at bug 5786; bugfix on 19da1f36 (in Tor
0.0.9), which introduced these functions.
This fixes a side-channel attack on the (fortunately unused!)
BridgePassword option for bridge authorities. Fix for bug 5543;
bugfix on 0.2.0.14-alpha.
This mitigates an attack proposed by wanoskarnet, in which all of a
client's bridges collude to restrict the exit nodes that the client
knows about. Fixes bug 5343.
in Makefile.am, we used it without quoting it, causing build failure if
your openssl/sed/sha1sum happened to live in a directory with a space in
it (very common on windows)
This reverts commit 55e8cae815.
The conversation from irc:
> weasel: i had intended to leave torrc.sample.in alone in maint-0.2.2,
since i don't want to make all your stable users have to deal with
a torrc change. but nickm changed it. is it in fact the case that a
change in that file means a change in the deb?
<weasel> it means you'll prompt every single user who ever touched
their torrc
<weasel> and they will be asked if they like your new version better
than what they have right now
<weasel> so it's not great
Instead I changed the website to redirect requests for the tor-manual
URL listed in maint-0.2.2's torrc.sample.in so the link will still work.
