By now, support in the network is widespread and it's time to require
more modern crypto on all Tor instances, whether they're clients or
servers. By doing this early in 0.2.6, we can be sure that at some point
all clients will have reasonable support.
Uses libscrypt when found; otherwise, we don't have scrypt and we
only support openpgp rfc2440 s2k hashing, or pbkdf2.
Includes documentation and unit tests; coverage around 95%. Remaining
uncovered code is sanity-checks that shouldn't be reachable fwict.
c99 lets us do neat stuff like:
{
int j, k;
foo(&j, &k);
int z = j + k;
}
and also
struct point { int x; int y; };
struct point pt = { .x=5, .y=5 };
This commit makes the configure scripts check to make sure your
compiler implements them. It also disables our longstanding warning
about midblock declarations.
Closes ticket 13233.
torrc.minimal is now the one that should change as infrequently as
possible. To schedule an change to go into it eventually, make your
change to torrc.minimal.in-sample.
torrc.sample is now the volatile one: we can change it to our hearts'
content.
Closes ticket #11144
We added some AS_VAR_IF-based checks to detect whether we have
managed to compile (but not link) with stack-protector. On autoconf
before 2.63, we don't have AS_VAR_IF, so we just have to let the
user get a compile error rather than a helpful "find libssp" error.
Fixes bug 12693; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha (commit 21ac292820)
When building with bufferevents enabled, configure.ac throws an
error if "$ac_cv_header_event2_bufferevent_ssl_h" is not set to
"yes". However, nowhere was AC_CHECK_HEADERS(event2/bufferevent_ssl.h)
done. This commit adds the check.
Long ago we supported systems where there was no support for
threads, or where the threading library was broken. We shouldn't
have do that any more: on every OS that matters, threads exist, and
the OS supports running threads across multiple CPUs.
This resolves tickets 9495 and 12439. It's a prerequisite to making
our workqueue code work better, since sensible workqueue
implementations don't split across multiple processes.
Apparently, there exist cross-compiling environments for arm7 where
you can compile a 64x64->128 multiply, but not link it.
Fixes bug 11729; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Patch from 'conradev'.
Libevent uses an arc4random implementation (I know, I know) to
generate DNS transaction IDs and capitalization. But it liked to
initialize it either with opening /dev/urandom (which won't work
under the sandbox if it doesn't use the right pointer), or with
sysctl({CTL_KERN,KERN_RANDOM,RANDOM_UUIC}). To make _that_ work, we
were permitting sysctl unconditionally. That's not such a great
idea.
Instead, we try to initialize the libevent PRNG _before_ installing
the sandbox, and make sysctl always fail with EPERM under the
sandbox.
This should make more platforms (in particular, ones with compilers
where -fomit-frame-pointer is on by default but table generation
isn't) support backtrace generation. Thanks to cypherpunks for this
one.
Fixes bug 11047; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
