Back in #1240, r1eo linked to information about how this could happen
with older Linux kernels in response to nmap. Bugs #4545 and #4547
are about how our approach to trying to deal with this condition was
broken and stupid. Thanks to wanoskarnet for reminding us about #1240.
This is a fix for the abovementioned bugs, and is a bugfix on
0.1.0.3-rc.
Using strncpy meant that if listenaddress were ever >=
sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path), we would fail to nul-terminate
sun_path. This isn't a big deal: we never read sun_path, and the
kernel is smart enough to reject the sockaddr_un if it isn't
nul-terminated. Nonetheless, it's a dumb failure mode. Instead, we
should reject addresses that don't fit in sockaddr_un.sun_path.
Coverity found this; it's CID 428. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.
Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.

options->DirPort is 0 in the unit tests, so
router_get_advertised_dir_port() would return 0 so we wouldn't pick a
dirport. This isn't what we want for the unit tests. Fixes bug
introduced in 95ac3ea594.
The previous attempt was incomplete: it told us not to publish a
descriptor, but didn't stop us from generating one. Now we treat an
absent OR port the same as not knowing our address. (This means
that when we _do_ get an OR port, we need to mark the descriptor
dirty.)
More attempt to fix bug3216.
On win64, sockets are of type UINT_PTR; on win32 they're u_int;
elsewhere they're int. The correct windows way to check a socket for
being set is to compare it with INVALID_SOCKET; elsewhere you see if
it is negative.
On Libevent 2, all callbacks take sockets as evutil_socket_t; we've
been passing them int.
This patch should fix compilation and correctness when built for
64-bit windows. Fixes bug 3270.
Bumped the char maximum to 512 for HTTPProxyAuthenticator &
HTTPSProxyAuthenticator. Now stripping all '\n' after base64
encoding in alloc_http_authenticator.
Fixed a trivial conflict where this and the ControlSocketGroupWritable
code both added different functions to the same part of connection.c.

When running a system-wide instance of Tor on Unix-like systems, having
a ControlSocket is a quite handy mechanism to access Tor control
channel. But it would be easier if access to the Unix domain socket can
be granted by making control users members of the group running the Tor
process.
This change introduces a UnixSocketsGroupWritable option, which will
create Unix domain sockets (and thus ControlSocket) 'g+rw'. This allows
ControlSocket to offer same access control measures than
ControlPort+CookieAuthFileGroupReadable.
See <http://bugs.debian.org/552556> for more details.
Otherwise, it will just immediately close any port declared with "auto"
on the grounds that it wasn't configured. Now, it will allow "auto" to
match any port.
This means FWIW if you configure a socks port with SocksPort 9999
and then transition to SocksPort auto, the original socksport will
not get closed and reopened. I'm considering this a feature.
HTTPS error code 403 is now reported as:
"The https proxy refused to allow connection".
Used a switch statement for additional error codes to be explained
in the future.
See bug 2850 for rationale: it appears that on some busy exits, the OS
decides that every single port is now unusable because they have been
all used too recently.
The first was genuinely impossible, I think: it could only happen
when the amount we read differed from the amount we wanted to read
by more than INT_MAX.
The second is just very unlikely: it would give incorrect results to
the controller if you somehow wrote or read more than 4GB on one
edge conn in one second. That one is a bugfix on 0.1.2.8-beta.
Right now, we only consider sending stream-level SENDME cells when we
have completely flushed a connection_edge's outbuf, or when it sends
us a DATA cell. Neither of these is ideal for throughput.
This patch changes the behavior so we now call
connection_edge_consider_sending_sendme when we flush _some_ data from
an edge outbuf.
Fix for bug 2756; bugfix on svn r152.
We detect and reject said attempts if there is no chosen exit node or
circuit: connecting to a private addr via a randomly chosen exit node
will usually fail (if all exits reject private addresses), is always
ill-defined (you're not asking for any particular host or service),
and usually an error (you've configured all requests to go over Tor
when you really wanted to configure all _remote_ requests to go over
Tor).
This can also help detect forwarding loop requests.
Found as part of bug2279.
We had a spelling discrepancy between the manpage and the source code
for some option. Resolve these in favor of the manpage, because it
makes more sense (for example, HTTP should be capitalized).
