For a brief moment in networkstatus_set_current_consensus(), the old
consensus has been freed, but the node_t objects still have dead
pointers to the routerstatus_t objects within it. During that
interval, we absolutely must not do anything that would cause Tor to
look at those dangling pointers.
Unfortunately, calling the (badly labeled!) current_consensus macro
or anything else that calls into we_use_microdescriptors_for_circuits(),
can make us look at the nodelist.
The fix is to make sure we identify the main consensus flavor
_outside_ the danger zone, and to make the danger zone much much
smaller.
Fixes bug 20103. This bug has been implicitly present for AGES; we
just got lucky for a very long time. It became a crash bug in
0.2.8.2-alpha when we merged 35bbf2e4a4 to make
find_dl_schedule start looking at the consensus, and 4460feaf28
which made node_get_all_orports less (accidentally) tolerant of
nodes with a valid ri pointer but dangling rs pointer.
This bug had existed since 0.2.4.7-alpha, but now that we have
FallbackDirs by default, it actually matters.
Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha or maybe 0.2.8.1-alpha.

If we did not find a non-private IPaddress by iterating over interfaces,
we would try to get one via
get_interface_address6_via_udp_socket_hack(). This opens a datagram
socket with IPPROTO_UDP. Previously all our datagram sockets (via
libevent) used IPPROTO_IP, so we did not have that in the sandboxing
whitelist. Add (SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) sockets to the sandboxing
whitelist. Fixes bug 19660.
This fixes#19608, allowing IPv6-only clients to use
microdescriptors, while preserving the ability of bridge clients
to have some IPv4 bridges and some IPv6 bridges.
Fix on c281c036 in 0.2.8.2-alpha.
asciidoc adds a timestamp at the end of a generated HTML file.
This timestamp is based on the date of the file but it can change
depending on the TZ environment variable.
Our sandboxing code would not allow us to write to stats/hidserv-stats,
causing tor to abort while trying to write stats. This was previously
masked by bug#19556.
When sandboxing is enabled, we could not write any stats to disk.
check_or_create_data_subdir("stats"), which prepares the private stats
directory, calls check_private_dir(), which also opens and not just stats() the
directory. Therefore, we need to also allow open() for the stats dir in our
sandboxing setup.
If we manually remove fallbacks in C by adding '/*' and '*/' on separate
lines, stem still parses them as being present, because it only looks at
the start of a line.
Add a comment to this effect in the generated source code.
